Hey, sent you a pm, I can ship your slugs on Monday just need an address

This is my first build so i'm far from an expert but I read that slugs should be double the tube width. So if your using a 1" tube you would want a 2" slug minimum. Maz could prolly be able to give us some pointers there.

Hey no problem, how long do you want them to be? Or do you want me to just make them like 6" and you cut them to size?

Nice build, I made my slugs out of heavy walled DOM tube and machined to size which worked out pretty well. Wouldn't mind machining you a set if you like. I have more stock or 1" solid stock also if you like. I would need sizes or a piece of the tubing your using to go by. Let me know, not sure...

Love it, I've never seen anyone use the tubing on a diamond before really gives it a whole different look. Great Work Maz.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words, I am currently working on the slugs for the downtubes. My downtubes are factory original 1.25 outside erw tubing, I made some slugs out of 1.25 x .250 wall DOM tubing. This allowed me to be able to turn a step in the slug to match the inside of the erw and be ...

Yes, I didn't have any 5/8" material so I used two 1/2" plates welded together. It's a little thick but since it was my first build I figured it would be a little safer. Im debating the final weld up of the girder, I don't know whether to mig it or tig it. I have used mig for many years an...

Here are some additional pics of the build so far. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p558/Barry_Crabtree/Photo0142.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p558/Barry_Crabtree/Photo0141.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p558/Barry_Crabtree/Photo0136.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p55...

Here is what I ended up with for the final layout, I still have some welding to do and the girder will set back a little further after I make another set of trees. The ones on it now won't allow for correct trail and must be changed. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p558/Barry_Crabtree/Photo0153....

Ok so here is my latest project, It's an 83 Honda Shadow VT750C I picked up for $500.00 from a friend of mine. http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p558/Barry_Crabtree/Photo0017.jpg http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p558/Barry_Crabtree/Photo0046.jpg I know what your thinking....yes that is my livin...

Hey Maz, got a couple questions for ya...What wall thickness and what size square tubing do you use for your diamond girder build ? is it cold rolled tubing? I wanted to use square tubing on my girder build but since it was my first I thought I better stick to round tubing instead. Thanks in advance...
