Edit: my bad 60" LOA

The two fat nose bars come out to 68" <WRONG, LOA for the S1 mount.

It should be about the same using hard nose bars or regular nose bars mix and match. Mating a WN to a lesser height won't add much.


Max width was 68" with a ditch in the back.
 
Hell-No! (This, coming from a pair of bicycle mechanics who have recurrent dreams about flying; up, up, and away.) Stay on the ground and wait for jets to be invented. It isn't about the doing of the thing, but rather about the price of your ticket to ride, eh? Nobody but a fool embarks on learning and DOing just for the sake of it, eh? Now how many old bars would it take John Prine to make that 60" bar? I reckon 3x28+" ought to make enough parts for one. 4x if you're lucky enough to find 'em. If you're worried about annealing and hardening steel, pay a visit to your local knifesmith, farrier, or blacksmith and ask 'em. If you're polite and listen real good they'll be plumb proud that you came and asked. After all, they're just scrap, and all of our time comes too cheap for the supply. You're only doing it for the doing of it. If'n it don't work, whack a few more nicks in it and you can either spin up a grand story about it or just call it art.
