stb thickness

would 1/16" thick 1" square tubing be to thin for a stb. when bending it to fit around the air cleaner it seamed pretty ridged. i weigh 225# and i had to jump on several times to get the bend.

stiffer the better! this bar is ment to be very stiff so it doesnt just flex when your driving cause if it did that there would be no point on having it

i have made about 8 stb's from 1x1 square 1/16 " that is strong but instead of jumping on it make it straight across or cut notches and re-weld it to go over a intake or something.. works well feel the difference first time out.
