Hi All,
I'm in the process of building a family cage. I've bought a family cage kit from TBP with 2" DOM, .120 tubing. I'll be tacking everything together and having it professionally welded. This is mostly a cruiser, but will be taken off-road occasionally and hopefully taken on some longer trips.
I plan to add front and rear seat mounts to the cage. I was planning to use 1.5" tubing for the seat mounts with flat bar stock to mount my sliders, but that brings me to my questions/options.
1. Can I use 1.25" or 1" tubing? (I don't want to sacrifice safety, but don't want to have larger tubing than I need.)
2. Could I use square tubing? If yes, what size?
Thanks for the comments/recommendations.
David
