Why Choose Coped Bungs:
Coped bungs are the preferred choice when welding to round tubing (frame tubes, handlebars, sissy bars, etc.). The curved notch matches the radius of the tubing, allowing the bung to sit flush against the surface. This creates a cleaner appearance than standard flat-base bungs and provides more weld surface area for a stronger, more reliable connection.
Common Applications:
- Mounting to round frame tubes
- Sissy bar mounting on round tubing
- Handlebar mounting points
- Fender strut mounting to round bars
- Luggage rack mounting to round tubing
- Any application where you're welding to round tubing
Other Fabrication Hardware Options:
Depending on your specific application, you might need a different style of bung or mounting solution:
Alternative Bung Styles:
- Standard Threaded Steel Bungs - Traditional flat-base bungs for welding to flat surfaces or when coping isn't required. Best for gas tanks, seat pans, and flat mounting surfaces.
- Counterbore Steel Bungs - Designed specifically for socket head bolts with a recessed counterbore for flush, low-profile installations. Ideal for visible mounting points where clean appearance matters.
- Radius Style Steel Bungs - Feature a radiused base for improved weld penetration and strength. Best choice for high-stress applications on flat or slightly curved surfaces.
Non-Threaded Mounting Solutions:
- Weld-On Steel Mounting Tabs - When you need to mount brackets, fenders, or accessories without threaded fasteners, our mounting tabs provide secure weld-on mounting points in 7 different styles.
Specifications:
- Material: Steel
- Thread Sizes: 5/16-18 or 3/8-16
- Lengths: 1/2", 1", or 1.5"
- Style: Coped (curved notch for round tubing)
- Finish: Raw steel (ready for welding and finishing)
Perfect For:
- Custom motorcycle frame building with round tubing
- Chopper and bobber builds
- Cafe racer and tracker conversions
- Hardtail frame fabrication
- Sissy bar installations
- Professional fabrication shops
- DIY custom builders
Installation Notes:
These coped bungs are designed to be welded onto round tubing at the desired mounting location. The curved notch should fit flush against the tubing for maximum weld surface area. We recommend:
- Verify the cope matches your tubing diameter for proper fitment
- Test-fit components before welding bungs in place
- Ensure proper clearance for fasteners and moving parts
- Use appropriate welding techniques for your material
- Clean and prep mounting area before welding
- Paint or powder coat after installation to prevent rust
- Use correct thread size for your application (5/16-18 for lighter components, 3/8-16 for heavier)
Professional installation is recommended if you're not experienced with welding and frame fabrication. Each TC Bros coped steel bung is precision-manufactured to exacting standards for reliable performance and professional appearance on your custom motorcycle build.
