Might have to shim a thinner OD pipe but you could solder copper caps on the open ends...maybe even bend it into a half-moon...
Not sure about the "safety factor" of this idea but you're already into "style over practicality territory", right?
i actually thought about the copper pipe! but i don't need to do an endo over the front of the bike when the pipe folds up over a bump! that wooden bar is pretty strong! but it may not stay... i just wanted to toss it together so i could see how it might look.
