Safety Squat bar Mod and pitshark squat

I have been using a safety squat bar for about a year and it is awesome but Ive noticed they make them with handles so you have a place for your hands and it looks like it helps stablize.
Anyone here good with modifying equipment. Any ideas on how to add handles?? Take it to a fabrication shop?
lastly Ive seen this pitshark machine which is bascially a belt squat. Ive tried duplicating it but havent found a great way. Anyone try belt squats using a bar or anything similiar.
My quads are growing nicley, (yes press, pics are coming). One thing I found that is working,,, after a squat or leg press, I do "ghost squats". Just a name I made up. Basically, I finish the squat, then lightly hold onto anything and squat with body weight. I can only get an extra 5 reps or so and my quads are on fuckling fire!!!

i think some of them come with the handles.

we have a machine like the pitshark machine, but i have not seen anyone use it in over 2 years, how much weight do you put on it and i guess you like it?

Never tried it,, just thought it looked like a good piece. As for the bar, mine doesnt have handles, I want to add handles to it

so does it just have like little nubs that slide of your shoulders then. all the ones i have seen look like below

I have that one but mine doesn't have the handles

so it stops just right there at the pads then?

Yes, so do you think a fabricater could fix

i would think a metal worker could do it no problem, i found some that attach (i think)

I've seen those, but they scare the shit out of me. How are they better than a normal bar? I know a ton of guys who could fab up handles on one of those. A guy I know welds motorcycle frames and with the spare metal makes bad ass metal targets for pistols and rifles for us to train with
