You know they do look alittle like crutches, mabey I could have save a little time I think i have an old pair kickin around upstairs in the barn lol.Gonna give them a try at the race track today it should be interesting I hope it dosent get rained out.

Well I made it to the track the wheelie bar worked great I ran far more consistant 7.9 @77.9-88.4 reaction .4899red light to .78 with most of them around .5047-.6066 and almost all 60ft were 1.81-1.87 I had alot of wheel spin out of the hole the second run I was still fish tailing in 3rd at 70. I need to raise the wheelie bar about an inch it wasnt allowing enough transfer I tightened the preload on the rear and things got better (less wheel spin.)

Those wheelie bars look like you hit some old lady over the head and stole her walker. Please tell me those aren't crutches strapped to the back of your bike.

Seriously though, nice job!

I notice almost half a sec difference thats why i made the comment. And I am not bragging at all just trying to help you out. But 2008 at Rock Falls I did 12.522 @ 103.81 best run of the day that run had a 1.8 60ft earlier run had a 1.7 60ft. 2007 with the big shots I did 12.950 at 100.78 with a 1.9 60ft. I am just saying i noticed a huge difference in power from the two.

Hey but enjoy the wheelie bar! I've seen the warriors pull some huge wheelies, just nothing that I think its needed for. But like everyone has sad you did a mod your congrats!

I'll pm you my results from this years drags to see if it gets any better.

I have a propipe hanging in the barn one of these days ill Have to try it again I like the black with the comp end cap and baffle it looks good.

I dunno why somone like you would run there mouth about hp when my bike made as much hp and more torque than most of the bikes running pro pipes and other 2-1 systems,.And it did it with a stock air box, As far as the fake wheelie bar goes I wont even waste my time because I can tell your way smarter than I will ever be,so why dont you keep your totally negitive comments to yourself this site is is a good place lets keep it constructive.you must be an designer so give me some pointers Ill be looking forward to hearing from you.Also why dont you post up your time and speed from your trips to the dragstrip.Thanks

I dunno I too think your wheelie bar is pointless. Get rid of your robbing hp's big shots, a ton other weight you don't need and then go down the strip....Sure your fake wheelie bar may look cool but honestly there is no need.

The guy is tryin to show a DIY mod that he thought we might all like to see. I think its pretty innovative. ALSO- if you read his post you'll see that he admitted to be NEW to drag racing. In my book if the wheelie bar makes him feel more confident in his runs and it may possibly improve his e.t.'s then go with it. Personally if it were me though, I wouldn't be driving around with it on around town but it does make it hard to get it to the strip if your ridin the bike their. The welds would be much stronger than the bolts though and you wouldn't have to worry about stress fractures as long as the metal was prepared correctly before welding. The key would be to make sure you got good penetration WITHOUT blowing thru the metal or having to much heat. I don't think that you'd get enough stress onto the wheelie bar to have to worry about stress being a factor anyways. It's a pretty innovative mod and if he like's it then what does it matter? It's not like he's tryin to run pro-stock, he's out havin fun...d@mn...lighten up

I'll bet that no one lines up to your bike on a red light without thinking twice. Nice DIY.
