since you have the pics posted in your gallery, you just right click on pic and save image location. Then you click on pic icon and paste the image location on the url. Set spacing and size and you're all set...
BTW, are you sure the fender stay location is strong enough? Have you considered using the threaded holes/location on the side of the chassis/frame where the stock passenger pegs go? Just a thought...

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
I testesed it for strength I lifted the bike with it where the wheels are attached leaving only the front wheel on the floor themain beam is bolted through the frame I was pretty pleased with how strong it turned out i cant wait to put the number plates on.Thank you for the help with the pictures,Arttymdfdwarrior said:here you go

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
Are you allowed to strap down the front end where you run at?

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
Hello,yes we can strap the front but im trying not to, the drag racing at a track is a new thing for me Ive done it two nights now and both nights Ive ended with 7.8 @88.2 mph and 7.87 @86.53 the prostock guys said I can get this bike into mid to upper 90s if iI can get out off the line without standing on end so im doing one step at a time to get consistant and faster 60ft is averaging at 1.8 and 330 is5.1 and so far the 1/8 is at 7.8 -7.9 with some spin outs making times go up to 9.0 @ 85-86.5 so Im learning.

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
I am calling bullsh!t without some pictures of these fender scraping wheelies! If you are standing it on end, I want to see it - share those pictures!! What are your 60 foot times? What are you running your rear tire pressure at? What is done to your bike - those pipes are not helping your ET I can tell you that!
You will have to let us know how those 'sweet azz wheelie bars' work out

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
Looks pretty good. For someone thats new to drag racing your 60 ft times are pretty good. I will warn you though....if your wheelie bar breaks at all on a hard launch its possible you'll get tank slap and fly off of the bike to the left or right. From the looks of your set up your joints are bolted and NOT welded. Personally I would weld them if it were me. I wish you the best of luck and hope you get better e.t.'s with your sweet DIY mod.

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
I wasn't sure if you noticed that he put down what he is averaging on his 60 ft times. I don't think that's to bad for a newbie at the strip.fastby250cc said:shadow670 said:Hello,yes we can strap the front but im trying not to, the drag racing at a track is a new thing for me Ive done it two nights now and both nights Ive ended with 7.8 @88.2 mph and 7.87 @86.53 the prostock guys said I can get this bike into mid to upper 90s if iI can get out off the line without standing on end so im doing one step at a time to get consistant and faster 60ft is averaging at 1.8 and 330 is5.1 and so far the 1/8 is at 7.8 -7.9 with some spin outs making times go up to 9.0 @ 85-86.5 so Im learning.![Image]()

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
Sounds to me like you doing pretty good, especially seeing that you have only been to the track two nights.

Im sorry you you think Im bullshitin you Pal ,and I was warned at the track about the wheelies,the only picture I have is the one posted in my gallery and the front end is just heading skyward and I never said I was scraping the fender you sound like a real smart guy so why dont you reread the post,and take a look in my gallery.and even my worst runs are 85mph + why dont you post what youve been doing at the track so I have a Goal to reachfastby250cc said:shadow670 said:Hello,yes we can strap the front but im trying not to, the drag racing at a track is a new thing for me Ive done it two nights now and both nights Ive ended with 7.8 @88.2 mph and 7.87 @86.53 the prostock guys said I can get this bike into mid to upper 90s if iI can get out off the line without standing on end so im doing one step at a time to get consistant and faster 60ft is averaging at 1.8 and 330 is5.1 and so far the 1/8 is at 7.8 -7.9 with some spin outs making times go up to 9.0 @ 85-86.5 so Im learning.![Image]()

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
Hi Terry, It is bolted I read that bolting will out last welding because you dont have to worry about stress cracks of course it was an article on snowmobile trailers they will inspect it at the track and wont let me run if they dont like it.Ive been riding around town with it on trying to break it no luck yet or should I say no bad luck, yet thanks for the heads up Im out to have fun not get hurt

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
You had better replace those aluminum bolts with harden steel, but then your still screwed due to the fact the female portion is aluminum as well. The wheelie bar needs to be attached to the frame and bolted & nut locked tight. I would not be to excited about taking that down a track with that set up. Seriously, be safe.

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
Your funny Ed,Those are hardened bolts and the main beam is bolted to the frame the upper beam through the fender stay and if thats not strong enough for what im doing we may want to stop taking passengers.We can pick the bike up from the end of the wheelie bar, so I would assume just keeping the front down would put far less torque on it.You guys will be the first to know how it works.

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
Don't get all butt hurt - I was making a joke. I did miss the 60 foot times in your post, sorry. I have done several different motorcycle races and the drag racing was probably the most fun I have ever had! I don't remember my times - they were nothing special as I am challanged on the scales. However they were consistent enough to take home the hardware in the bracket class!
![Image]()
I was getting a little lift on my front - but nothing that was enough to need a wheelie bar. I just leaned a little forward and it settled down. Most of my wheelies were about 4-6 inches - just enough to get the weight on the rear wheel and get the old turd rolling.

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
great job, thats what bracket racing is all about . do the same thing every time and you get the goods,times might not have been prostock fast but i dont think you would want to step off at the speed you were going, lol congrats, btk572

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
Call BS all you want - tone doesn't always come across in a forum post. If I was trying to be an A-hole you would have known!
Wheelie enough to need a wheelie bar? There is a group of Warriors that have gone racing a couple of times now. Generally there are no wheelies, just a ton of wheel spin if you don't get your launch just right. That is why I wanted to see how high hiswheelie was- one because big wheelies are cool and too wanted to know more about his set up - not to bust his ballz, but to learn and maybe offer a little advice...

Kinda looks kewl n different...is it a direct bolt on or did you have to modify?

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

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
Its DIY went to the the bike scrap yard I have like $10.00 into it Ive had more peaple tell me that it makes the bike.I like making my my own stuff it makes my bike a little more one off.Thank you for askiingmdfdwarrior said:hey shadow - what kind of front fairing is that on the Warrior in your gallery?

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
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.

Re: built a sweet azz wheelie bar
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
