ohiobanshee Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 Wanting to make a wheele bar for dirt drags. Where is the best place to mount it? To the frame or swingarm? If anyone has pics please post them. Have less than a week to get this done. eric Quote
2bzy2p Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 we bulid them and use a swinger with the tabs for it,then run a strut with a tab and we run the top rail to the strut Quote

bigboybanshee Posted July 14, 2007 Report Posted July 14, 2007 We made a mount that attaches to the pinch bolts on the swingarm, and welded a brace between the frame rails to mount the top bar to. Here's a pic, mine and the bike next to me both have identical setups as far as the bar goes. We have quick release pins so there's no bolting/unbolting...I can take some closer up pics if you're interested. Don't know if you have a place to get the materials but we got ours from www.chassisshop.com, good prices, lots of stock, quick to ship Quote
ohiobanshee Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Posted July 15, 2007 Thanksfor the help. How do you determine the length of the bar? Bigboy will that setup work on a suspended bike? eric Quote
alcoholbanshee Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 Rule of thumb most go by is....Wheelie bar should be same length as bikes wheel base. Quote
wesw Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 travis i would like to see more in depth pic if possible. thanks Quote
holeshot2 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 Thanksfor the help. How do you determine the length of the bar? Bigboy will that setup work on a suspended bike? eric you will want a struted rear with a wheelie bar. Quote

MDS2106 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) Rule of thumb most go by is....Wheelie bar should be same length as bikes wheel base. What about the drag bikes with 10'plus frames??That would put the total length at over 20' I guess once the frame is so long you have to go shorter on the wheelie bar Edited July 16, 2007 by MDS2106 Quote
2bzy2p Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 it doesnt matter how far its plused out the front you still use that calculation. most 24 out the front frames use around a 6 foot wheelie bar Quote
