00tbanshee Posted May 26, 2008 Report Posted May 26, 2008 3/4 OD with .058 thick for the bottom bars and 7/8 OD with .058 thick top bar.if your are running a shock on the back you are going to have to mount everything to the swingarm i believe Quote
2bzy2p Posted May 26, 2008 Report Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) i think it would be alot of wasted time spent building a wheelie bar for 75 horse.. Edited May 26, 2008 by 2bzy2p Quote

2bzy2p Posted May 26, 2008 Report Posted May 26, 2008 Thanks for your input... Not trying to be a dick but by looking at the bike if you are trying to drag it. I would spend my time comming up with ways to lighten it before I would spend time on a wheelie bar... Quote

I go duning alot and like the way it is set up for that but for dragging it stands up very easy so my thoughts were to build a bar to put on and take off for the track so I did not have to lower and strut it for the track.
