Wheelie Bar Struts...

[bellucci]

Last year all I saw was sky for the first 3 gears at the dragstrip... This year I am going to try and build struts to go with wheelie bars that I have... The question is how low to go towards the tire. I am probably going to have to modify the existing bars after I have the struts built, but as always, we pinch pennies... I looked at Pingle's site and found just the struts for $325.00...
Not in my price range... I have a 3 in. extended swingarm so it sound like I have to custom build it all... Any and all ideas are welcome...

are you going to make it a track only bike?

The $325 is for wheelie bars AND struts. Call them, they will sell just struts.

Thanks for the info... I went back and saw that too.. now to measure and see if I can make them cheaper... Blowerbike gave me a good idea of using rear brake stay rods to start with and modify them... off I go...

i have one pair of matching stays @ a little under 13.50" center to center.
let me know and i'll throw you a shipped price out there.
FYI
the pingle struts with mounts are made for stock length arms.
an extended arm causes the wheelie bar mounts to be WAY OFF and needs remounted from scratch.
