I am thinking of adding a wheelie bar to my LT500 for sand dragging. I have a stock swingarm and was thinking of attaching the bar to the 4 large bolts that go through the swingarm and carrier. Anyone have a Zilla wheelie bar? Any ideas for one?

 

I have that same set up.Work's good,but a pain to remove.Your going to have to get longer bolt's.At least I had to.I made mine so I could either raise it or lower it,depending on the track.

 

ZillaDaddy, I would love to see some pics of your setup if possible. Did you put a skid or a wheel on the end of it? Thanks.

 

Sorry not yet.DO-NOT use a skid plate,it can dig in and steer ya like a boat rudder.Go with the wheel.1/4 inch steel is what I used to make the bracket's to hold the wheelie bar.3/4 square tubing and a wheel,less friction that way and won't slow you down as much.

 

Thanks for the info. Do you have 4 bars going into the wheel or just 2? I'm guessing you need to set the height of the bar with someone on the bike.Thanks.

 

3 bar's go to the wheel.Make sure the weld's will hold.Do not rush making your bar,I did one time and I'm lucky to be alive or that I didn't get seriuosly hurt.The weld's broke from the top bracket leaving the bar bouncing down the track,if the front would have come up and over,it would have went threw my back.
