Now, even though I own what you call a Craptor, I am going to try and help you.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I don't think you would need a wheely bar. You should be able to lean way over the front and keep the front end down. Not having one makes you look like a sleeper anyways. Just in my opinion, cause that is what I do, although it is going to be a challenge now (getting a 20 shot Nitrous Express installed!!!!)

I am going to run a 20 shot for now. It has twin piranha nozzles, fuel pump, 5 pound bottle (f#ckin huge!!!) and a purge valve mounted right behind the grill. It should look bad azz when I purge it!! I am mounting it on the left part of the frame right behind the a arms, like the one in Dirt Wheels.

If you have a wheelie bar, you can sit back as far as you want to. You don't have to worry about traction. If you are way over the handle bars, you will spin the tires. Spinning tires is not getting you down the track as fast as you could. Letting off of the throttle in a wheelie is not going to get you down the track as fast as possible.

Just my .02 cents

In my opinion, to do it right, no. I have seen some pretty crude bars that have been mangled because they were not built right.

I only know of one builder that builds them for the stock DS swing arm. His name is Eric. Here is his E-mail He can hook you up with a strong wheelie bar!!!! I have seen them in action with some BIG Pami motored DS's with no problems!
