you scared me off with the beware. Same bar or reworked? What track are you headed to??

 

Nice job on it... You should paint it...

 

Same bar I had before. I modified it so it's adjustable now, and alot sturdier. I'll be out at Kennedale on friday. I believe Ronnie is going, and maybe Justin. I've heard of a few others going..but Im not too certain. I'm sure Chris and Bob will head out as usual [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

mxzxracin..it is painted. It's hard to tell though. When it is in the sun, it sparkles and doesn't look so dull. The paint came out darker than I had planned on, so I may take it down to the bare polished metal like I had it before.

 

I will miss. I am going to kerville for the week end. I have no idea about Bob. He left for Arkansas (CSR) today with some heads and usually stays until they are finished. I am headed up when the next batch of valves arrive.

 

Nice, is it for sand, dirt, or asphault?

How is it adjustable?

 

Ward...it's adjustable for all. I have it set real low for asphalt this Friday. When I get in the dirt, I raise it up off the ground and put the shocks back on. Riding on dirt with no front shocks would be brutal[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
The bar running up to the shock mount is hollow..and I found a piece of solid steel that fit in it and drilled 3 holes at different distances on the bar. I bolt it in to the hole that will set the wheelie bar at the right height for what I am riding on.

 

Be sure to post your times & how it runs.

Don't forget to shift your weight towards the rear when you launch since you won't have as much weight transfer with the struts!

 

I see I couldn't tell. Just a thought, it looks like you are using a flat profile tire, on the asphault I would think something more rounded would be easier to keep straight. I have my bar built but haven't had the time to try all the stuff out.
