i'm in a real hurry. i can't remember which ones i sent now. anyway, hope they come out. they could use a little refinement. i was always in a hurry when putting them together. the tubbing has been beat to death for last minute adjustments. haha. but they are under the aluminum. it works great. some of you may want to go longer but this length was good for me. later.

Ok, here is what I've come up with...
I will be making, and possibly selling a few of these wheelie bars. They can be made out of your choice of 3/4in mild steel, like THEMOOSE's (cheapest), round aluminum tubing (Middle), or 4130 Chromoly ($$$). They will connect to the two bolts underneath the swingarm, that the skidplate mounts to. I will supply extended bolts with the swingarm. There will be one rod that comes up, and connects to the bottom rear shock mount. the mount will be welded to the bar, so you will bave to take the rear shock bolt off to take the wheelie bar off. Not too hard. I can have it made any length you want, with standard length being about 40in from swingarm to wheel. since it mounts to the bolts under the swingarm, it will not be able to have a whole lot of adjustability. If anyone can think of a way to adjust it, please tell me. The top bar will be on a pivot, so it can fold down, for easy storage.
I have also been asked if I can make it length adjustable. I guess I can, but there will be aditional cost, and it will add some weight. (since one tube must be larger, to slide inside the other). I have not made a decision on a tire yet. I might just end up using a tire off of a wagon, or lawn tractor trailor.
Anybody have any input?
