Re: Round Bar
Flip a stoppie with that bar bent upwards like that, and u'll regret every minute of it.....Its bad enough to have a bar hit u, but to have one bent upward (which is downward when the stoppie flips). Thats just asking for trouble......my 2 cents

Re: Round Bar
Yeah but point i was getting it, is that the bar is pointed down directly at u. So when the bike flips, the bar itself hits u with more pressure........The flat bar alone hurts, but knowledge of design will tell u that round one would hurt like hell bent that way......Now IF it were just a round bar with no bend, then it probably wouldnt hurt much at all
Just remember everything has its advantage and disadvantages. Pain is the disadvantage of that bar LoL
I personally dont see the purpose of anything, besides just a normal round bar. Its not like the bend in the bar is helping u that much. You can 12 a round bar and ride it at 12 all day long (with a little practice). So why would u need to bend it upwards. Just keep it normal and not live to regret it

Re: Round Bar
Just make the round bar come out about as far as the 50stunt bar. I'm sure we all have ours at different lengths anyways. Some people like it shorter and some like it longer. Just figure where u are comfortable with it. Then put the round bar at the same distance.......No matter what length u put a round bar. Your foot will never rest comfortable in it as it does the flat bar. I mean lets face it, ur putting ur foot on a rounded surface not a flat surface..........Once again, advantages and disadvantages.
U havent practiced stoppies enough to flip them YET, LoL.......When u do, u'll start wearing a helmet, hehe

Re: Round Bar
Well they need to use the 50stunt bracket and plave the round bar in it. This way it is adjustable (and it has some give to it). IF they start welding the round bar to the subframe, they will start bending the subframe (especially IF they had a good welder on the bar).....The subframe welds are a weak link on the 50. They tend to start cracking over time and they end up needing rewelding or added sub support.......Chances are they would be safer just putting it in the 50stunt bracket. That way IF they bend the subframe, its most likely gonna bend at the welds and not the middle of the subframe itself
Atleast thats what i would do if i wanted to go that way.

Re: Round Bar
I'll post it up here too, $45 flat bar and $50 bent at an angle where the black line is(to cover the extra shipping since it goes in a box not an envelope). I'm gunna go get more either tonight or in the morning and bend another one up with the angle.
