What upgrades=longer wheelies?

Im rocking wheelies on my stock 03 fifty for at least 200 yards consistently. Cant seem to go further than that. I know with practice it will get longer, shoot, thats how i got this far in the first place.
But what upgrades gave a definite help/boost in the wheelie department?

Re: What upgrades=longer wheelies?

Practice and more practice

My big bar kit helps, cuz it puts my hands up and wider (I'm 6 foot three)for better control. I also have a bore kit, so if I start to drop a wheelie, I just throttle the crap out of it, lean farther back, slip the rear brake and it comes back up. Life is better on one wheel.

rock it stock no need for a bore kit to ride a wheelie

Red or blue powerband. Try the blue one first. The red one hits pretty hard. :YEAH

that's two football fields. i think if you can ride a wheelie that far then you have the balance concept down. are you sure about 200 yds lol

Re: What upgrades=longer wheelies?

change the front tire air to thin, it comes thick stock, that makes the front end heavier and you can't really wheelie that long like that.

Re: What upgrades=longer wheelies?

Helium in the front tire tube makes the wheel easier to keep up in a wheelie......dont use too much though.....u know what will happen...
