HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT FIDDY BARS...

WHAT BARS DO YOU PERFER

1 THE 12'0 CLOCK SCRAP BAR
or
2 THE 12'0 CLOCK BAR WITH ROLLERS ON THE BACK....

WHATS THE PROS AND CONS TO BOTH.....

AND WHICH WEBSITE DO YOU PERFER FOR EITHER BAR!

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!

 

both bars $***, they make the BP like 6 inches lower, but if I had to get one id do the roller

 

Reallly.. i never heard that, but im glad you posted that up cause i was think'n about get'n one. But i dont like bar tricks anyway so no biggie for me! I seen on fiddylife some kid was say'n he can scrap fender and bring it back on a stock 50. Anyone ever see this happen? cause i haven't

 

Theres a clip on uponone of someone doing it.Ive tried and ate it like 5 times (not hard though because when you go back that far you slow down real fast).my buddy can get to within an inch, he comes in bombin close to the top of third, hes real good, better than anyone Ive seen in person or video

 

I don't understand the bp thing

Do you mean when your wheelieng or scraping

With a regular 12 bar when you scrape you will slow down . But you can gas it will your scraping and you will keep moving some . Towlieee has videos of this at Fiddylife . He ape hangs and gases it .

A roller 12 bar you would just keep rollin forever . I dont know who sells them . Ill try to find a pic of one and post it .

When you said the guy at fiddylife scrapes his fender , i think he was wrong . You would have to be going HELLA fast and have a super duper back brake to pull yourself out of it . I bet you would crash every other time you tried it .

Your bike would be at like 2 oclock position (seriously)

Edit : I think i understand what you sais about the bp . A bike with a 12 bar should stand almost completely vertical . If your bar is messing you up when you are in a regular wheelie , your bar is either mounted wrong or it is way to long . Just my

 

I mean the balance point of regular wheelies is a lot lower when you have a 20lbs chunk of metal hanging off the back. The BP is also way lower in your sitting on the back of the seat. Put your nuts on the gas tank and BP is way up there

 

Roller Bars are gay get a regular 12 bar

I have a T-bar from Turboglenn it weighs maybe 5 lbs if even that .

 

Turboglenns T-bar looks like this . But his is homemade . It is quite strong . Just ask Towlieee . It can withstand ape hangers . But the Freestyle ingenuities bar is pretty pimp too

 

Yea Glenns bar is nice if i did not run a FI bar i would go with one of his.

 

The wieght of a bar even an aluminum bar lowers the BP.That is why I dont like them. Some people might prefer a lower BP.

 

This is true . More weight on the rear of the bike will throw off the balance .

But lets just say i was super hungry one day and ate 2 whole pizzas and drank a 6er and gained 5 lbs . I would just have to compensate with either more brake or better throttle control .




Or just take a huge ****

 

The dude on fiddylife also says he only rode 2 days and can scrape fender... i called him out on it and he says he will get vid. whatever...

 

You gotta be goin fast like 3rd gear fast to scrape fender. i can do it going downhill but not on flat ground. not come out of it anyway hit the tail on flat a few times but ended up chasin the bike down the street. Its tuff.

Kid on the starboyz forums i think his name is chuckles has been doin them for awhile

 

ya but a bar only weighs like 5 pounds, if that..

And I can always move my happy *** forward, sit up on the tank and clutch it up,

 

i've seen it done once on uponone.com, and in an old 256 video, back when they rode 50's

 

i can almost scrape my fender on 3rd gear coasters. ill try to scrape it and get some video.

 

Good LUCK.. and make sure you get vID!! i have scraped it but can't ever bring it back. YOu really gotta be haul'n as*!:YEAH

 

hope you done did the brake mod, lean WAY the **** forward and keeps your nuts near the tank (it'll bring the BP higher)

 

what brake mod?
