hey guys, well i finally finished off my tank this weekend and went riding to test it out a bit, but damn spreaders are harder then I thought
how did you guys start learning your spreaders?? right now what I do... roll around 15, sit on tank, and try to bring it up and spread

 

yep thats how you do it......unless you want to do it from a dig wich is the way most people do them

or do a sit down and jump to spreader ,it's easier then it sounds

 

+1

When i first tried em sitting on the tank before pulling it up, i had a problem with my knees hittin the bars, espically going slow. I rollem em forward a bit and it did the trick

 

I just sit up on the tank and lean back when clutchin it up. I found out leaning back helps a way lot more than just sittin straight up and down.

 

Yea leaning back helps you get your feet up, instead of just hangin there

 

do u have a hb or not...wats ur gearing, wats ur bike...post pics of ur dent job

 

I prefer SS/Jump to Spreader... works much better and looks cooler. But try not to choppity chop the throttle when you jump, it could end up badly!

 

i rip them from a dead stop or get into them from sitdowns or clutch up a highchair and pull out to them from that. i still cant jump to them from SS

 

Dude... easiest **** in the world. SS... lock out the seat stander, then kind of sit down like you are going to take a dump and hump the tank at the same time and then just sort of jump/sit down on the tank.

 

i always mash on the HB and pull myself forward

 

hell i always sat down on the tank to learn them at first and just spread my legs like a virgin on prom night.....i never hit my bars but i had risers on

 

whats a spreader?

 

are u guys seriously telling him to learn spreaders by jumping to it from ss or w.e??? u must not like this kid

 

hahaha +1

 

just do it son

 

Seriously tho

He probably can't even do a SS, and we are tellin him to jump from SS, or transfer to it from HC.

 

no hb right now and gearing is -1 +3

i'll post pics of my tank job when i get home... since it was my first tank working on then it came out to be a deep dish

 

man screw you guys from La on here I 'm always posteing **** up about lets go ride and theres never any stunters then all of a sudden theres all types of people wanting help...quit being homos and ride with people that know how to ride you will learn way faster

 

clutch it up slow...not right to bp...so u give it ttime to let the rps raise....cus u want engine braking on ur side.....when ur feel ur high enuff but the rpms are still going up a lil...just work it back a lil further and slowly....its guna be scary and u wont get it firsst try....but ull go back and ull feel ur self let off the throttle but the wheel wont drop that much....thats were u want to be...almost constant on the throttle...choppy is bad

 

ive seen that one happen. it wasnt a pretty sight
