Is my bar angle wrong ???

Well as some of you know I am battling the 12'z, having a hard time with the parking. I noticed the wear on my 12 bar last night seems to be only on the bottom section of the bar and I can assure you the dragway is flat as hell.
I have attached a pic for comments. When I installed the FI bar I clamped it in place and a buddy and I lifted her back onto it and it appeared to be flush. My tailight is crooked as hell but the bar is lined up with the subframe and swingarm.
I think (man I dont even remember ...lol) I have dropped it about 7 times so far trying to park it !! Luckily its slow stuff but still.......
I have attached a pic for comments !!
Cheers

It's a little off- but it should wear in after a couple of times dragging it.

how much pressure was in the tire when you installed it?

Goddamn Mike I think you hit it right on the $$.
I had full tire pressure....32 lbs...I always fillup b4 the highway ride back from the track.
Which means when I installed the bar on my new subframe last night the tire was full !! At the track I am running 10 - 15lbs....
Which is probably why it is a little off !!!
Xcellent thinking !!

exactly. Changes the angle no doubt. ITs hard when you drag only the bottom of the bar, it bites into the ground.

Try moving it just a hair - after a few drags it'll break in great.
