Do most of you run a 12 bar or round bar ??? i keep going back and forth with guys i ride with over witch one is better for what trick just checking to see what you guys think..

 

i have run both. if you are not doing bar tricks, then go with the round bar.

 

use the search button

theres about amillion threads on this

 

round bar, less chance of gettin hit/cut by a big piece of sharp metal

 

ASK

 

no bar.......just tail!!!!

 

just tail baby (and a bar that I made going around the outside of my exhaust)

or be like me and dont touch it

 

thats what i was thinking also. i see guys wreck doing a stoppie and the bar hits the ground about neck height.

 

depends on if ur into stoppies or not....if not the go with the flat bar....if u are into and trying id get a round bar but u wont be doing bar tricks...

 

get a bar, haha the tail in not strong enough if you hit it hard

 

dam!! lol good bump on a old thread. thats what i always had pictured in my head that would happen with out a bar. i would rather learn now with a bar for sure then with out one. i put a round bar on at the start of the season and have not looked back since..

 

a bar isn't a device to save you

you control a scrape, it isn't there in case you go over backwords.. Your stock plastic tail is a lot more forgiving

 

It would of helped, lol when i hit the tail just crumbled really, i when backward at about 7-8 grand in fourth with stock gearing (ya not smart i know) but after bp i was still at 7-8 grand so it slingshoted me on my tail and i totally lost control, i hit the back break but by that time my bike was already sidewayz and sliding.

 

Ok as a newbie i always thought the bar also has to do with wheelies, incase u loop it.

 

**** i was looking to get a round bar but i dont know if they come exstended a little bit. doesnt seem like one would protect my pipe. who knows

 

yeah, but instead of your plastic and exhaust breaking and absorbing the impact, it would have been 100% your subframe taking the impact, which could bend/break it easily

If your going to 'lose control' and loop backwords, I'd MUCH rather loop to a oem tail then loop to a solid steel bar

 

you probably will have to shorten your pipe

but once again, ROUND BARS ARE NOT FOR ANY TYPE OF PROTECTION! They are for 'stunts'. They also protect your tail/exhaust against damage while controlling scrapes, but are certainly not designed to protect your bike if you fail..

On your bike, you'll be perfectly fine learning to scrape simply by hitting your exhaust

 

True true, but either way stock tail or solid bar i would of **** fucked my **** up, so the moral of the story is -- - - just dont hit your ****** tail at all - - - - hahaha

 

but who wants to go out and buy a new tail evey time not me. **** cost to much money. i would rather bash a bar up and risk subframe damage then buy a new tail eveytime.
