some advise please
some advise please
Ok so i'lv been riding for 7 years now ( 02 1k gsxr) and never really did wheelis because i was afraid to flip the bike.I consider myself a good rider, but like i said to to big on wheelies, I mean i did little roll ons but never held it more then 2-3 sec. Anyway i was determine to learn and told myself stop being a pu##y and just do it. So this past weekend i went to a empty parking
lot with all my gear ( leathers gloves helmet) and start practicing clutching in 2nd. I have very good throttle control when both wheels are on the ground but not so much on one wheel. Ok so it was going ok i was getting up the wheel higher and higher each time clutching in 2nd at around 15mph. Long story short I LOOPED her and landed on my a$$ i have a nice cherry to say the least and the last two nights sucked. The bike is fine i rode it home and bent back a few things to make it ridable.
I need plastics and really need a real cowl.haha pic is below.I should i read a very important line before i tryied wheelieing.... and i quote "You want to lock your legs down on the bike so that, as she starts to come up, you don't pull back on the bars to 'hold on', which could possibly cause you to open up the gas more than you want to". PLEASE CONSIDER THE ABOVE WHEN YOU TRY TO WHEELIE!! with that said i know i need to get back on the bike and start wheelie again otherwise i'll never do it and be afraid again.. I did want to buy a 12 o'clock bar for a little help, i mean i know i can still loop it with it on but i figured it might help a little? if i did buy a 12 bar which one should i get and is installation easy? do i need to cut a hole in my plastics or do they have 12 bars that you don't need to( 02 1k gsxr)
Guys any thoughts advise on the above?? Attached Images
