Looks like you need to take about 5 inches off the length of that bad boy, its way to long.

LOL, I'm workin on it. I had to get my 09 gear from shift before I go film some fresh stuff, I can't wait!! Hopefully gonna get some fresh footage this weekend with my new setup.

Re: so i guess i did it wrong..
 

you have wheels on that 12 bar?

Re: so i guess i did it wrong..
 

Hell yah. I've even looked on supermoto forums to see if maybe you just been holding out on us! You kill it :apimp

Ohh Damm,!!! I didn't even notice those puppies, you might want to leave it long with those wheels, cuz if you make it shorter, it will roll right out from underneath you when you come back on it. Thats what happened to me 5 years ago when I made the prototype roller bar for the 50, I put a little angle on it to increase the distance from the contact of the rear wheel to the rollers and it made it more stable. I ended up on my back a couple times in the process, LOL.

Thanks! Ive been out for a while with some injuries, but I'm back at it now, tryin to line up a session with Eric this weekend to get some footage.

awesome that you built your own set up but i think you need to bring it in more and put a replaceable skid plate instead of wheels

+1 on makin it shorter and takin off the wheels. once you start hittin the bar it'll come up quicker than you think. i liked scrapin my plate, but now on coasters that plate gets smashed.

ok ok, is the angle right though, pointed up like that? i followed the line of the seat..?

[QUOTE=MotoPhotoMan;3946332]you have wheels on that 12 bar?[/QUOTE]

i do, i saw that russian yz motard with wheels on the bar, thought id give it a try though, maybe not the best idea..

hmmm, i didnt even think about it rolling under me, i think a plate might be a better idea, like your bike!

thanks man, was fun.. u think a plat wil be a better idea, it will be easier to stand on the plat than on the round bar with wheels..

agreed, def think im taking the wheels off..



so lastly, Ryan, just got the motard xdream.. im the guy in South Africa that ordered it last week or so - awesome so far!

im at the part where you got spat off at 60mph, i see you bar is about 2" under your seat at a straighter angle and you have a brace that goes under the end of the seat to support it, i think thats what im going to do.. break out the angle grinder an welder im going in!

Thanks for all the responses guys!
