Im building a wheelie bar and am trying to decide how to mount it to the stock sub frame. If anyone has a picture I would appreciate it.

he means the drag ones i think :thumbs:
The easiest one I have seen is one of 2 ways. Either remove the grab bar and use 1 bolt on each side, or use both mounting bolts on each side with a U shaped piece that runs under the subframe with center mounting tabs for the bar :thumbs:
that's an idea. With the rules I don't think one on each side will work but I could make a bracket and tie them together in the middle. I also thought about a bracket in the middle of the grab bar?
Paul the ones i looked at @ dunefest attached to the carrier and grabbar mount.

What do ya mean by the rules? What class are you planning on running?
Sorry I meant duals. Fing spell checker.
I got ya :thumbs:
Mine mounts to tje swingarm. You can see at least one bracket on the top.

Maybe some pics, google- 3Gwheeliebar.com
A 3G-wheelie bar mounts to your pinch bolts on the swingarm and a U-bolt around the grab bar they provide. Don't try using a u-bolt with your stock grab b/c eventually it will snap in half.
Thanks. I wonder if welding a tab to the rear strut would work the same?
or if your carrier shows... since there's nothing in the middle of the carrier either something that wraps around and pinches onto that or even drilling through it? (just throwin out idears)
Not a raptor but a good idea none the less...
I know on my swinger, I had to use my own bolts for the pinch bolts... could you use longer ones and make a braket that bolts up to them? (more ideas)

That is the prefered method amoung the flat draggers from what I have seen.
Mount the lower tube to the pinch bolts on the swinger and the upper tube to a tab on the strut.
I prefer the 4 bar setups. If your not running a rigid rear or strut it may be difficult to to attach it to the subframe. Use a plate bolted to your carrier pinch bolts. That way you wont have to readjust your chain when you take it off or adjust it.
Just remember that a wheelie bar will act just like a rudder and steer the bike.
