Background info.. last year i looped a spreader on my 954 and havent tried them since.. i sold the 954 and bought a 636, i do not want to dent the tank until i HAVE to... i started trying them clutching 2nd up on the 636 now and i tend to slip off the tank, i do not have a handbrake so these are by no means BP wheelies when im not covering the brake...

BUT.. my questtion is has anybody put grip tape from a skateboard on their tanks? does it peal off easily with goo gone? functionality?

thanks in advance for any advice regarding spreaders and tank wheelies....

i should buy a handbrake i know, im just not there yet...

you dont need a handbrake.. and if your going to be trying spreaders.. dent that **** in!!!! learn bp good and how to float your bike spreaders may be weird at first with the new body position your balance is off but practice and if you fall.. get back on and ride

if your trying them, its time to dent in the tank

gahhhhh thats what i was afraid off... unfortunately its a 2 piece tank... the bike is an 05.. and its still fairly minty...... so i guess ill have to move to a dif bike when the time comes

+1 ( alot of ppl use grip tape.. if it comes off.. get more but generally it'll hold up)

Willybeen

anybody else.. where do you get it from? skateboard shops?

wow, um learn bp before spreaders, and you don't need a hb to do a bp wheelie... dent that ****, just take the plastic cover off, pound down the metal tank, then heat gun the top plastic, so it dips in,, do it in 1st gear.. more engine brake.. and yes, i think everyone and their mother uses grip tape

**** if i had a damn bike...

I got a quad I JUST bought so nothing going down on it yet (already bent steering stem, bars, and tie rods on it though... ****)

If i get a bike and start stunting imma ride down to the different places and stunt with some peopel (help me learn)

TL MILLER

if you get a bike you can ride down here anytime. hows casper never been there

dragit

Its alright... only lived in Pocatello, Idaho and visited a number of other towns so dont have a lot to compare to. My aunt lives in Cheyenne and I have only been there once.

THere aint anypeople here that can ride like other places...
