I recently started working on spreaders, but when i get to the balance point I can't see ****! How do you see whats ahead of you? Do you see through the holes by the forks just like on a sit down or do you look over the front end? Is it because i'm sitting to far in the gas tank? Any advice will be appreciated.

 

damn...im tall so i can see over the bike. maybe your not sitting up enough??? do you have any pix or vid.

 

No I don't yet just started doing spreaders about a month ago haven't taken any pics yet.

 

do sit down wheelies at BP alot, and you will soon seem to not care about looking ahead. im 6'1'' and all i can see is fender, front wheel and blue sky... u get use to keeping a mental image of whats infront of you and you learn to trust your brain, if your rocking the streets u gotta peak arround the side every few secounds.

 

^^ Thanks but don't I don't trust my brain with all the weed, rather stick to " need to see it to believe it."

 

then u gotta do faster spreaders so the front end aint so high.

 

im only 5'10" and I can see right over the front of my f4i doing spreaders

try sitting with your *** further back on the tank, and your head up higher...


Only problem I have is on sit downs, I hate not seeing on the streets so i never rip sit downs on the streets

 

were talking about spreaders not tank danglers... if you can see over, your not doing one.

 

I simply do not believe that it is possible to be seen of no way, first sights and soon you have to maintain moto straight and to follow the trajectory in line straight

 

I can't really see where I'm going either. I have a general idea I just can't see what's directly in front of me. If I have to I dip the front end down a bit so I can see and then pull it back behind bp to slow it down again.

 

1+ WELL SAID.

 

sorry i dont have a huge post count, guess that means i can't do spreaders


edit: btw wtf does your leg position have to do with weather its a 'tank dangler' or not ?


I can' do ******* heel clickers for miles and see just fine

if you sit far enough forward, you'll see right over, unless your short...

 

just peak down the side every once in a while, or just hang to the side constantly just get used to it

 

yeah, I can see little further ahead and im like 6'5" or something, but he is FF...but you can always look over side...

 

look out for raised manhole covers

 

my huge post count matchs my huge spreaders with no HB.. if i sat any higher i wouldn't be in the dent. and if i lean any more forward my leg height would be less... i cant bend over and touch my toes or heal clicker.. not everybody is a Gymnastic like you..

 

make sure there isnt anything in front of you and rip it up and lean back ...


eventually you will be able to peek around the sides to see whats up there

 

if you cant see when your doing a spreader your doing it right, if you learn how to do them with out a hand brake, your even more of a pimp.

 

just peek around the side of the bike.

 

i peek around sometimes, but if you are on a street just look down at the lines...make sure the bike is between them and you'll be on the road.

i'm 5'9", rockinga 30mph balanced spreader on the street i can't see anything but triple tree. (streetfighter bike)

if you're leaning forward then your feet will point forwards or down, not way up like they are suppose to be. feet should be above head. lean way back, throw those feet way up.
