my old gsxr had a flat bar and i could scrape that biyatch from top of 5th gear to a park no problem.. prolly over 1000ft easy...

my new zx6rs i just left the exhaust no wheelie bar.. (pretty much a roundbar) and i can scrape em for a pretty sick distance no prob. havent really tried to go for a really long scrape on em though.. but im sure it would be no problem...

oh and ya i pull in the clutch when i do long drags

Martino, good riding the other weekend, hopefully catch up again soon. Whether u have a 3 foot wide scrape bar, a round bar or just a back fender...the further back past 12 o'clock you go the more unstable it feels.

 

there is an empty shed somewhere

I saw some poeple recently with round bars they were scrapin all over the place in the lot seemed fine with them???? i havent ever seen someone scrape on the E-way but that would be hella sick. I'm curious to see this guys footage for sure!!! should be nice

EDIT: when you say round bars woul be easier for O's you mean you couldnt catch an edge right? or am i off on this on?

 

it's a user error.

scraping high speed for distance requires just as much balance as a wheelie....you get your weight off balance and you're done.

that being said i hate round bars and drag with a flat bar, always smooth and for long distance because i love dragging SS on the streets. My flat bar will get shitty too if i'm not smooth so i don't think it's the bar.

 

i scrape, but only on my scrapper bike, on my scrapper bike!!

 

i use a flat bar.....but that's all i've ever had so i have no say so in this....but i would like to see that vid....Kane post one of those 1k footers up.....that'll be even more badass

 

damn it!!!! ya beat me to it!!
hahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

I love my flat bar and Ive never done a bar trick in my life. I'll do a long scrape in the next az's finest vid.

 

rofl, i dont think many people got that one:YEAH.

I have a round bar and totally agree with you about the balance issue....I find myself using my upper body to sort of throw the front end either way that it tries to get out from underneath me, Try to maintain which way it is going

 

Dam right, i've just gone from this



to this



and i'me getting a round bar as well. I've not scraped a round bar yet but i've done my old tail without a bar. All i did was a coaster and and let it come back, but that was only about 40mph ish, not much more.

What speed are you talking about??

 

The pizza pan kinda takes away from the sleeper look on that gixxer .High speed scrapes flat or round bar definately pull in the clutch,I think it's way more stable with the clutch in.

 

Uhhhhh! you said your on the highway how fast you goin????? and yep, pull in clutch!

 

It doesn't matter whether its a flat or round bar, just pull in the clutch.

The flat bar will eventually create its own flat spot anyways.

 

here ya go man..... only had a couple mins to get out today... mid second gear... probably 50 to 75fters... been a while since i dragged my bar

^^^ damnnn sick vid!!!

 

dragging a round bar is easiers cus it doesnt have edges to catch....as soon as u get over the panic when it moves around a lil u get it...cus it wobbles then straightens it self out, if it gets real bad u can ride the brake a lill....my best is coming in 4th gear coasters on the highway an draggin it for like 2 secs....i cant drag acouple hundred feet on the highway...that wud be nutty

 

U still ride?!?!?!

Man... we've all been down pemstar the last couple wkends.... been askin where u been.... all i hear is ur a "professional drinker" now lol... c'mon down to the dam spot... u can ride my bike.

 

All that without a flat bar, purley amazing << Dripping with sarcasm
Good chit kj
