I think this might be a little longer. Just need some opinions before i get to TIGn the ***** together.

da Liks

dude that shi t is way too long! all the way down to the tailpiece!!!!!!!!!!

Vetter

what the he ll do you mean all the way down to the tail. i see guys rockin longer ones all the time. I have a 2 inch piece of solid abs plastic im bolting to the end anyway. so ... yeah

inolen

Even if you cut it down, the angle of the scrape plate looks way wrong. It looks like the bottom of it is gonna hit first. You ideally want the back to hit slightly first (so if you sit it at 12 you can put a dime or something similar under the front), to allow for flex in the subframe.

Vetter

i know that. i just need opinion on length. but its fine. tahnks for all the replies.

inolen

Well then.. definately make it flush with the tail.

Gixxer_R.i.F.

when you add that ABS plastic to it make it at an angle

nice welding though

PavementEater

grab a friend and hold onto the front forks and lift it up to 12. See how it lines up. It really is that simple.

Vetter

Its done.

inolen

So why ask for opinions when you aren't going to listen to them?

Vetter

I did use your opinions. I looks like it lines up fine when scraping to me. I just didnt use your opinon. I thought maybe it should be a little longer but once i got it up it balanced itself perfect.

Well, it did turn out to be a nice 11 o'clock bar. People were not telling you to shorten it so it balances better. They were telling you to shorten it so the bike scrapes at 12 o'clock. In other words, the bike should point straight up when on the bar. Look at the bottom of your plastics, they are pointing forward.

inolen

Plus a longer bar is just a pain in the ***. Accidently hitting your bar is no fun.

Vetter

Well then. I was going off the swing arm. guess it shall be shortend then. Thanks for the reasoning kern.

crtchrktrcr

Gixxer_R.i.F.

Vetter
