Correct. Most don't run rear suspension with a bar.

those drag bikes are cool

damn dave! thats beautiful. did you make it? im guessing the shock is so you can use it in the dunes right?
-
yeah I made it, the shock is suppose to take the hit away and not unload the rear tires when the bike comes up.
you can also accomplish the same thing by building a longer wheelie bar.
I have tried it in the dunes, but if you tune you rear shock pressure and tire size you can avoid needing a wheelie bar in the dunes
-
ok i get it. thats sweet looking. Great job on that.
-
Well I some of the parts ordered to get this going. Was size tube should I use. 1" .120 wall? What size Heims? 1/2" or would 12mm work since I have the taps for it already?
Going to make it like Eightmup has his setup.
-
You going to build a 3 or 4 bar wheelie bar? My 3 bar wheelie bar on my puma lower rails are 3/4" 0.49 I think my top rail is 1" 0.65 it's all chromemoly. I wouldn't go .120 wall that will be a heavy bar. My lower hemis are 3/8" aluminum ones and my upper rail hemis are 7/16" aluminum ones I think.
