I built a wheelie bar for my chopper bike today. I built it out of an old chrome luggage carrier that i got at a rummage sale for 25 cents, and 2 ends of an old sissy bar that i cut off a long time ago.
it's only held to the frame with 2 nuts, bolts and wing nuts, and there is no way that this could ever be functional because there is not enough support. I just made it for looks, and to be goofy...there is no way thet my bike could ever do a wheelie....lol
i did take my bike for a ride with it on today, and i got a few strange looks, and a couple of thumbs up.
I'll be taking this bike to a car & motorcycle show next month, and i am entering it in the motorcycle class just to be goofy.
i think it will make people look and question the bike..."hmmm, look at that bike....it has a wheelie bar! it must have a lot of power!"
lol.
also check out my headlight and tail light. I re-wired both of them to run off of L.E.D.'s (3 in the headlight and 2 in the tail light). the headlight is powered by 4 AA batteries for a total of 6 volts, and the tail light is powered by 4 small 1.5 volt watch type batteries that also equal 6 volts.
the headlight is self contained, with the batteries inside the light housing and the on/off switch on top.
the tail light batteries and on/off switch are hidden under the seat.
