Lew L said:HI,
I have a set of wheelie bars for the Max. Had to make some minor adjustements and spacers when I got them. With a stock Max, I couldnt really get a much better launch than with out them. As the Max isn't very wheelie pron it would take a few more ponies( I'm at altitude) to really make a difference.
Would you like to buy them???????????????

shawn kloker said:I have several videos and pics of my max standing straight up leaving the line.Stock all they want to do is wheelie.Strapping down the front helps and struts are even better but you need a radial or really low pressure to get traction with the rigid rear end.
Lew what rpm are you launching at?
wfcall said:Any pointers on strapping the front. Do I have to make attachment point or just "hook it to something" I've thought about this but haven't tried it yet due to my lack of knowledge on the subject and fear that I may die if I do it wrong
Lew L said:I tried a few different RPM for launch. 4k, 5k, 6k All with the T-boost on. The 6k launch really hit me hard in the butt--- guess I wasnt really prepared for it. I was also concerned about loosing the clutch so I stopped. I was on a local side street and I don't think the folks were too happy with me.
Maybe this summer at the drag strip?????
I'm not sure of the brand on the bars couldn't see one. The struts lower the rear end about 1 1/2 " I did have to make some spacers to get what I considered a good plumb fit on the struts.
