wheelie bar or + swingarm

[nphillybanshee]

I wanna know who is running what on there asphalt banshee. And why you think it is better. thanks wheelie bar or extended swing arm

[Jereme6655]

your not really going to find too many banshee's that are doing asphalt drags......don't get me wrong there are some that are out there doing it. But not a ton of them.

 

This is where the age old problem of draggin comes in.......go with a extended swinger and you lose traction (based on geometry) or go with stock or shortened swinger for MORE traction and have a white knuckle front wheels slightly in the air and no steering while your dragging on your wheelie bar.

 

basically it comes down to tihs.....do you wanna throttle-out of it to get the front down? or throttle-out of it to get the tires to hook?

if your going to spend the money don't waste your time get them both. that bike will hook hard when you launch.

I run both extended arm and bar at the track,stock cylinder +6 is a good length and you can still get your ass over the axle,my bar is 95% of my wheel base,with the rite tire and arm angle you will have no problem hooking as a matter of fact i need the bar,drag racing is about being consistant enouph to know when slight improvements in set up and power change ET.So anything that help you get down the same way each time is a go in my book.With the rite clutch set up an tranny you can get it to work with no bar but my slips show huge jumps in 60ft times with the bar.Dont worry we are still street racing in Long island and hitting the track trying to keep it alive over here

I would do like a plus 4 swinger and a bar cause then you get the best of both worlds.

Don't have any asphalt experience but just remember going to short will slow you down also cuz of how hard you'll hit the bar when you launch....Personally I'd go longer before I'd go shorter. Stance of the bike also dictates weight transfer. If you have the bike raked down towards the front it will be harder to transfer compared to if the front is level with the rear for example...theres lots of variables and trial and error.
