hey man the bsr is looking good. how high do you want your wheelies? the way they are there the stool will be able to sit in a wheelie.....i have mine setup so i have to power wheelie it all depends on what you like.sorry don't have a camera yet to show pics of mine. i would maybe use a smaller wheel mounted to the sides of the rear risers or better yet get some titanium pate bolted back there for a killer spark show.

I created a simple wheelie bar for my BSR and it works pretty good. It takes some time to get used to riding on the wheel, but now I can ride wheelies down the street.

For more information and photos of my setup, click the following link:

I dont see anything wrong with what you have, but its your stool and I understand you wanting it a certain way. Here is a pic of a good freind of mines wheelie bar, simple and very effective:

Hello, I do not no what kind of look you want. I like the look of extended wheelie bars, with two wheels. With the up kick on the rear of your frame kind of like mine you coould extend it back about 16 or 18 inchs level with the top of the rear frame and I believe you would get the balance of the wheelie about right. see attached picture! Have Fun!!!:hot:

Well, after days of thinking and drawing, I came up with this idea, once its sand blasted and painted or powdercoated, should look pretty nice.

scottykart has a shop not to far from me. I was there awhile ago and he has one stool there with a single skate board wheel on a longer wheelie bar frame and it looks sweet. The width of the skate board wheel goes well with the 7 and 8 inch wide slicks most guys put on the back. try www.compusmart.ab.ca/scottykarts/barstool/kbar.jpg

How about posting us a video of you riding a wheelie?

I also use a single wheel like yours and it takes time to learn to the delicate balance of power on the single wheel so the BSR does not spin out form under you. Funny thing, after having a few beers I seem to be better at riding the wheelies.

I am now able to ride for about 20' - 30' on the one wheel.

My vidio camera died years ago....
I did ride qite a few wheelies today, well over 50 feet. I guess the 2 wheels make it easier, no need to lean side to side, just sit back, and hold on, and watch the power....
