Wheelie bar on a sears roper

[kart-it]

I know it's been done a million times, but we put a wheelie bar on a Sears Roper. Maybe we over did it lol. What do you think?

btw, thanks to all of you who subscribed when we put the engine video up, you guys are awesome!

Having owned 2 Sears Ropers I think they have no business popping wheelies AT ALL considering how squirrely the handling is on these bikes!

Yep, Not enough rake on the forks. On that bike I would 6.5 it with a jackshaft not two-speed too weak for the hp.

The 2-speed set up can take more HP than you might think. Jeff's last Roper had an Tec H60 with some performance upgrades. We estimated the HP at about 7 HP and it held up fine.
