A wheelie bar is very useful. It helps you to practise wheelie with your bike till date you fully become accommodated and master with it, it allows you to practise till you gain the confidence that you need to do wheelies without any help and support from any other things or bars. A wheelie bar can not only save from many injuries and bruises but also from road rash and accidents. This bar can be made at home by you with the help of a few very common things. The things that you would need to make this by yourself are steel rods, wheels and bearings, steel braces and wheel mounting hardware. Once you get all these things then you are ready to make your own wheelie bar and drag racing parts. 1. Locate the 2 foot section of steel that is about ¼ inch thick and also 2 or 3 inches wide. The steel needs to be sturdy and strong to support the weight of the bike. 2. Next bend the steel to create two 45 degree angles that is about 6 inches from the ends. After bending you will get the shape of the alphabet ‘C’. 3. Then bend the other end of the steel to another 45 degrees so that they are 2 perpendicular sides that can be attached to the steel rod. 4. Now drill holes into the ends of the steel and fit a part of steel between them. 5. Slide in two skateboards size truck bolts into the steel rod and then secure them by welding the hardware to the edge. 6. Now mount the two skateboards and secure them with bolts, now mount the bar to your bike so that it allows you to perform wheelie. Depending on wheelie you can add and subtract things.
