    so i got my wheelie bars... I was originally planning on running 4 of the large aluminum wheelie bar mounts on the bottom of the aluminum swingarm. The mounts are massive. To save weight I am only going to use one one each side. Any issue using one instead of making a channel with 2?
    Thanks!

    Weight saving can be the cheapest replacement for horsepower . . .

    Until you start buying carbon fiber & titanium parts ?

    Then it's pretty much a wash .

    Like you suggested, a balance of weight vs saftey as well I think my bike is over built and getting heavy... the bars are very heavy... im gonna have to find a 100LB person to ride it LOL.
