look here! [link=http://www.monsterideas.co.uk/]Monster ideas[/link] (cilck on products and see the diff guard/ wheelie bar system) I have the diff guard and this stuff is Bulletproof! [link=http://www.rcnutshobbies.com/]RCnut's[/link]carries the full line so I am sure one of them will be able to get it to you. Btw this system is made of 1/8" (2mm) stainles steel plate. If nothing else you may be able to sweet talk VERON into sending you one I believe he is tight with the M.I. owner. Good luck

When I first bought my MB, I was just sure that it was going to roll over backwards every time I hit the throttle. Without a tuned pipe, that does not seem to be the case at all (unless I am doing something very wrong).

Never the less, I made a wheelie bar from a section of steel flat bar and a bolt-on chair wheel. I got both parts at a hardware store for about $8.00.

I wrapped the bar in cardboard, put it in a vise, and gave it a slight bend (about 30 degrees). Then, I drilled four holes in one end of the bar for the wheel plate to mount to with nuts and bolts. I had intended to drill three more at the other end to mount it to the chassis, but when the MB arrived, I realized that the metal bar was not wide enough.

I wound up scrapping the whole project because I found that I did not really need a wheelie bar, but I really think that it would have worked just fine, otherwise.

You may be able to try fabricating your own....

Come on, I didn't mention anything until Veron posted the pics and squiz1 asked where the item comes from and what's the price. I just answered a question.
Btw, let that "someone" jump. It's not my shop, I'm only working there. I don't get a dime from them for promotion. Therefore that's no real threat to me.
