a good way to check this stuff out before even ordering bars is to scale model it with paper first. figure out how far apart (y axis) the bars will be at the front attachment and at the rear axle. then cut some paper strips and use round head fasteners (office supplies) and a hole punch to make an "axle" and "bars" and a "frame"

then you can use a pencil to trace the pinion angle at different heights.

So why does this set up work if from side view bars are equal length. Id Like to redo mine a little so I can run bags on bars.

since I cant see that going up and down and know that it actually DOES work. but if it does:

bar length. look how long the bars are, longer bars = larger arc of operation = more stable in travel

look very closely. the lower bars are shorter than the upper. this is the same ratio I talked about, upside down.

So since my lower tabs would go further forward. If I was to attach them to the driveline support I built then from too view I'd want my lower Bars to be shorter in length? The side view center axle to link tab doesn't matter anymore?
