strapping the front end down for the 1/4 mile
I did a search and found that a few guys use the schnitz strap but do some of you not use the radial caliper brackets..... where do you mount? And for those of you that dont, you just use the bottom or top caliper bolt? Also i read that a couple guys just use a home depot strapis it ok to run with the forks bottomed out?

Re: stapping the front end down for the 1/4 mile
i tried this and failed miserably. i put the Schntiz strap on wrong and cracked both front brake banjos. after that, i never tried to use it again.
i wouldnt use a "home depot" strap. last thing u want is it coming off at launch and flipping the bike.
no, dont completely bottom out the forks.

I used it a lot. What year is your bike, newsie?

Gotcha. Yeah, with the 05, you have to use some sort of adaptation for the caliper bolt. Either the Schnitz hardware kit or something of your own making.
