lol wheelie switch...

[gimpy limp]

I ran a search for threads on this but nothing, how dangerous does this thing look, can't imagine it takes much to accidently knock it on by mistake and find out as your accelerating hard from a junction or a fuse goes and your on your ass:

I dunno just doesn't seem safe to me, may be alright if it's used just to get a feel to where you should be accelerating to maintain a wheelie then not rely on it but how does it know how much you weight or the bike?

I would find that more useful for setting it at 30 and close to the handlebars so I dont have to worry about constantly checking the speedo for getting pinched going 2 mph over the limit.

I made a 'wheelie wand' myself using a stainless steel welding rod attached to a switch and wired into the side stand engine kill switch. Was really effective and can be made for less than £1. I was gonna start marketing them but didn't fancy being bombarded with complaints if they went wrong.

cool, so they do work then do they? be fun to try out either way, a little like having a stabiliser on the back in drag racing to stop you throwing yourself up.

I've considered making a wheelie wand before as it seems pretty damn simple and no way worth the £100+ I've seen them being sold for.

I had been wondering about making one that could do angles, (and not have something sticking out as well) but wasn't sure about a method of measuring it well enough.

I presume that one is just a damped weight than hangs verticall whatever angle the bike is at.

gimpy; the idea is that with it on it'll cut out the engine at a certain angle rather than speed.
As far as a fuse going or the test switch getting knocked or a fuse going, well that can happen with most other bits on your bike as well .

Don't do it G, you're better than wheely wands.

Seriously, wheely wands are dangerous... for more than 1 reason too!

OMG!1!! fit wheelie siwtch n wheely like the pixzor on ebay who doesnt even have a wheely switch fitted anyway OMG Roxor!!111

Basically.

You can buy a decent tilt switch for about £3

The cheapest i can find a dial/variable one is £20

I wouldnt fancy one that kills the engine There are some on the market that just momentarily cut the ignition, so you set the angle, then when it gets there it cuts the ignition slightly, which may mean you run a bit rich for a few metres, but it's better than having your engine cut without being ready on the clutch.

Cruise control for bikes, that's quite a novel idea.

In the first pic it looks pretty hard to accidently knock it on, unless ur leg gets up there... lol, as its postioned on the back.

Fuse going? well it could happen, but u could also get a blow out whilst cournering at 100mph, but u still do it!

just get a pillion and tie there hands together,,
when they fall off you are at maximum tilt
