thing that scares me about wheelies is that the front wheel wont be straight when it goes back down.
i dont mind the wheel coming up 3 or 4 inches but i can't say i'd want the front end at 45 deg!!

Give it time and you will feel more comfortable with the wheel coming up
It feels like the wheel is much further off the ground than it actually is as you have the fork extension first before the wheel lifts

i agree, though im sure half the time once the forks have unloaded the tyre is only a mm off the road!!
what looks more fun is getting the back wheel of the ground during braking....
imagine balance needs to be spot on for that one!

I will get it on that recommendation.
So does the rear swing arm just sit on it? Or are there screws/other fastenings?
i could put my bike(gsxr600) onto this stand on my own with ease

Any tips on wheelying technique? I shit myself when I feel the front end even slightly rising.
