    Simple answer to lower bar position initial setup.

    Draw a line from tire contact patch throught athe C/G Center of Gravity calculated height. adjust the front pivot point to intersect that line. engine HP and bar length will dictate how hard you shock the tires, then adjust up to down to get best launch and 60'.
    Use your upper rear adjustment to get pinion angle.
