Never seen a bar that was made for it but I've seen it done with the floor boards - The guy usually cringes right after he does it.

you just need to thin out those chicken strips on yer tires.

Its probly the outer edge of the floorboards... if yer really laying her over you can get the floorboard brackets to scraping and that'll make some BIG sparks. (thats what my bud's tell me anyway)

never heard of a "bracket" to attach to yer scoot to make it spark....

Be a good idea for a party or a night ride or something, but I bet it makes it a bit slippery when you stop.
