If i had handlebars that were glued strait and couldnt be turned I would wheelie forever but the bike always lean to the side and I know people say dont let it lean but I cant help it, it just leans by itself I guess. Probly not that, I just dont know how to control it.
lol, I'm guessing the useless hook looking things are bar-ends, and those shouldn't weigh down your front end to the point where you can't wheelie. They are used mainly I believe for climbing. As for side to side balance, all I can think of is make sure you pull up equally with both hands, and maintain your speed.
