Re: all metal f4i tail fairing

plastic cracks rarly mine usuly just gets scraped up and metal gets dented then you need to fill it w/ bondo too much work it may just be cheaper to throw some linex on it

Re: all metal f4i tail fairing

I think it's a sweet idea. I've been talking to this guy through pms & it's gonna work good with my SI round bar I'm gonna have. I won't crack the **** out of my plastics & it will look 10x hotter than a cobbled up stock tail. It's gonna be made out of 1/8" aluminum so **** will be strong. Buy a couple new tails & your gonna spend this anyways.

Re: all metal f4i tail fairing

pretty pricey but yes after about 3 or 4 tails they would equal out ... just depends if you want to drop that kind of loot up front. personally i wouldn't.

if you flip an endo, your main worry should be your bar karate chopping you in your spine....
every drop ive had, ive never seen the tail section hit ground... its always saved by cages and bar...
this is a sick way to save some bucks

exactly... why waste good sesh time, when if you had an aluminum tail, you would............. "set it and forget it"

the only way this thing will get bent up, is if you squid stunt and destroy your cages and bar first....
