question concerning Ian's Sick innovation f4i tail saver

are the things really worth it:
what are the pro-s and con-s. I really want to know how it works. Because right now im putting a 2x4 behind my seat to stand on during seat standers and to somehow prevent my rear seat cowl from cracking

i mean 99 bucks isnt much, i can afford it..just wanted sum opinions

Re: question concerning Ian's Sick innovation f4i tail saver

Short of a cage and round bar.... This is the best piece u can buy for an F4i . Its solid as a rock , u will NEVER touch the tail with ur feet again and its like jumping off of a piece of concrete when moving around for combos. Its a MUST for any f4i stuntbike

Re: question concerning Ian's Sick innovation f4i tail saver

I had the 2x4 setup for yrs... its nowhere close to the sturdiness that the tailsaver is. Its the difference of a stock footpeg setup -vs- SI subcage with solid pegs... NOT EVEN IN THE SAME LEAGUE. BEST 100$ u will spend on ur f4i

this is true, I had the fiberglassed tail with a block of wood under it, and my buddy has a si tailsaver, no comparison, the tail saver is waaaaay sturdier

pro- solid platform, you can ******* dance on this thing while in a ss. sturdy as hell a must have


con- if you should go down and land on top of said seatsaver well expect some breathing issues. i went down and landed on top of it and i think i might have busted some ribs.

how often not often at all...if i feel im about to crash i usually bail or force the bike back down and pull in the clutch..sit down circles are dangerous but ss circles are easier to escape from(if you go down)
