New OnPoint F4i Parts
Hi Guys,
A few months back I posted the F4i oil pick ups that I had put into production and it ended up doing very well which encouraged me to do the same with a couple of other parts I had been only making for me and a few friends. So I present to you the currently small but hopeful soon to be expanding line of OnPoint parts. I do my all to use the best material and manufacturing, all CNC machined, and still keep the price low because I know how broke stunters are. Keep in mind you will also be helping out a fellow stunt rider who has been laid-off due to the slow economy and therefore has had the time to pursue his true joy of fabrication.
Free shirt with any Purchase:
Tail-Saver - This prevents your tail from breaking when doing Seat Stander wheelies and provides a stable platform with increased traction. Made of 1/8" diamond plate steel and Rhino lined for extra traction.
Normal retail price $99.99, currant promotional price $69.99
Gauge / Speedo Bracket - Many stunters do not run their gauges because they do not have a way to mount it to the bike when they go street fighter straighten their bars, or when using after market headlights. This solves that problem by mounting it to the upper triple tree. It's out of the way when doing high chairs. Allows you to run your bars straight without hitting the gauge because it mounts to the triple it moves with the bars. And it's held secure if the bike goes down. Made of 1.5mm or 3mm steel (your choice), Normal retail price $59.99, currant introductory price $39.99
Oil Pick-Up - When you look at pick-up's position and how it works, it's obvious that the motor will starve for oil during long wheelies or bar tricks. It took me blowing my motor to realize it. You can over fill your oil to help, but that causes other problems like blowing seals and causing extra crank drag. As you can see, this creates a pool of oil around the pick up during wheelies so that you never run dry.
Normal Retail Price $99.99, currant introductory price $69.99
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Re: New OnPoint F4i Parts
good luck with your products. And just an idea but take a picture without the upper fairing to show what it looks like so all of us without fairings have a better idea of how it looks.

Re: New OnPoint F4i Parts
Don't say you never run dry with the pickup. The return doesn't drop into the oil pan, so you WILL run dry with the divider. The divider just helps hold what oil is in the oil pan already, once its sucked up, the oil wont get back in there tell the bike is dropped.
Much better off just turning the pickup around and leaving it at that!
edit: and this is just hate, but cmon, if your gonna make a tail saver, make your own design, don't just rip off SI and use diamond plate instead..
Make it HALFWAY original
Or if you are gonna copy, at least make it out of flat plate, so you can install grip tape..

Re: New OnPoint F4i Parts

Re: New OnPoint F4i Parts
Thank you all for the support and suggestions.
Good idea. I will take a pic with the upper fairing off and post it soon. I will also post how to install each part which should give you a better understanding.
Your legs do somewhat rest on the gauge and bracket, but it was designed with that in mind. The bracket is made of 1.5mm or 3mm steel which is more then enough to support the weight and actually helps take some of the weight off your upper fairing.
And Towlieee I'm not surprised to be hearing this hate from you as you said the same crap the 1st time I posted the Pick Up and yet everyone that bought it found it to work great and was happy with their purchase. Bottom line, I can put my bike on the 12 bar and let it run and run and run without ever having seen the oil light come on, which proves it does what it's supposed to. In fact I might just record a video it the next time I'm at the stunt spot and post it on just to show you.
In regards to the Tail Saver being a rip off, there is only so much you can do with it to make it different and I think I did a pretty dam good job of it.
1.) It's a narrower profile preventing you from busting your legs on the side of it,
2.) It has an extra notch that can be hose clamped or zip-tied to the sub-frame for additional support.
3.) Its got my logo CNCed into it
4.) And yes, it's diamond plated and Rhino lined for extra traction which I feel is much better then grip tape, which would have been cheaper and easier to make mind you.

IT's just an f4i, no need for a pickup unless you do bar tricks. But if parking on the bar is what you do, then more power to ya!
I just prefer to not lose oil pressure every time I do a stoppie, I'm fine with losing it for bar tricks as I never do them
I just personally see no reason for the gasket to be there. Turning the pickup around is sufficient, and keeps oil still flowing down to the oil pan.... You should also offer to sell juts the ring itself for like $15 or something, I certainly know a few friends that would pick one up
