Re: broken tail section

i leave the front of my tail (where the seat bolts go) unbolted so it just pushes down there instead of breakin in the middle like yours did... you could try that, don't know how its gonna work on the F4i though, im on a GSXR now...

Re: broken tail section

man.. the f4i tails just suck. I shoved a piece of wood between the subframe and the tail. It helps a little.
