He looks "rather large" in his pic so that may help out the rubage, plus that body style gixxer doesn't have a whole ton of room under the tail, it sound possible to me

 

Mine rubs my rear tire a lot to the point that the subcage is nice and shiny silver on the bottom. But it doesn't seem to be a problem and I'm a big guy so . I do have my shock cranked to full tightness. Unless it can damage the bike or tire in some way I don't really care I guess.

 

How does the powers rub the tires?

 

wow t dog thats the best way to figure out what one you want ,buy both.....lol

thanks for the props.....

p.s -omr- folding peg subcages are $175 shipped.........pm me

 

Guess it rubs if you use up the suspension . Miltown on here weighs like 160 and his rubs a little bit. I weight 240 and mine rubs a lot.

 

im only a buck 30 and mine rubs. and yes my rear shock is cranked all the way up

 

Here is a pic of where it sits in relation to the tire. I can get some pics of where it rubs tonight when I go to the lot...

 

Must be something about the amount of clearance on the hondas. My Kawi has never rubbed once

 

Don't want anyone to think I'm bashing them either, I really like the powers subcage a lot, just pointing out that it does rub.

 

Is there any other way to route the support to give it more clearance?

 

no complaints at all i can't tell that it rubs i just noticed it the other day

 

I think there is room to raise it up some more because I have an undertail and there is still a gap I believe. Like I said, I'll pop off a couple of pictures tonight so that you can get a better idea unless someone beats me too it.

Only other thing I would say about the powers subcage is that they should give you the option to have either the stubby pegs that are in the picture on their site (same ones they use for the axle sliders) or the really long ones they send with the cage. I think I cut almost two inches off of mine because they were super long.

 

I'm 6'5" 300lbs....


It doesn't rub BAD, but it rubs (nice and shiny metal as described above)...

will post pix later

 

Right on, ill give matt a call.

yeah, I would say you fall into the big guy category...

 

mine rubbed....i did have a 190 race take off on there though (they're way taller than 180's ) and that's the tires I can get real cheap...so I sent it back and traded for some other stuff....I want to try an OMR

PM'd ya' OMR

 

does anyone make 'em for f2/f3's ?

 

I got an OMR and it's good. No complants yet.

My buddy ordered a Powers for his 06 gsxr. So when he gets it we can do a better comparison.
I'm sure both will be good.......but I'm really liking my OMR.

 

this is some good info i juz ordered one from warped the other day for my 07 gsxr, but when you mean the tire hits is....how do u mean? just tryin to picture it, i dont kno if ill have problems hittin, my 140 pound a$$ jumps around on that bike an it wont even compress that shock at all. guess well see

 

funny mine did come with the stuby ones i just wish they where black

 

The ones mine came with were really long like bicycle pegs. I just chopped them down so no big deal I guess. I'll have someone machine them clean over the winter.
