what does everyone use to brace f4i split seat tails? Im sick of breaking these on the sides and middle under the seat

 

are u referring to the tube under the rear seat that goes across the subframe? if so, then i found a threaded rod at home depot that i think is 3/8 of an inch and it fits in the tube perfectly. i think it's 12" long. i slid it through the tube and subframe. i bolted it on both sides and it works just fine.

 

I heard a piece of wood shoved in there works fine let me know what you hear that'll work so I can brace my tail too

 

i talked to mike jones of barely legal and he said to get a plate welded but i was hoping people would have some details for me ....the f4i tails sell for crack prices

 

f4i? never heard of it. is that a kawasaki?

 

use a piece of wood and that joint foam filler...no joke thats what ceasar did and it worked

 

A piece of wood will do the trick but if you wanna do it the right way I would put some fiberglas on the inside.

 

anybody got any pics of their tail reinforced ?

 

atl freestyle and suicidl both I want to say are using the wood. I also need to hook mine up soon since its breaking all to hell.

 

all aluminum tail

 

its nice but I'm guessing that tail cost a good bit of cash

 

i make my tails 100% fiberglass, i use a stock tail as a mold. its alot of work takes about 2-3weeks to make one, but its 50x stronger than a stock tail, and when it hits the ground it doesnt crack

 

That sounds cool, may have to try that. But come on turtle just let it crack and zip tie that bitch.

 

haha....me use zip ties on my bike...never...haha jk....my tail has gone to **** these days

 

I am going to hook this up next week and I'll post up picts

 

Wouldn't a subframe cage keep the tail from hitting?

 

it cracks from ss

 

i use the piece of wood method... u gotta modify it to fit but its a piece or plywood and it sits right behind the driver seat... wish i had pics.... it works and ive had the same tail on for a yr and a half....

 

I Use A Piece Of Wood As Well And It Works Fine For Me I Also Braced The Underside Of It Where You Stand With Some Epoxy To Also Help

 

whoa, i was way off with my first post on here. i have a piece of wood in between the front and rear seat and it rests on the subframe. it's just a little board to stand on, basically.
