racerails broke...

So the powers race rails on my 100% minty, never been down 636 randomly broke. i discovered it changing the oil tonight. right above the oil filler the metal is just snapped! WTF?! FYI the rails were put on brand new as well... i'll post up a pic here in a few min. anyone think they will stand by their product? I'll be calling very soon to see if they can replace it.

The powers cage for my 900rr cracked right at the weld the first time the bottom hit the pavement from a hard set down wheelie when I was first learning. Never bought any of their crap again. Nothing sould ever crack at the weld.

Re: racerails broke...

That flower logo on your camera is called the macro setting which allows the camera to focus on close up items O_o haha

Anyways damn that sucks...especially since you didn't even crash. When I look at Powers cage and 905 the 905 looks waaayyy stronger.

+1 On my 954 I wrecked doing about 75 mph on a mountain. Bike flipped and the 905 canyon bars saved my bike never touched the handle bars or frame. The plastic ends were broke off like they should and the paint was scratched form the rocky terrain the bike landed on but the welds were in tact!!

Sorry to hear about your **** bro

Re: racerails broke...

Sick Innovations makes rails also if you request them. Ian also lifetime guarantees against broken welds on all his stuff.

def. a good idea. Its not cool when your front tire rips out your brake lines.

Re: racerails broke...

haha! yeah, crappy camera with no macro button my battery was dead on my camera...

good call on the brake lines, i have them zip tied to the fender mount right now, but just need to go to the hardware store and get some bolts to attach my fender.

I hope they help me out and send me a new one! otherwise the fit/finish of the bars i THOUGHT was real nice....

Maybe they fit, but they were finished before they got started
