New stunter - Help me build my bike

Hello

My name is Gilad and Im from Israel,

I bought a crashed CBR F4 1999, and I want to make it a stunt bike.
The only stunt I know is endo and littel bit rolling endos.

Any way, what parts will be best for me as a new stunter ?

For the bike cage I thoght about Powers - cage,subframe cage and 12'bar.

I will need a steering stabilizer - Scoots Damper ?

What about a rear handbrake and dirt-bar ? I need them ?

In Israel we dont have stunters as the bike cost too much,
My 99 F4 cost 40,000 NIS ( about 11,000 USD ) a new 600 4IL cost about 100,000 NIS ( 27,000 USD) , I know....
I bought the crashed bike very cheap but frame and motor are 100% good.

Any tips ?

Thank you , Gilad

Re: New stunter - Help me build my bike

dirt bars are your pref. a good hand brake would be 16x18 brembo ,or 1000rr master. those are good and 636 masters are pretty good.

Re: New stunter - Help me build my bike

no u dont need the handbrake just yet. practice foot brake control. dont go with powers, they've been ripping people off. go with sick innovations cage and a 12 bar. for now those are the only things u really really need. if you're interested in an OMR subframe cage: https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/214...rame-cage.html

a cage and 12 bar are all u really need right now though.

You said "dont go with powers" - why ? Their products looks very good and very.

They do pricey , but do you get what you paid for ?

yeah powers has great products. the problem is they have a reputation for taking people's money and not shipping the product, or taking much, much longer than other reputable companies who have great products.

i highly recommend the sick innovations cage if ur looking to save some money and get a sturdy product.

Re: New stunter - Help me build my bike

So Im going to order a SICK 12'bar and crash cage,

What about a sub cage ? SICK or OMR ....

As I said, in Israel we dont have any stunt bikes and I cant see the cages,
So I trust you guys to help me with the parts I need.


What about sprockets ? +5 in the rear will be good ?
I will need it for a street ride , Its not for stunt use only.

You will be happy with the sick stuff.
Sub cage - you can't go wrong with either omr or sick.

I would go +10 on the f4, you will still be fine on the streets.

Re: New stunter - Help me build my bike

any where between +5 and +10 will be a good gearing out back....I am -1 in the front and +11 on the back and it tops out at 80 mph (ish)....

you really dont need a subcage...yet I notice your rear pegs are broken or missing so you might as well get a sub cage....like scott said either sick inn. or OMR are good cages...you may be better going with sick just so you only pay shipping once for your cage bar and subcage....since i'm guessing shipping to over there isnt cheap from the US...

with only +11 -1 you will do a whole hell of a LOT more then 80mph..

More like 115-125



My friend has +20 -1 on his f4i.. and he still hits like 95 lol
