tail saver mod
quick fix for no money. took longer than i thought it would though.

materials- 4 long wood screws(cut to length)
- small piece of (wood)trim
- 10" piece of wood (1 * 4)
- elmers wood glue
tools -screw gun
-saw
-two c-clamps
-drill bit(starter holes for screws)

......the rest is pretty self explanatory.

Re: tail saver mod
it still will end up breaking if you use the sides of your tail (ss o's)ect. I only weigh 130 & I blow out tails. just ordered a si tail saver to be done with it.

Re: tail saver mod

Re: tail saver mod
I thought I wouldn't need anything like this for my SRAD since I'm not really stepping on much of the tail section at all but more so the seats. But...tonight I was practicing and my tail cracked...dammit.

Here's some pics from another guys bike on how it mounts...**** looks pretty solid. Wish I never sold my welding machine...
