Arrow Which tailsaver

So I been looking over my 3 choices of tailsavers I can buy, found one more but looks to be sold in the UK more so than states. Anyways, I only see input on the SI really and only a few posts on the other 2 but nothing I can help make decisions from. Im just doing comparisons basically. Their fit, design etc. They are all different.

What do you guys think about them? Give your opinion. I believe without double checking they are all around 100 bucks or less.

Re: Which tailsaver

I've just started to make my own. I wasn't really happy with what's offered already. So I can post up pics when I'm done if anyone's interested to see what I did?

Re: Which tailsaver

my dad has a Plasma Cam machine (robotic Cad Cam table hooked up to plasma cutter) and is able to cut out stuff like this in steel up to an inch thick... if you guys get me some designs we could get them loaded up and cut out with your own logo in the middle or whatever you wanted in them... and we do some custom powder coating too... i'm located in Akron OH

Re: Which tailsaver

^^ yes i found that one last night on SR. That was the one that looked like the uk guys were buyin up.

Anyone got a pic of the DCP one?

PM from RK Armor "75 bucks shipped bare metal or rattle can powdercoated is 10-15 bucks more depending on powder"

On point was a promotional deal at 69.99 + 9.99 shipping, regular 99.99. I dont know what he is selling them for as of right now though.

Sick Innovations are 99.99 and 104.99 for grenade design tailsaver.

Re: Which tailsaver

I love my SI tail saver, it fits great and gives me a solid base to stand on and definitely improved my riding, I don't want to miss it anymore!
Other tail savers seem to be very small but I think it is better to have one large even area to stand on like the SI has it

You could probably email or PM him and get some details on one. The thing I don't like about the DCP saver is it's got like steel wire mesh covering it to give you traction, I guess. I like a flat service with a little grip tape. Just personal choice

Re: Which tailsaver

Rk armor. That **** holds up good, nice clean welds. I live about 5 minutes from his shop, the tail saver/ solo cowl on his bike looks bad ***. If you like the logo cut out in it he can hook you up, Hes got a waterjet. I got a radiator braced up from him, bought a set of rearsets, had some alum. exhaust welded up. He does good, quality work. I would go with ryans tail saver or the solo cowl to.

i already emailed him. earlier if he doent get back to me soon, i'll try a pm.
i have never seen the DCP tailsavers, but if its the only one i can get for my R6/R6S its better than nothing. they make good products, so im sure it will work.
i hope they or someone has them for the R6

yea man im really hoping to get some good close up clear pics of his on the f4i with tail fairing on it. That pic I got from his myspace and its the only pic there with it installed with a tail plastic. It looks like it hugs the tail real tight and follows the shape of it, and from what I can tell the regular tailsaver stops below the seat while the tailsaver/cowl cover goes up to a seat height then into the cowl shape.
