Re: how many of you have scraped tail??
Scraping tail was alot more fun with stock tail..
But I really have to say the angle don't feel like **** when you have been doing over 90 degree scraping with a dirtbike..
The thing is with sportsbikes that the balancepoint is at about 70 degrees so you don't have to do even a 20 degree lean back from the balancepoint to scrape tail..
On a dirtbike the balancepoint is like 45 degrees and you have to go another 45 back to do a 90 degree scrape.. feels crazy
heres a picture from me scraping the tail on my dirtbike and that's nothing.. I used to scrape so hard the plastics bent, the subframe bent and so on

, but i shifted in a wheelie and it cracked the tail cause i gave it to much throttle when i shifted, so now it just bends instead of grinding down.

Re: how many of you have scraped tail??
my 905 internal bar is long! my sub frame was scraped down at least a half inch and the bar still sticks out past the tail 1/8 an inch i wanted it to be top secret 007 style but whateves! the first time i scraped was this summer and i thought i was the man for like a week!
