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.

Couple others put it up, but subframe, all about subframe, extra props to the kids on the 636s that do it, makes the F4i subframe look like a stock FI 12 bar.

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!
