I was thining about putting race rails on my 06 1000rr if anybody has done this please let me know if they are worth the look and what all hass to be done (i.e. Cutting fairings)
Thanks Noah

 

I am eventually going to put on a race rail. I have some no cuts sliders on right now, but I dont think they'll be of much use in a real riding situation. I think if I drop it in garage, they'll be ok, but anything, they'll do more damage than not.

Freestyle Ingenuity are pretty much the norm, but I kinda like the look of the Militant Moto also, but dont know anyone who has that set so no idea how they are

 

Yeah i had a pair of no cut with the bracket that looks like a drop of water and when i crashed it bent in and caused a 10 inch crack in my engine case and had a hugh chunk out of the case also they DID do more harm than good to the engine but my frame is still in great condition just had to shell out $1300 for a used engine not to mention all new fairings, new rearsets, 1 handle bar, and other misc stuff lol

I have race rails and really like them. If your tall they could hit your shins on occassion but i'm 6'2" and it's rarely a problem. You do have to cut the fairings to mount them but they are legit. I cut my holes out like stars and it looks sick. The no cuts are garbage! I light drop could bend engine mount bolts or break them completely due to the design.

 

I'm getting em in a couple weeks. I think they look pretty good, most people don't like the look. A LOT more protection than normal sliders, and that's what it's all about. And you can throw your legs up on em cruiser style on longer rides.

 

Maybe I'll CC a set then.... dont wanna drop it now. lol. What are those in the pic ^? Look nice

 

Those are the Powers race rails. Those are the ones I have but they take forever to ship.

 

Good point about shins... hmm... I'm 6'4"..... might have to look into that more

 

I have the Vortex adjustable rear sets so ill let you know if they do hit and if I can adjust the rear sets to five it. PS i had the no cuts when i dumped my 06 1krr and it trashed the engine case I had to get a new engine and NO it wasn't cheaper than buying another bike but they did protect the frame lol
