Anyone have any ideas of how to protect the rear tail light and grab bar when doin cat walks and landin back on it?...already busted the tailight and dont want to get a new one until i know it wont happen again...thnx

 

dont hit the back grab bar[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] when i put my warrior back on its grab bar i never had any trouble with breaking the tailight just scuffed up my grab bar...a way to protect it...put some lil wheels back there LOL

 

lol yea i was thinkin bout attachin some skateboard wheels back there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

i havn't had any probs.. but then again.. i snapped my stock one in half.. and took my rail light off along time b4 that... also.. if u do a catwalk and fall back.. you shouldn't be doing catwalks...

 

i wouldnt say that if you fall on the grab bar your shouldnt be doing wheelies. well maybe if you do that often. one way to stop from breaking the tail light is to take the bulbs out and...hmmm, how do i say this, drill holes in the plastic (you get to this area by removing the seat). its like a cargo compartment. my uncle did it with his yfz but you have to tahe the bulb(s) out and lose the red plastic cover. he also added some LED lights and it looks nice. the bulbs are further away from danger but still a bit unprotected i think. at least you wouldnt have to worry about hitting the grab bar and breaking your tail light.

 

no^^ i said doing a catwalk....

 

wtf is a cat walk?
shane

 

Good question, a catwalk? Just when u have both feet or one foot in the grab bar, and go real slow like strait up and down but not hitting the grab bar? If thats what it is, and your going real slow like, and it starts to go too far back, put a foot out and push off the ground. or put ur right foot on the peg, and left foot in the grab bar so u can hit the back brake. If thats not a catwalk though, i dunno what your asking, just use the back brake.

 

a catwalk is when u go through the gears while in a wheelie...

 

lol, ok then just hover the rear brake pedal. After powershifting a while, its just as easy to use the clutch when shifting in a wheelie, and seems to keep the chain tighter over time instead of not using the clutch. if its going back too far, relax, let off the gas, and if decompression doesnt slow you down and bring down the front end a little (it usually does in high rpm, sometimes) just tap the brake pedal and down it comes. When u panic is when you freeze, when you freeze you go back and drag the bar[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img], so relax and think quick.
