2QK4U2C -> 12 o'clock bar installation help (1/4/2008 8:47:36 AM)

I have a Powers Stuntworx 12 o'clock bar for my 2000 CBR F4 that I need installed and can't find good instructions anywhere...I DO NOT want it to look like this (just cut the whole back of the plastics off):

I want to cut 2 holes on both sides of the back of the plastics to slide the 12 bar thru...The problem is that when I take the back plastics off to put the 12 bar on there is not enough room to put all the clamps (that's what they give to hold the bar onto the frame...there is no drilling of the frame) on.  Does anyone have any suggestions that don't include completely butchering my bike like the above pic?
Here's a pic w/ the clamps on so you can get an idea of what they look like:  [image]http://www.powersstuntworx.com/photogallery/photo32376/IMG_3852.JPG[/image]

If the bar went all the way down the frame like I think it should this wouldn't be a problem...but it will only go half way in order to allow enough clearance to clear the back plastics...heres a pic...notice how this bar goes all the way down the frame...mine will only go HALF WAY down:

ok i called Powers and they said that for my model bike i have to cut the tail and move the tail light...which i REALLY REALLY DON'T wanna do...im gonna see if i can figure something else out...do any of you guys know of another 12 o'clock bar that WON'T make me lob off the entire back of my tail end? (I don't mind cutting slits in it to put the bar thru obviously...also, I am not willing to drill my subframe)....

any suggestions will help!  thanks.

Get a used tail section that you can cut up and make fit and keep the stock tail section nice and safe in the garage.

wasnt able to figure anything out...im returning it...

does anyone know of a 12 bar for a 2000 F4 that i wont have to drill the subframe or completely **** my rear plastics up?  I dont mind cutting slits into it...I just don't wanna have to cut the whole back off or nething....

It's a stunt bike right? It's going to see alot worse than what you have to do to install it. Get an L.E.D. tail light from h.a.i and it'll still be clean.

I will not chop off the rear of my bike!  Any other suggestions?...what about fabricating one myself?...

You are not mechanically inclined at all huh?

If your so worried about your bike then dont look into stunting it.  Your just wasting your time.  Your bike is gonna get dropped alot stunting.  Thats part of learning.  And if your not dropping it your not trying hard enough.  Get a round bar for the tail.  SI makes a nice one and it will just barely stick through the tail and will look almost look stock.  And you are gonna have to drill your subframe.  Its not gonna hurt anything to put a couple holese in it.  It will hold up fine unless u gorilla slam it into the ground.  But if your ognna do that you arent ready for a 12 bar.  You should learn to ride idle and get your rear brake control down before you get a 12 bar.
