Anyone interested in ordering some of these? They provide 10x more protection than regular sliders, but aren't as bulky as cages, so they don't get in the way through the twisties. Still working on pricing with Frank, but he is trying to hook us up with a pretty god deal if we get a bunch sold. Here is a link for the GSXR 600 railz, but can be ordered for almost any make/model!!!! Post up if interested!

Haven't ridden in a while
Just ask around about the shipping & handling times that has gotten a bad name for Powers. This may save you guys a lot of time!

also keep in mind things should change with powers cause they did just find a new powder coater.

Also keep in mind a version of race railz is going to made here locally in the very near future. I am hoping to be in production sometime in April.

Their turn around on the rails isn't so bad cause they make a lot of themOriginally Posted by Reckless01
It's when you order something like a cage or 12 bar that they don't make all the time and pretty much do when it's ordered is retarded..
It's bad to the point I would never do business with them again and would tell anybody else to avoid them if at all possible. 4 months for cage and 12 bar is outrageous I don't care how small the shop is. I had 2 custom made subframes and fairing stay made and shipped from Canada in less then 4 weeks. Their customer service completely sucks.

Okay here's the deal with Powers Stuntworx....
It's a company that's ran by a guy who is an engineer full time, Powers Stuntworx part-time. Getting a hold of them is difficult at times because of their "variable hours". They do keep busy and they make an AWESOME product, so it's these little issues we deal with to get something we really want
The delays with their production have only been for the last few months, because they outsource their powdercoating. Recently, their powdercoater took on a contract with Hershey, which put Powers in the "back seat" of their work load. Powers has sourced a new powdercoater just recently, so they are beginning to catch up.
Pure Acceleration has been waiting for quite a number of orders to be filles, and they have began coming in, which is awesome.
In the end, it comes down to application versus stock.
For example, PoorBoyBrian's race railz for his 1998 F4 came in very quickly because they happened to be in stock. However, I have had a guy waiting on 06 R6 race railz for about 3 months. I have another guy waiting on 04-05 GSXR railz for 2 months. But again, Powers is catching up finally. So hopefully they will be back to their regular 1-2 week turn around shortly, regardless of model.
I'd love to set up a group buy on them, it just depends on how Mr. Powers himself wants to handle it, if he'll even consider giving us a discount for quantity ordered. He may or may not!
But if we can get like $30 off per set depending on quantity, that would be flippin awesome, as it would bring the price of Race Railz very close to what a decent set of frame sliders cost.
RANDY man get crankin! I wanna see what you got in store. I know you don't ride so you got the free time, so get your ass to work bahahahahah

I was reading through some other forums last night and found a post for this same group buy. In the end, they got 18 ppl to buy in and got them shipped for $118 a pair.. Hopefully we can do the same!

I just put a set on my 08 gix 600. Aside from the protection they offer i didnt have to cut fairings whcih i was extemely happy about. With regular frame slider i would of had to cut. I had them installed in about 15-20 min. I also perfer theses over offset no cut frame sliders.

you make them and ill put them on the race bike if it is allowed that way you get your name out on them...
Moto GP Racer
Allowed? Where would they not be allowed?
I had an over abundance of bodywork/bikes to get ready so I had to put the railz on the back burner. Nearly all the bikes are complete and work will begin in the next few days on the railz.
