SI cage is pissin me off ! ! !
Re: SI cage is pissin me off ! ! !
ok so, so far the things i had to figure out on my own are that the stock thread rod gets removed and replaced with the aftermarket one, i still have no clue where the spacers go because it mounts just fine without them, and some instructions maybe for where to cut the plastics with illustrations, like right above the i and right below the h. and all the steel tubing in general should be a little bit more diameter so my socket doesnt get stuck inside and a bitch to get it out. a handbrake isnt too hard to figure out, but hmm, i bought a full throttle handbrake and it came with instructions. extremely detailed ones at that. i've had nothing but problems with my freestyle ingenuity cage but it came with detailed instructions.
brake pads are cake, everybody knows how to change those.
i'm not insulting sickinnovations in any way, i'm just pointing a few things that must be addressed. i've heard nothing but good things about these cages and thats the reason i bought it.
chicken brocolli and cheese, mmmm.....

I've installed 3 different cages on 3 different bikes and never once looked at the instructions. I may be more mechanically inclined, I don't know. Also, take note of where you motor mount it....prolly where you're gonna cut the side fairing on most cages (not always true with powers cages). I can take a straight line fromt he front of the bike and see the motor mount....thats how high the hole is, pull the fairing back about an inch or so and look down behind it....that how far back it goes....make an X where they intersect....cut there.....tada!
I understand people like clean cut instructions, mostly because people don't like to think for themselves. People who do think for themselves get the backlash or criticism after they originate and come up with somin. Ian is a thinker and came up with his design, tested it, modified it, made it better....I'm sure eventually he'll have instructions to go with the cages or on his site. Just amazes me that a STUNT cage for a STUNT bike, that people are goin to be breaking and constantly repairing, is expected to have the same instructions as the toy you assemble for your kids on christmas.

SERIOUSLY... put the spacers on or your gonna **** up your frame.... they both go on the left side.... notice how your cage slides all the way up to the mount holes on the right side(due to the motor mount adjustments) but on the left side its pushin against the frame NOT all they against the flat spot of the motor mounts.... put em on before you bend up your frame or tear a bolt outa the motor

keep in mind Ian is a phone call or e-mail away....when I've talked to him he was really helpful.
seriously though, instructions on simple things (maybe more simple than cages) are like the "Warning: Hot" symbols on the side of coffee cups.....they are there for those who are a lil "de de de" (there should seriously be a retarded smiley! haha).

Just some info. I was the only one running this business for a long time. I still work 12+ hrs 6-7 days a week. We are working on installation instructions, but its very time consuming. i need all different styles of bikes to get detailed pictures, which i do not have. All Hot pockets
, or handbrakes are installed the same. Our cages come with different hardware, spacers, and not one cage is universal. It is taking a very long trime for us to get the instructions lined out and still keep orders going oput in a timely fashion. These kind of threads can simply be avoided if people would either call or email me instead of starting a thread like this. Thats a simple solution. If you still have questions, call me. 812 453 2854 and i could answer any question you have.
By the way, your spacers go on the left side. Id highly recommend using them.

Re: SI cage is pissin me off ! ! !
SI is almost IMPOSSIBLE to bend or break... hence, no need to replace ANYTHING.
And once again... the FI may protect the engine... but the SI will protect the entire bike, clip ons, tank, levers, controls, ect. It's almost impossible to roll the bike over.
Farley... I feel like buying you an SI cage just so you can see what you're missin out on.
AND FOR PEEPS LOSING SOCKETS... use snap-on thin wall sockets or just use a craftsman 9/16, 1/4in socket/rachet.... it's got a thinner wall than the 3/8ths and slips right outta the cage w/ no problems.
