So I had an FI cage, 2 905's and I am no means the best stunt riders out there, but I try just as hard as everyone else. So I designed my own cage.

1. Stripped Motor Mounts Blow
Solution: Don;t have it stick out so far
Add 400lb die springs under the delrin tips to take the 1st hit
Then the cage can absorb the rest of the impact.

2. Tweaked cage , the only way to get it off is saw it off.
Solution: Run Flat mounting plates. So if it does tweak you still have
effortless access to remove the cage.

So here is my prototype. Not yet perfect, but I am proud of the work and would like to share it w. you guys.

 

Here's the pics

 

Part 2 Of Pics

 

Nice design man. Yeah my 905 is bent so I have to cut it off if I want it to get off. Aaron said he'd fix it for free if I sent it in once I cut it off.

 

Thanks for the props

 

yup my 905 is bent on my 954, gonna leave it on till its really ****ed cuz only way to take it off right now is Saw and well i dun got the cash for another lol

 

Want me to make you one???

PM me if your interested, them delrin w 400lb springs kick ****.

 

this is how my 905 looked like when bented. ..

 

looks good man I was always a fan of the flat mounting plates design.
hook me up with one for my 954 and f4i

 

i got a 929. you selling those things? giving em away with a t-shirt? whats the deal here?

 

looks really nice, must have some good welding talent. I couldn't weld coat hangers together

 

If you can get a few more guys w, 929/954 that wants these cages. I'll get them made up for you guys.

 

I would be interested in a cage.
I sent you a PM

 

ppl are talkin about FI and 905 tweakin bad and havin to cut them apart. What do MXD's cages do? same thing, have to be cut off?

the 400lb springs are a good idea. Squidmark has been talkin aout wanting to make a cage for our F2's. Since i dont have one yet the first one would probably go on my bike. Im stealin your idea bahahahahhaa lol. J/k

Squid mentioned the flat mout points to me today. The other thing he said is that it would make putting this cage on full fairing bikes difficult (bummer) cause its an good idea.

 

Interested for my 954..sent you a Pm

 

FI cages have individual components that can be replaced in the event of tweakage (sliders, chromoly loop, braces that go to subframe...all are replaceable). I've been rocking the chromoly cage for awhile and it's freakin great. No cage is indestructable. All will fail after enough crashes! And something is definately better then nothing. ....but, it's way better then back in the day when there wasn't cages and when you did crash, you were going home with a busted cover! Your design looks good though. Let us know how it holds up.

that subframe mount where the cage bolt goes into will not hold all the abuse.

i would re direct the cage rear mount somewhere along with the flat plate.

ive seen those snap off real easy with 12 bars ...and now with a bar you have a cage mounted to it..

too much load for a small piece of aluminum.

great cage overall tho.

 

hey bae nice design, thanks for callin me back with the prototype model

 

im interested in how you got the spring operates? i have had a few ideas on how to do it, but never actually did it.


care to explain it more? (im not tryin to steal your idea)
if you dont want to post it here you can pm me.
i might be able to help alittle.

or just tell me to **** off.


if you get one for a f4i, ill test it for you

 

[qoute]What do MXD's cages do? same thing, have to be cut off?

ive had my mxd cage for a few monthes.
pancaked a few stoppies, a couple bail outs on seat standers and the cage is as straight as when i got it. (i know cause i just took it out to paint my bike)
