g'day guys,

i bought a MXD cage for my 2001 gsxr some months ago.

when i finally got round to fitting the cage it wouldn't fit. the left side either of the mounts would line up and the right wasn't much better.
i need took it to the local mech who said it won't fit either.

i contacted Jeff at MXD who basically said theres no way the cage couldn't fit because its made on the bike, and to send it in, and IF it doesn't fit their bike i will get the postage refunded and a new cage sent out.

okay that sounds fine, first problem is i'm in australia, so sending the cage back will cost me a lot of money. i decided i would take photos of me trying to fit the cage and send them to Jeff (at the same time asking for their return address)...

he hasn't responded to the pm i sent him here, and his email address has bounced back each time i try send one.

anyone bought anything off MXD lately? are they still in business or have i been left with a $280 piece of useless metal?

here are the photos...

can someone please help me...

 

looks like a 750 cage... they are different

 

Dude, it's barely off??????? Dont think your tryin hard enough. The 905 i had was WAY more off than that..... Make it work!!!

 

shoulda bought a F I !!!!

 

unless i bend them they aint gona fit

 

Just get the threads started, and GIT-R-DONE!!!!!

 

dude i seriously can't get them started at all.. its bullshit.. shouldn't be like that

 

ive had this happen as well with a different cage. Rubber mallet and cinder block.

 

ding ding ding! contact info is in my sig!

 

Remind me never to buy a MXD if thats how you have to install. Whats there company moto? " Just make it close enough to bang it in place"


I can see all your friends down under saying" Man how your cage get all bent up like that, did you wreck hard"? Then you say "No thats what I had to do to install it".

 

It does look like a 750 cage.

 

i didnt say MXD, i said a different cage as in different company

 

i sent you a pm saying to send it back. i will pay the shipping & send you another cage. i said if it did fit then you pay shipping & i will send the cage back. but im not going to send you an extra cage without having the other one here. my email is jrirwin@inlandtruss.com it looks like a 04-05 cage. but either way, i still want that cage back before i send you a new one.

Here is a Good Business and that goes a LONG WAY........Props to you>>>>

 

that cage will probably work it looks like you need to start all the bolts then tighten all of them down. try a little harder

 

+1
just like 905 or any other cage u have to start each mounting bolt just a little, line it up, start the other bolts and then tighten all the way, try that because i doubt that cage is even off, just needs to be lined up correctly

 

i had the same problem i used a large pipe to pry on it to line it up, if your going to be a stunter you better learn now how to bend **** around, +1 on the fi cage

 

My powers cage was way more off then that its a fukin cage hammer that **** its going to bend if you ride your bike the right way anyways.

 

You shouldn't have to fvck with it, there are too many things to bend and smash already.. My FI cage went on my '00 gsxr like butter, they're so tight they go for walks in the park and snuggle at movies.
