Re: Custom Cage Extenders.. pics
and the other thing i just noticed with the revised slider is that none of your cage is touching the ground so you will be putting all that blunt force on one point of impact...now im no physics professor but i know that
400lbs slamming down onto 1sq. in. + Gix frame = bad news

yeah.. i was thinking about that when i was building it too which is why i wanted to throw some pics up and get a couple opinions... i think the length is perfect now.. i will post up pics.. when i lay it down it lays on the bottom of the cage and the slider and it looks like if i had some nice axle sliders it would be ready to be dropped.. thanks a lot for the tips i'll have pics up shortly

Re: Custom Cage Extenders.. pics
if i had 3" axle sliders on you can see in the last pic the axle sliders would touch too.. so that would be the top of the cage.. bottom and axle for contact points...
does this look pretty good length wise?

haha yeah.. they looked pretty wicked in the beginning but i think they turned out pretty damn good for 20 dollar frame sliders and scrap metal.. i'm gettin my bike prepped before i stunt it.. only thing left to buy is axle sliders.. which i will be ordering today

Re: Custom Cage Extenders.. pics
yea, its good ****. they turned out pretty good. My buddy has an 04 gixer hes gonna stunt... were both kind pressed for cash, so he got a 120 905 cage from craigslist....
then 20 bucks at home depot, and a little mig welding...
were renforcing it with a lateral bar, making sliders kinda like yours, and re enforcing all the welds...
but all in all good **** man
