Like the title states, Has anyone made there own cage. What is the easiest to work with to make one. If someone can make a list on how to do it that would help alot. I was thinking some metal pipes at home depot, I have a welder but no pipe bender

it wont be easy with out a bender its a pain in the ***. in order to make a cage that is worth a **** your gona need to study what you are doing and brace it properly. your best bet is to look at some cages on the market and copy some of the designs. tell you the truth the amount of time you will have in it your better off buying one what bike is it for?

 

[quote=ATOWN1101;3816685]04 gsxr 6.. Yeah I mean I got the cash to buy a new one but dont really fell like spending that much when all I am going to do is trash it any ways. It dont have to look pretty or anything, just as long as it works.

 

What are you going to do when your weak cage fails and actually does more damage than its worth.....FRAMES =$1000

I paid the extra crash and got the sickest cage TYGERSHARK

Y would you want anything less gaurding you Thousands of dollars ( BIKE )

Ive wreaked mine many times and picked it up every time and keep going.

 

call tygershark and order one.

i made a couple last year and gave up shortly after.

nahhh but if you're serious, to get you started:
1. buy 2 inch tubing
2. 2 inch solid pipe and slice off 1/4inch
3. drill the slice with a 1/2 bit(for the engine mount bolt)
4. weld the slice to your tube.

for the rear mount, you can use a square flat plate, or another tubing (i.e. tygershark vs. 905), and then drill another 1/2" hole in there for the rear mount bolts (subframe or where ever you're gonna mount it)

if you don't have a bender, just slide tubings, and weld a million pieces together to get your desired bend.

NOTE: cover the frame and the ENTIRE bike if you're gonna be spot-welding around it...i scuffed mine up pretty good

lastly, good luck

 

[quote=vasponger;3817546]PM son dooby and order an Impaktechthey are $220-$250 WITH sliders and they are diesel strongby the time you make one yourself,the time invested will outweigh the final product,even if it turns out which,believe me, your first one wont

 

get two packs of ten dollar bicycle pegs from walmart for the mounting points on frame and weld solid straight piece of steel beetween them...then if you want to you can connect it under neath the bike totaly up to you my homemade cage has seen summersaults and **** and hasnt bent or moved a lick and ive never broke a case or hurt a thing. homemade cage handled that

 

the cage + the wreck both look SIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK as ****!!

 

[quote=loogie;3817752]ya quoted the wrong guy but +1 on what loogie said ive seen impaktech cages on the GSXR and they look strong as hell. that would be the cage id get. Well until i make one for the GSXR

 

Wow the quotes are all fucked up
