im thinking of getin a sub cage but herd that the subframe can break, what do u think

 

anything can break if you beat it hard..re-inforce your subframe. thats about half a stupid ?

 

I don't think they are a good idea.. all that added weight to the rear end of the bike makes wheelies a bitch. every pro runs them only to keep their sponsors happy.

 

It makes wheelies really difficult..... wasnt there just a post on this yesterday or the day before??????

 

i just wrote a page long thing about omr's subcages, but my computer crashed.


but anyways to make it short, get a omr cage. Your break your subframe from something else before the subcage does

 

got a sick sub cage on my 04 636... I like it so far.

 

nate you drinking again ?

or did i miss the sarcasm ?

 

if you get a subcage with folding pegs like an omr subcage it will actually make your subframe stronger because it ties the two sides of the subframe together...

solid peg subcages on the other hand do more damage then good in my opinion because the solid peg gives too much leverage in a crash and tends to bend or break your subframe and subcage ..

people make and sell solid peg subcages because they are easier to make not because they are better ..

 

i've checked them all out, and the OMR subcage w/ the ESD peg's seems like the best way to go. heard nothing but good thing's bout that setup.

 

now i just gota get the money so i can order mine

 

i like the esd pegs but they are a bit pricey and the stock pegs work awesome when they are mounted to a solid subcage that doesn't flex

 

go with stuntaid.... u cant go wrong

imo............. omr if you want foldable, sick if you want fixed.

or just if your just worried about your subframe breaking, then re-inforce it. there still are plenty of ways to F-up and break a stock sub frame with the sub-cage installed.

 

below is a picture of an f4i subframe that had a solid peg subcage on it , the solid pegs dont fold up in a crash and thats not good for your subframe ...

if you look close you can see that the solid peg subcage ripped the mounting tabs right off the subframe and the f4i subframe is one of the stronger subframes out there ...

a subcage with folding pegs allow the pegs to fold up in a crash and places no extra stress on the subframe ....

 

Sounds great in theory, but for my bike at least the pegs never fold up in a crash...They stay folded out and are would be the exact same as non folding pegs...

I still prefer folding, but for crashing it wouldnt make a difference on my bike

 

i think if he's worried about breaking stuff, he's in the wrong sport

 

here is two more reasons to get a subcage , in the first picture you can see the peg bracket is bent but if you look close you can see the mounting tabs on the subframe are also bent in so even if you got a new stock peg bracket your peg would still be aiming down and that cause your foot to slide off the peg ..

the cross bar on my omr subcages tie the two side together and make the mounting tab alot stronger not to mention that if your tabs are already bent in bolting on a subcage will pull the tabs back into place ...





it's obvious what happened in this picture but imagine if you cracked your stock aluminum peg bracket in a crash but didn't notice till you put all your wieght on the peg while doing a fast combo or some thing like that ..

the tabs that hold the pegs on an omr subcage are solid steel and much stronger then aluminum



and now back to your regular scheduled programing ...lol

 

there are four local riders around here that have solid peg subcages and all yes all of them have a bent subcage and a bent subframe from the solid pegs hitting the ground ...

every time i go some where else to ride i always see bent solid peg subcages ..

and the post you quoted has a picture of a broken subframe caused buy a solid peg subframe so thats not ''theory'' thats fact

 

can u send me the blueprints to OMR subcages so I can make one for my R1 LOL LOL LOL

 

no i want you to come to florida for a vacation and i will build you one
