Re: custom cage

Looks fairly good to me. Not as TANK as my custom cage, but looks lighter and easier to mount as well.

nothing wrong with a custom cage.. But for a popular bike like a 600rr, I'd just buy a production cage.....

I'd only go custom if either there aren't many options for your bike, or if you have your own tools to do it GOOD for real cheap...
thats what i did. i got a race rail, with an extra bar. solid as ****.. for free.

Re: custom cage

A lot of people are running custom cages... including me. So is it really being different?

Just make sure you study the design of good cages so you don't make a ashitty one that snaps your frame or motor mounts

Re: custom cage

I'm still wondering if this mount is bolted up, and if so, how

IMO if it's not bolted, then that extra support is completely worthless, and you pretty much just have sliders on the bike linking each side together.. Couple good drops and good by motor mounts
If it is bolted up, then you should be good to go, should be a decent little cage

Re: custom cage

when i asked him about how to take the cage off i believe he said i have to remove the pinch bolts and it will slide out so im assuming its either welded or bolted some how to be honest idk thats what he said though i didnt try to take it off to find out exactly its on there though i got a few up close pics of that area but i dont if u can tell how its on.. cuz i cant to b honest lol... ill post the up close pics if you want

Re: custom cage

i had roman make me a cage of my 05 rr it is better then any cage on the market for sure and run the sliders that way if it does fall it wont bend the piping in. they take abuse for sure. you dont need a bunch of bars to protect your bike all you need is quality workmanship
