Re: Cage NEWS!
I've had no problems with my FI cage. Two drops and nothing broken. Plus I like the fact that you can take the loop out and hit the twisties. Takes just a couple of minutes. I talked to Tim today and ordered some new tips for the sliders and he was very professional and said they would be shipped out today with no shipping and handling. Gotta love the man!!

Re: Cage NEWS!
Not to slam 905 but. I ordered one for my 01' 929. I cracked my shins everytime I rode. It was even hard to sit at a light in my normal stance. As far as bolting it on I had to grind down a 19mm. socket just to get it in the upper back tube to tighten the bolt down. I have heard that 905 redesigned their cage I'll have to wait and see what it looks like. As far as freestyle I. I have one on my 00'929 I really like it You never even know its there. It looks better than the others. It is easier to get part of it off to work on the clutch side. 4 bolts and it is off. I have never severely dropped my bike yet so I don't know how well it will hold up. Keep in mind nothing is indestructable. What happens to one may not happen to another.I also like the powers.Looks wise. I have not ridden a bike with one on yet but alot of guys around us have them. They seem to be happy with them. Personally if your not learning to 12' I like the freestyle I. I have not seen the new cage yet, I think the old one can flex if you have a hard enough hit. If it is hard enough you might even crack your frame where it is mounted. The thing I do like most about the freestyle cage is the fact if you do f-up your bike It looks to me like it would be easier to take freestyle's cage of better than 905's. If I had to grind down a socket to get it in the tubing when it was new. How would it be if it was bent alittle. Guess what you'd have to cut it off. $250. right down the drain. Do research see which is best for you. Keep in mind the pro's are pro's for a reason. They don't drop there bikes all the time. And if it does fall they know how to save it better. Company's sponsor rider's so people will use what they ride with. I just want to give my honest opinion on my expierences. Keep in mind some people swear by one bike others swear by another. But they all do the same thing!

Re: Cage NEWS!
well I feel like I have been betrayed, before I read this thread I had ordered a cage from Powers. I called 2 weeks ago on a friday. They told me they would be shipped on Monday. I waited till friday no cage. I called friday they told me it would be shipped monday. Half the time you cant get ahold of anyone. Anyways tommorow will be 2 weeks that I have been waiting for my cage. I left messages and never received a courtesy call back to let me know the status of my order. Their customer service SUCKS. I will not promote them in anyway. Everybody buy a freestyle I. Sorry powers burn me once shame on you burn me twice shame on me

Re: Cage NEWS!
Well heres the latest saga with powers. I finally received my cage after ordering 2 weeks waiting when they said it would be shipped one day after I ordered it. After leaving 4 messages and never getting a call back. I went to put the cage on my 929 and the long bolt that goes thru the frame is smaller in diameter that the stock one. The stock one is 1/2" thick ,powers is 3'8" think powers knows more than honda (not!) Second of all those idiots never asked me if I had an aftermarket exhaust on my bike. The cage wont go on. Powers is complete jerk off's. I called the company to tell them about it again during business hours and they never returned my call. If I don't get my refund of $265. I firgure they'll lose alot more from bad publicity. I am one to never make up stories and I always compliment good customer service. Moto-heaven shipped when they said. Freestyle shipped when they said and I already have one of tim's cages. Please think really good before you ever think about buying anything from powers bike worx. They wont return your calls and I'm not sure if you will get a refund.

Re: Cage NEWS!
Well I finally was able to get a hold of powers. I did have to call them. They did pay for shipping back to them since it wouldn't fit. So now I am not as pissed but, I feel they should have know about the fit problem ahead of time. I already ordered my freestyle cage. I was talking to my buddy he had the same problem with a 905 cage on his R1. It seems if you have an aftermarket pipe that moves closer to your oil filter 905 or powers wont fit. I definitely think freestyles is the nicest looking cage. I hope it performs well. So I do have to give powers credit for taking back the cage and crediting my money back. kudos to you. One good piece of advice when customers call and leave a message. Call them back!

Re: Cage NEWS!
well mikkee I bought the bike with an aftermarket pipe. So you think I should buy a stock pipe/silencer and exhaust valve for a stunt bike that I am going to beat up. You also realize people buy cages for other bikes not just stunt bikes. As far as the cages being made off of stock bike yes you are right but they should tell you that when you order a cage. A simple question like "what kinda of pipe do you have" would of saved me 3 weeks of waiting and b.s. . I had a 905 cage on my stock 929 905 never asked me what kinda of pipe I had either when I ordered it. FI cage is my last option. I have a 929 and you crack your shins evertime you ride it. F-that I would rather break a motormount plus the b.s. that you have to go thru to change clutch's. Even putting oil in the bike was a *****. I put this out there so people could be more informed when ordering cages. Ultimately it their decision. If you read my post on 2-17 I talked about all 3 cages. I have had them all. This is just my opinion. take it or leave it. It's still my opinion.
