less leverage when it falls. cut it down to the welds and re-drill a hole for teh slider. i actually made that slider from a 1' piece of delrin i bought from mcmaster carr for $9. but you need a milling machine with a rotary table (liek i have) or a lathe

peace ****ers! :YEAH

 

do you personally have a mill or are you just a machinist? im a mahcinist and work on mills with 4th n 5th axis's. id love to buy one but the things aint cheap and i have no idea how to use a bridgeport. but either way i have a 905 cage so its not an issue

 

Nice--great tip--will a hacksaw work?--Triple chromoly right?

 

not a good idea it defeats teh purpose...the fi cage has sliders to keep it from rolling up , but in turn they bend sumtimes...a 905 type cage rolls up but it wont bend or damage teh motor mounts....so kno u have a cage thatll will roll up ans still possibly bend.....so so rain on ur paraade, but eld that peice back on

 

I think he cut it down shorter so it wont roll up as easy--shorter stalk=less leverage at point of impact to pull or bend the mount--am I correct?

 

all i have to say is the 905 is like 40 times more beefier than the FI and im not worried about it bending any time soon

 

thats funny cuz i was thinkin bout doing the exact opisite puting a peice of pipe on the end that is longer and much wider close to 2inch in diameter i think it would help it from rolling over even more.... but let us know how it worx the first few falls im curious

 

yea i'd like to know how the bike reacts on falls with it cut like that too....

 

wait till ucrash

 

i have, everything fine execpt my damn brake lever, got damn thing rolled right up on the upper

 

My 905 bent to hell. Saved the bike great. But just wait until you have to take it off the bike....
