Just like the title said. I have a 95 YZF 600r, and im looking into building a cage for it. Has anyone ever made their own cage for their Yzf? Are their any guide line to follow when building one, like number of mounting spots and such? I am very handy with a welder and pipe bending, so the building process will be easy.

 

You want the mounting points to be the motor mounts. Those will be the strongest points. Once you get 4 sliders (two on each side of the bike; one front, one back), just connect them. Figure out how the bar will be the least in your way. Trust me, you'll bruise your shins up the first week until you get used to it. I have yet to build a YZF cage, but have built a 954 cage and a GSXR1000 cage. Good luck!

 

my friend made him self a cage on his yzf600r and he ran tubing under the bike like fi cage and he went riding later that day and came close to low siding cause he didn't pay to much attention on how much cage he did and had some ground clearence problems

 

so what mounting points would be best??? i knoe the obvious slider spot, but which other spots????

 

Im going to be mounting them to the motor mounts, I think im going to mount them some where on the frame. Where they will have the least contact with my shines. Then again who knows...... Any one eles have any suggestions??

 

see if you can find some pictures of caged yzfs, when I had the 1000 it was impossible, but im sure there are some out there. Check out www.yzf600r.com

P.s. I might be getting a bike soon so i can ride with you guys

 

You Can Try Bubble Wrap. L O L What Spped2dirt Said. Also Make Sure You Use A Hard Enough Washer When You Weld To The End Of Your Pipe, To Prevent It From Bending When You Do Lay It Down.

 

use the washers where???

 

On The End Of The Pipe Were It Connects To The Engine Mount. The Part Were The Bolt Actually Goes Through.

 

Washers are easier and light. I actually used nuts and ground them until they were round and fit in the pipe. Then just drill the threads until the bolt barely fits through. The tighter, the better. You don't really want any play in the bolt.

Thanks SWAT. The bubblewrap idea is genius! When the bike goes down, you can have all the popping fun. haha!

 

I found a way to mount the cage to the frame, ill post pics later to show you guys what im doing.


Let me know when you get a bike, we can go hit the streets.
