K, now I believe I understand how it lines up and all. But here is something I dont get...

Why are there 7 hex bolts? When on each side of the cage, there only appears to be 3 locations to place bolts, 1 of which connects the bottom together, thus only using 1 bolt...

Tell me what ya think...

Bolts...

In this last picture, the top left is where I meant both sides will connect together using 1 bolt and nut, I think that would use the silver one.

But can you see what I mean? It would seem like I have 2 Hex bolts left over?

 

Alright it wont let me Edit that first post, but I think after some brain power I figured it out. It was a long night of drinking, dont give me ****.

Is this right?

 

didn't come with instructions? my FI took me like 25 minutes to install, because it had (wait for it) instruction....


seriously though, I don't know anything about those cages, all my friends have FI (my 3 stunter friends )

 

Lol nah, no instructions. I mean its not like its a huge brain buster or anything. I just wanna make sure Im putting the right bolts in the right places is all, ya know what im sayin? I have the general idea, once I can confirm I got the bolts in the right places, it shouldnt take to long to slap on.

 

The short nut and bolt connect both cages together at the bottom.

It looks like the rest of those bolts are your main mounts.

That silver object is your slider--once you install the cage you slip those in and tighten the bolt. Then when you drop your bike, the end breaks off and you get really pissed because its stuck inside the cage. So I would'nt even use those-I ended up throwing mine away a long time ago.

Thanks man, finally, the case is solved. By the way, the sliders, they stay in when I tighten em? I assume they just spread apart? Because its not like they bolt onto anything.

 

yea just slip them in and tighten up the bolt.

 

this case is solved.

 

shwew..... you made that wayyy too difficult

i like the madden style picture though, but being a stunter you need to just throw that **** on there and make it work... then sweep the left over parts/bolts into a box and pretend its ok

 

YAH BASICALLY PUT THE cage next to ur bike, like line it up...and w.e bolt fits in the spots with a hole...put it there....u dont really need directions...i kno the bolt for the bottom is short

I'm still waiting for my cage from Powers. I sent my busted cage back to them LAST YEAR. They ignore my phone calls and when i get through they feed me bullshit. Never again.

Its so simple its stupid--they have a 1 year guarantee on their cages. THey either repair or replace. I bought my cage October '04 it busted my stator in Jan '05 and I sent it back to them in Feb '05 right after stuntwars. I even showed him my cage at stuntwars. It lasted 3 MONTHS.

All I gotta say is good luck with their GARBAGE service man.

 

I didnt know htey had a gurantee on them. Talk to ED Legion over on CycleForums. I think he can get through to Matt Powers personally.

Maybe Ed could do something for you?

 

I wish...is he on here?

 

Yeah, go post up in the Legion Forums. He was gonna help me, when I thought Powers forgot about my cage...Took like 3 weeks solid to ship 3 hours, lol.

By the way, I think I got my cage on right...

Cage

Looks good enough.

 

Good luck with that cage looks like its not as bad as the 636 but it still looks like an oil pan buster.....

 

Your probably the first person whose told me Powers is no good. Bad experience with it? Everyoen I talk to that actually uses a Powers cage says nothing but good things.

 

Their new designs look good but their older design (the one you have) is ****! They built the cage to close to the motor.........

My 636 cage would take no more than 2 good hits on the left side before it bent in and touched the oilpan and cracked it.

 

Dude do you have any spots up in DE? Your really not to far from Va Beach--we should link up sometime.

Anyways--here's the reason I sent my Powers back:

Of course I had the old design but oh well. Keep us updated on your cage!
