Has anybody actually gone to the warehouse in Elizabethtown, PA? I'd like to purchase my cage and bar directly from them and pick it up right then and there...anybody?

It would also be nice to get some tips from the actual builders on install setup/etc....

 

Alvin, just call Helio or Sue, 717-653-9100. Me and freaky from A.R. have bought many products from them. I assure you you will not have a problem with anything and they will walk you through everything you need to know
Good Luck!

Yep. They will def take care of you. Friendly People. I hate being on the phone and they made me enjoy it for once.

 

ill go.. how much u wanna pay me??

 

I'll be up that way on Monday and would like to actually stop there to pick up a cage and bar myself in person---well--I'll try to call them to get their "store hours"...

 

Does ANYBODY know if I can just stop by on Monday and buy a cage and bar from them in person???---Powers is closed this weekend and they are'nt answering their phones--someone help!!!

 

their hours are from 9-5pm...if you call at 5:01 or on the weekend you are not going to get a response. just use mapquest for directions and have at it.

 

awesome-thanks-now do you know if they have cages and bars you can just pick up?

 

come on-I know somebody out there has actually been there

 

are bike stored up there open on mondays?

 

Well dammit-Its sunday night and I'm driving to PA Monday morning early. I'll call them at 9 am I guess. Hopefully they're cool and let me stop by.

 

i would call to make sure they have your cage and bar made before you waste a trip. They are awesome people to deal with and just may have your stuff but call just in case. :YEAH

 

alright-well i'll let you guys know what happens.....

 

Yeh good luck, There customer service blows I don't know how you all can say any differnt. I would say it took 15 calls (during buisness hours) to get in touch of sombody there. Finally they answered the phone and turned out to have 2 of the three cages instock, no big deal so we thought so we paid for all three cages over the phone and headed to their shop to pick the 2 available ones up (about 2.5 hours from us) All went fairly well so we left their little garage style weld shop and headed home to throw them on. Well one cage went right on but the other that was going on a R1 had to be cut and re-welded and thats not because the bike was tweeked it was from a bad jig that they used to make the cage. Ok so now them two are on and we wait almost a full month for our third cage to arive, during this time calling at least once a week and always hearing it's on the way to you (rember 2.5 hours away). They wern't on the way at all they were just dicking around for at least three weeks before my cage was built. How long should it take to build a cage for a buisness that specializes in this, keep in mind this is not a huge buisness to be in I figure they sell at the most 75 cages a month and I'm willing to bet that's way on the high side. Well I'm done telling you all about the poor sides of them and I will say that they do make a hell of a cage when it is right but they do lack bad with customer service. My next cage if not "homemade" will be a 905 without a question. Later on.......jk www.theuprightsstuntteam.com

 

sucks for you. your the very 1st person i have heard of that is unhappy with powers. They do make a hell of a cage and if you ask me or anyone i know their customer service couldn't of been better.

 

Ive been over there and Matt Powers r&d my cage for my 04 R1 and put it on my bike they are cool as hell and ther cages look the best and from what I hear are tough as hell! It was a 3 hour drive from my house but there customer service rocks!!

 

Okay guys-I went to the Powers shop yesterday. It was a bitch to find in the middle of the sticks-but when I finally found it, they had my cage and 12 bar waiting for me. Got to bullshit with Matt and a few others--really cool down to earth guys. They explained how to install it and everything.

So I got home and began the cage install. The rear bolt would'nt go in because from the looks of it, the rear tab was tweaked---bad weld/jig??--WEll-I called Powers up and they told me that in the powdercoating process, they "tumble" the pieces in the sanding process which puts stress on some of the tabs and tweakes them a bit. They told me to use a screwdriver to pry the tab straight. SO, I tried the screwdriver and it did'nt work. I then used a 1/2" breaker bar and it bend that sonofabitch straight like warm butter. I finished snugging up all of the bolts after getting my socket stuck in a few of those damn deep holes and now its just pimp. Tipped the bike over to test-and it works like a charm-but the real test will come soon. Their service was excellent and I had no problems getting ahold of them. Definitly do business with them again. If anybody ever needs to drive there, call first and they will help you out to the fullest extent. Later.

 

good deal.....now you just need to get some of those 3"extended sliders from em. They are the shizzle.

 

R1 alvin, i have teh EXACT same complaints as you

on my 954, the right side tab was supposedly bent in powedercoating, BS!!! its a nice cage but dont lie to a fabricator (me) and tell me powedercoating tweaks iut, powdercoating is sprayed and baked at a measily 400 degrees, that aint tweaking no metal of this gauge , anyone who believes that is a fool. i got my socket stuck a few times, rear bolt was a royal PITA, i had to literally drop teh bike to get teh socket out and test teh cage hahaha, its a nice cage, but the jig tehy use sucks ***, i already put teh cage to use, its proven, but 2 things


get a good jig powers

and knock it off with the "powdercoating excuse" for tweaking teh tabs, other than that im satisfied, i REALLY love how teh FI cage looks in person, oh my god its so pretty, but i cnat stand all teh cracked motor mount stories

 

Pics-Cage is on--bar is in the fitment process now. I need someone to help me lift the bike onto the tail-
