Best Cage Choise
 

What do you guys think is the best cage out there...:yeah:LOL

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

Atown customs if you buy anything else youre just fucking yourself.

my order of preference
atown
impakteck
SI
TS
FI
905
and powers shouldnt even be on that list

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

lol... whats a link to atown customs cages? lol what to check them out

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

just curious... what is wrong with Powers? I ran their race railz on the 636 for a while and they seemed OK. my f4i had a powers cage on it when I bought it. I've been beatin the ever loving shit out of my bike for 3 months now and it's taken plenty of abuse just fine.

whats right with powers? theyre too bulky, they have clearance issues with drifting. they mount underneath the plastics so they can/will bottom out when dropping wheelies hard. they mount flush to the weak part of the frame so they can dent and brake frames especially ive seen on gsxr's and 600rr's. theyre ugly. and on top of all that powers as a company is a huge piece of shit. matt powers and his wife are douchebags and will threaten to sue you after they fail to send you the cage and you complain about it....etc etc. some ppl will have good luck with any cage, i had good luck with my 905 cage back in the day but fact remains its an inferior cage to what else is out there.

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

Bent 905, broke fi, love si, tygershark is awsome but really heavy. Soooo ill say si, most def with the delron sliders

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

agree about the 905 being heavy ... i have it on my 600rr and is fucking madd heavy.... thinking of switching to S.I

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

if you get anything but an a-town customs cage then you are plain dumb i will never own another bike that doesnt have an a-town on it

recently bolted one up to my 636. I like it well enough. havent ridden the bike with it on yet though. is it a bitch to run FF on a 636 with an SI cage?

also... who makes a strong upper stay and/or any other beefy parts to run FF?

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

wouldnt know about running FF .. my bikes a streetfighter 600rr... lmao

advertising? no, i dont work for atown but i did get one of his cages and then my bike got hit by another bike at 40mph and the only thing that got broke was a 3 inch piece of plastic on my upper after being sent down the street tanlged with another bike i think thats pretty fucking amazing. i support legit products and atown is the best cage ive ever run. im not mad a SI i like them too but atown is way easier to take off and put on as well as comes with sliders and is a stronger cage than SI. tygershark are also well made cages but for 375 dollars shipped id much rather pay the 250ish for the atown thats just as strong if not stronger.

you shouldnt have a proble running ff with any cage.... ive only ever had ff bikes and no issues with any cage. umm if you can get a johnnp stay those are the best on the market but pricey as shit. c4 revolotions makes a decent stay...the 905 stays that ive seen look like shit.

:yeahright on. thanks for the info mang. :cheers

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

either a-town and impaktek Id say

whatever happened to mxd? thats what #2 has and its taken a beating, but it is bulky as hell though.

My 905 stay is a piece of shit. It didn't mount up like I'd hoped. It is not straight and I had to modify it to run my STOCK damper

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

[URL="http://www.myspace.com/impaktech"]www.myspace.com/impaktech[/URL] best cage on the market IMO:2cents

I put a Damage Control stay on my f4i and after some really hard drops the upper and headlight are still solid. The Johnny P stay is really nice as well but more expensive.

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

impaktechs look alright... dont like that double slider looking shit... especially on the honda models...:cheers:shruggs:LOL

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

This is what I thank If your new and will be dropping your bike a lot you should go with a bigger cage like Powers or Tiger shark or that new impack thing. If your getting better and you dont want all that extra steel hitting your legs It is time to get a FI cage the FI cage holds up vary well but it will still not handle a lot a big drops. But I you dont drop your bike ever min I love the FI it is out of the way and still dose its job.

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

newb question? what does a springloaded tiger shark cage do? lol besides it being a fucking cage..?:LOL:cheers

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

Sick Aluminum upper stays will be ready within a week or so for 03-04 636 and 05-06 636. :cheers

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

It is SUPPOSED to help "absorb impact" from a wreck

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

damn sick shit bro .. thanks for the help. im running a 905 on my 600rr and im thinking of getting that tigershark cage...:yeah

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

The HEAVY DUTY Tiger shark with the 3 bars is the way to go. But I still Say ATOWN or IMPAKTECH

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

what about the tiger shark HONDA APEX PREDATOR STREET CAGE? and does anybody have a picture of it cause on the tigershark site they all look fucking the same.:shruggs:banghead:yeah:cheers

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

a-town is the way to go get one for 265 and it is by far the best cage on the market mine has taken some tumbles and some slides at about 35 when i low side drifts lol, but it is the way to go if you get one and you break it ill personally refund you your money and he has a lifetime warranty on his products.

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

Im not cool enough to rock a new bike, but I have slammed my 900RR
down more times than I care to say... and my 905 cage has def. paid itself
off and then some...

Re: Best Cage Choise

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

I know everybody hates Powers, but if you're looking for rails, they make a decent set and they're a little cheaper than custom rails. Their cages look like shit though.

I barely crash though :LOL
I was looking at Flores bike at Indy and looked like your shins wouldn't hit at all. I will update though as soon as i get the cage and I will make sure to highside a highchair circle or something real hard to test it :LOL

Re: Best Cage Choise
 

905....but i just go with the cheap si cages...

That double slider is the key to strength, same with a tygershark, impacts the lower portion of hte cage, then the main impact point, spreading the load, forcing the load to push the cage down and up at the same time, spreading it.. Isntead of all the force just hitting 1 point and forcing the cage say up
