im wondering if this is common or not. scraped last night for the first time and my big *** stock pipe sent me and the bike flying left. anyway the whole cage shifted to the right, and the right side cracked even though the bike landed on the left side. its kinda hard to see in the pic but it cracked right up by the weld. in the frontal view you can see how much further the cage is stickin out on the right side. any comments?

Racing 905 fixes them for free I think.. Email Aaron.. Go to www.racing905.com for his email addy.. Not sure how "common" it is?

yeh i just emailed him. Im anxious to see what he says. I have no complaints about the cage at all, and absolutely nothing bad to say about racing905. Its still solid on there but i know it'll crack all the way through if it even tips over again. This was my first decent wreck, other than a minor 7mph lowside before. Anyway Ill post up and let you know what he says when he returns my email.

my other cage did exactly the same thing. hopefully you'll get it fixed for free or a good deal

my bike(f2 w/905 cage) has taken 5-10hard hits it bent a little, but a few days later I crashed on the opposite side and it bent it back. No problems with it. Basically im saying that he puts out a solid product, but everything has a failure point. I think he will straighten it and weld it up for wicked cheap or free, and I also heard he can fix it and ship it out same day, depending how busy he is.

Or if you have a buddy with a welder, weld it up yourself, it'll save on down-time.

yeh i dont have anyone that could weld it.

I am in the steel business myself, and have several custom/misc. weld shop customers. 9/10 of these guys, will whip a quick weld on your cage for CHEAP, maybe $10 or call and offer to bring the guys over a 12 pack or something. DON'T bother shipping it all the way to and from Cali fro a weld.

yup..thats a simple weld job there take it to a welder and they'll do it in a few mins

snigg

yeh but if its all bent up id like to get that fixed as well, you know

It's just going to rebend if you actually stunt. Wait until the cage is a complete wad to send it back.

After you weld it, stand you bike up at 12 and drop it on the other side. Sounds like a ****stick way to mess your bike up, but this is a little trick that was passed down to me. Works like a charm.

kxrider

when mine messed up he told me jus send it back and all id have to pay was shipping but i jus had it welded localy cuz it was cheaper than shipping

Buy an FI Cage

Didn't you post a thread looking for someone to "hook you up" with a cage because your "home made" stuff wasn't working? "905" isn't "home made"

Not trying to cause trouble, but I would be willing to bet, most of the people on this site worked hard to buy thier cages(along with myself) from this online store or someone else's.
