DONT BE A CHEAP BASTARD SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY

uhh no, reread it if needed. arc= steel tig= exotic metals ie aluminum

Wrong, Tig makes a great weld on steel!!

In the TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding process, an essentially non-consumable tungsten electrode is used to provide an electric arc for welding. A sheath of inert gas surrounds the electrode, the arc, and the area to be welded. This gas shielding process prevents any oxidization of the weld and allows for the production of neat, clean welds.
TIG welding differs from MIG (metal inert gas) welding in that the electrode is not consumed in the weld. In the MIG welding process the electrode is continuously melted and is added into the weld. In TIG welding, no metal is added unless a separate filler rod is used.
TIG welding can be performed with a large variety of metals. The two most commonly TIG welded metals in the PRL are steel and aluminum. Steel is relatively easy to TIG weld and it is possible to produce very tight, neat welds. Aluminum takes a little more skill, and one should have at least a little bit of experience in welding steel before making the transition to aluminum. However, the basic technique is essentially the same and most people can make the jump to aluminum fairly easily.

ya chromoly is expensive... but if you support your points together.. you should be fine... at least i hope so

dan copy the mxd design that i run..and anthony runs it doesn look like the strongest but anthony can vouch it works real good, have yet to break a rear set, pas peg, clipon or lever...plus if u bend one side of the cage it doesnnt **** up the other side....its basically a frame slider on the front motor mount the middle motor mount and tubes connect those 2, then 1 tube connecting the mid mount and goes to the bottom subframe hole

ya i thought i was a hot shot at welding aluminum one day and my dad had me try to weld some coolant channels for snowmobiles... i blew that aluminum apart liek there was no tomorrow... anyone that can weld thin aluminum give much respect to ..... someone said to me that know your good when you can weld 2 soda cans together

-RYNO

maybe you should be a rocket scientist instead of a cold hearted stunna!

fabioonachopper

ya zack you and anthonys bike is where i got the idea of what i want to do from... i just want to know how long each point is from the frame... its not a need to know thing but it would help me out... when you drop your bike does it hit the stator cover at all?

Dammmn I guess I forgot to check up on this thread... Yeah Tite is right about Tig Vs. Mig. Also u should only Tig chromoly.. You don't have to run it just what we ran in our race cars.. thats what I was saying is if you wanted to it was the best. I run D.O.M. tubing and thats it.. I have built a hurry up cheapy cage out of regular black pipe.. actually suprised me what it went through but I would never build a permaent one or one that take much time to design. Oh and nah Mxd and Powers both have great designs... just make sure and brace it like theres are too!

Z-UNIT

nope, ill try to remember to measure next time i go out but if i had to guess i wud say the frame slider is prolly 5-6inches long

Robbie

The industry is all ready there *******. 2-3 years ago it may have mattered...you're just talking like other people talk and trying to be that cool guy who hasnt a fuking clue.

So he would be doing is supporting someones pockets by bot trying to build his own.
So mind your fuking business if you have nothing to offer.

If it wasn't for people making them you would never have a better design.

louisvillerider

that design someone was doing a while back (the big block of plastic on the frame) looked like it would be easy, and they said it worked GREAT... might try doing a search, or someone else might remember

if ur in mass - hit one of us up for "b-mac's" number. His F4i cage is NO DOUBT the strongest one out there. Take this from a kid that crashes ALOT!!! How the motor bolts, frame bolts & subframe bolts are on the bike - he designed this master piece where nothing bends!!!

I've ran F.I., 905 - there good don't get me wrong. its just when you have a problem & he's a phone call away & in the same state - well worth it.

Robbie, lets hug.

kj

bmac can make some unbelievable ****... hell of a nice guy too.

Jay Carnes

and he can kill a 30 pack with me in an hour! what up man?

Robbie

What up Bro...

I've chilled out cuz im watching this live feed from Africa...LOL

http://live.wildlife.wavelit.net/451OK

It's kinda trippy...That fuking bikerboy posted that **** on here like a month ago and it's always in the way of the new threads...so I said F it and "lets check it out" kinda cool...but I may have smoked some dank

Hope all is going well with ya

Jay Carnes

i can't stand bikerboy. If he posted it, i'll delete it. Even homo's call him a homo.

Robbie

I knew there was antoher reason we get along.
I can't stand him my damn self...
NO one has ever seen him in real life...
I've know or have met 100-200 people easy from here in real life...

That dude...he is just st8 internet...stange dude.
