since this main forum is about cage companies now im gonna use my
ive had the same 905 cage on my f4i for 2 yrs.... and in that 2 yrs of having it i sent it back to 905 in 3 pieces... i had to pay shipping there but they welded the cross bar back on the left side and sent me a new right side cause i mangled it so bad.... and then they sent it next day back to me... and included new mounting hardware.... as for customer service the r better than they were.... usually when i call now someone picks up the phone and if they r crazy busy they call back within the hour.... ive seen their new cages and like the gussets they r putting everywhere now... im not crazy to the new design on the f4i just cause the old design works awesome..... my bike has takeing some hits... i.e. why i sent it back to them in 3 pieces.... there for a while when mxd came out all the riders in florida were rocking them and then stopped... idk why.... but cages are like a fashion statement nowdays.... its whatever anyone says is cool to have.... i use my cage for protection.... but no hating... thats just my

It shouldn't have went into 3 pieces in the first place. I understand bends but not breaks from hard hits.

Rimmy

Sounds more like a sales pitch than anything else.

KennyCBR600F3

too bad im not sponsored by them nor work for them.... and ive payed for everything from them and never asked for the mounting hardware or the next day shipping.... but keep hating.... this site is notorious for it....

KennyCBR600F3

it bent then finally broke after a couple really good hard flalls... not in the 1st hard hit...

I've had one easy fall with the 905 on my 929 and it broke apart, and took out my stator cover and block. They never returned my phone calls.

KennyCBR600F3

that doesnt look like an easy fall......

Herb

You see any damage or even scratches on my bike? But I forgot you were there to see it tip over.

KennyCBR600F3

ive had hard falls with mine.... and u gotta remember too im talking about an f4i not a 929.... and mine didnt look near as bad as urs...
and at least the cage did its job protecting ur plastics!!!

Herb

I would have been better off without the cage and only have had to replace the stator cover. The bottom support bent up into the block, and took out a large chunk out. Had to throw that motor out.

KennyCBR600F3

i welded a piece of block back onto a friends bike!!!! and its still running!!!

if u can weld then why didnt you weld on yer 905 cage ...i mean you made it sound so easy.

DirtyToes

Rimmy

damn, I don't get most of the people around here... there isn't a perfect cage...

Every crash is different, and every cage will break or bent !! Some people expect to buy an indistructable piece of metal so they can do anything they want with their bikes... That's just not gonna happen...

There wil always be people around telling their cages are indistructable, but face it, there will always be people around who wrecked their cage by only dropping it once on a unlucky way

When your gonna stunt, just except the fact your bike gets damaged, even with a cage...

And when you had a cage for 2 years, and it never broke down on you, even when you had a bunch of hard crashes, that just doesn't mean it's indistructable ! Some other dude may have bad luck with his crash, and break it the first time he ever dropped his bike. And he would probably say his cage was a piece of crap, although the other dude had some real positive experiances with it through out those 2 years

KennyCBR600F3

well put insane j... i was gonna make a post about that but decided to make my 2 cents also seeing how there were about 4 threads up at once talking **** about cages....

Insane J

yeah exactly...

Offcourse you can try to buy a cage that everyone recommends, BUT, that doesn't mean it wil last forever on your bike... Some people are just more wreckless then others, and some people call their crash hard, when other people would call that same crash a small one

A general sportsbike weighs over 160 kilo's, and when the bike hits the floor on a piece of metal (the crashcage) however you put it, it gets a hell of a punch, and you can praise yourselve lucky everytime it held up !

KennyCBR600F3

tru.... a small crash to me is falling from seat stander and the bike slamming on its side... now if ur power wheeling down an interstate and u loop ur **** cause ur a squid with a cage then that to me is a hard crash and i dont think cage companies were designing cages to flip down the highway .... i think cages came about for lot riding.... but 1st gear lot riding....
