slow wreck broke frame wtf?!?!?
alright so for the past 2 months i been in the lot practicing slow staggered, spreaders, seat standers, etc. on my 929. last week i was tryin to scrape the tail. well i got it past balancing point started on brake and scraped the tail laid on the brake and the bike twisted left and i went down. i was only doin bout 5 mph and the bike went from the 12 to right onto the engine mount part of my cage. i lifted up my bike and the cage snapped my frame in 3 spots. im pissed. i have never even dropped either of my bikes in the past 3 years i been ridin. just pissed off thought i would share.

right side engine mount on 929 breaks easily. FI cages will do that. i had to weld mine then re-inforce it with a 1/4" aluminum plate.
also, if you are just now trying to scrape staggered, i don't think you are at the point where you need to try slow spreaders.
and 5mph drag, step off the back and hold the bike up.

powers cage. and i know im not at the point yet but i gotta learn somehow and summer here aint too long lol.
i gonna take the frame off in the next week or so and weld it up.
it has a clean title anyone think it will be a problem selling it?

I was doing the same thing about 2 weeks ago on my 900rr and just before i hit the 12 bar the bike diped left and hit the corner of the 12. the bike launched and landed directly on the left side of the cage and smashed it into my stator cover...it was the FI cage...
