Homemade is the way to go IF you got a smart person holding the welding wire gun. My cage was homemade and its indestructible! So is my 12 bar.....my seat pan, highchair bar,......

Re: homemade kits ???
amen.....
how do you think us that stunted before all these company's came out did it?
until i met friends in the industry i had homemade cage, 12 bar and i had a dual caliper handbrake bracket in 2003 (built myself).
i'll never buy a 12 bar from anyone....100$ for that junk. i build all my own 12 bars still to this day. it costs me less than 5$ in metal and takes about an hour to build in my shop.
cages, they are more complex and i'm lazy these days. Ian is a local here in indiana so i support him by running his cages.

Re: homemade kits ???
i have no experience with metal working but i'm going to start learning. I dont expect to be able to make a cage anytime soon but i'm going to see how much i can learn. the goal is to eventually be able to make a steel subframe for my f4i. wish me luck... else that **** breaks on me while i'm riding

Re: homemade kits ???
