so when i first got my cage i was trying to find the best deal for my cash. well i ended up gitting a si cage and i was told that if i bust it they will replace it. well i busted the **** out of it and made it in to a "s" but the bike was fine.. i called si and told them what happend to the cage and they sent me out a new one. THANKS SI:YEAH

 

hell yeah man...i cant wait to get mine...i hope it can withstand me learning circles:YEAH

 

well they should keep their word

 

ya well most of the other guys like powers, fi, or 905 want to give you the run around. its just nice to see some one keeping their word

 

aaron at 905 has always been straight with me, and their cage has stood up through hell and back!

 

thats cool they took care of you but when my buddy busted his they just gave him the run around and i had to weld it back up for him

 

Hmm, my old SI cage was bent back to the headers and in an S shape as well. I tossed it in the dumpster and put on a TS.

 

My 905 Same run around. Now stunting a FI cage.

 

Mine too. Bent it straight into the headers...even dented the headers. Next cage is a TS too.

 

looks like it has done good in your avatar

 

MXD rocks

 

maybe its overheating

 

FI will stand up to highway power wheelies all day long... no worries.

 

if you guys bent a si all the way to the headers... get ready for crackin cases like eggs on the regular w/ a ts...

ts like fi is for "pros" who don't drop their bikes.

 

thats true but only if you don't crash ha ha

 

Far from the truth, at least for my 636 TS cage....

I used to go through at least 2-3 cages a year, they wouldnt crack welds or anything like that. But every 3 point cage that goes throught the bodywork eventually shifts from side to side on big hits...Then they start touching headers, bodywork, case covers, and thats when I toss them and get a new one...

Well this season I bought a TS and its lasted longer then anything else Ive tried...My bike doent roll over and I havent broken anything on the bike all season...The other day I lost a fast SS circle and pancaked with both weels in the air, it hit so hard the TS slider cracked right in half....But the bike was mint still! I dont care how strong you think they are, a 3 point that goes through the bodywork would have shifted from that kind of hit, but the TS doesnt even move....$40 for 2 replacement sliders from TS, I'll take $40 over $250 for a new cage anyday....

I wont be buying anything else from now on

 

TS? What that?

I have an si and its worked great. I think the design is great. Its beefed up where it needs to be. But I think 905 has a little better craftmanship. I was surprised when i unwrapped the si some of the welds werent all that great and the mounting points kinda look like ****.I try not to beat the **** out of it. Usually i can save it pretty good.

 

One of the guys I ride with HAD a TS on his 636 when he bought it. Couple light drops and it was already bending

 

and so the debate goes on but hey dont you think that a lot of crashes are indiviual and sometimes a cage will get fucked up and some times it wont... fi are poop though at least mine is... cant wait for SI to come through the post!

 

Well... JohnnyP's opinion is respectable... he does know his **** when it comes to parts etc.

But.... Johnny, have you ever tried one of the newer design SI cages (the ones where the motor mounting tube gussets are closer to the frame)?

Because I too have used 3 point mount cages that bend to ****... even one of the 1st generation SI f4i cages got bent till i had to cut it off.. but it only bent in that one place where Ian redesigned it w/ longer gussets... and it took over a year to bend that much.

Now the new design one's I have put through HELL.... (i had ACL surgery last march, so I do not even try to save certain falls... just let the bike go and get away from it).

I'm gonna get my hands on a Tiger Shark one of these days just to see what it's all about.... this way i can actually say which one is better rather than speculate...

Having said that... I've been through 3 FI's on 2 different bikes... and a 1st generation 905 that broke all the welds on 1st 2 drops..... they both suck ***... don't know about the newer ones.
