905 cages are junk

Lastnight i dropped my bike doing circles. I have a 905 cage and still cracked my case cover. Has anyone else had problems like this? Ive never had this happen before. do i need to get a different cage?

Nope. Don't drop your bike doing circles.

P.s. I took a crap a minute ago and realized my butt was cracked....

Moral of the story .... **** happens bro. I have had this happen with three different kinds of cages. After time, it's gonna give way.

Best thing that ever worked for me, as far as using a 905 cage, was to eliminate that bar that they supply that goes under the bike(by the headers) and use all-thread. After time that bar will bend and the sides of your cage will start to cave in. All-thread is pretty cheap to replace vs. buying a new cage. ALSO ... after you tighten down the mounting points on the rest of the cage you can use the all-thread to essentially "spread out" the bottom of the cage, and pull it away from the cases.

I guess I should of added that I am currently running an SI cage now, and have had no problems with it. I just haven't had it long enough to judge ... it's pretty diesel though.

they are tough ****!


Just make sure to replace the all thread anytime it gets bent bad, otherwise it'll snap eventually


Although I still flipped my bike with the all thread already broke, and only managed to break my clutch lever :YEAH :YEAH
