Re: cage idea

it looks tough as hell but the problem with r6's and crash cages is the fact that the front motor mount is on a super weak part of the cylinder and if the cage digs in it rips the motor apart ....

i suggest not making the part of the cage that bolts to the motor mount a contact point meaning if the bike tips over make the cage so that part doesn't hit the ground , this will cause the bike to want to roll up on the tank some times but better a dent in the tank then ripping the motor mount off the side of the motor

ehh

can never be too strong, just too heavy!

SI is good, but still bends on minor crashes

not dissing them, they are dope, but nothing wrong with making something that could possibly be stronger

Ahh yes all knowing OMR you have a good point but what good is a cage if the bike roles up on the tank and bars all the time?i have taken this into my design the middle of the cage hits first then the slider which u cant really tell in the pic.

Its pointless now, hes tryin to sell it to get back in MX real heavy (hes sick as ****!) So hes selling his bike with a TON of extra **** for cheap and buying the new 09 crf 450.

Its funny to, when i saw your pics on your myspace, i saw wheelie D. and i almost bought a 900rr he had awhile ago hah.

For extra cash you think you could make a subcage for a 03 636 with a highmount... or even just normal pipe too... I want one of those bad!

DO WORK SON!
