I've been reading everything I could find on search for a few days, and still could not decide which cage is better for 03 636.
I know that Tyger shark has life time warranty but it costs 130$ more that SI, money is not problem in my case, I just wanna know is Tyger shark worth that money or should I stick with SI?

and whats advantage and disantvantage on both cages!

Thank you!

PS. sponsored riders please dont use this as opportunity to promote your sponsor!

 

both are sick but with any crash they both **** up ive seen SI bend a couple times and i only have one buddy with a tyger shark he has a surf grip pad between the cage and his stator cover so it wont break

as far as the new tyger shark with the cross memeber i havent heard any bad of them. hope that helps

 

I know SI just improved thier cage for the 03-04

 

Well first i like to say ive been running a tyger shark cage for 1 and 1/2 now on my f4i and i personnally think its the best cage with the looks of a race rail out. the one thing i like the most about it you dont have to cut any more holes in your plastic than the ones for a normal frame slider. the next thing the innovative spring slider, which is big enough so if you ever do drop it so hard, that even a SI cage would bend, u still can get the hardware out of the cage(this is for you johnf). i've seen si cages that had to be cut off to get the motor mount bolts out. another is i dont knock my knees on it when doing certain tricks, si is known for this. Warrenty is another big thing, bruce will always take care of you no matter what. yeah it cost a little more, but you get what you pay for....

tygershark is the chronic.....

 

the new kawi cagez have a cross bar now. this helps a lot from any bending or twisting. they have nice clearances for drifting too. you can't go wrong with a lifetime warranty. its worth the extra money IMO.

Tyger shark looks.better but seems to roll up way more than the the SI with sliders

 

i agree! the best.

 

really?? i would think with the TS sliders being a mile long it would stop that

 

not trying to start ****, BUT a f4i can take a beating if your running a fi cage or SI or tygershark it will stand up.... all bikes can only take so much beathing .. and on 636 im only saying what IV'E seen.

 

i heard the same crap with the rolling over the sliders. I'd go with the si cage cause of looks and functionality

 

i've never had a rolling problem with my TS but it could be different on other bikes, in higher speed crashes i've had the bike hop up and spin slightly scratching the tail but thats about it. SI makes a great cage that can take a beating so you would probably be happy with either one, if you do go TS make sure to double check the bolts to keep them snug otherwise after a couple good crashes they get a little loose.

 

I don't care which cage looks better, I wanna know which cage does it's job better!
and for now you helped me about TS, but now I wanna hear about SI!

 

well i just saw that you live in europe so the warranty that TS offers might not be worth it to you, SI cages are tanks and from what i hear they just updated the design to make them easier to get on and off, it takes alot to bend them and they are well worth the money

 

yeah being a squid ive field tested both cages and si is better (in my opinion)
the tyger shark cage roll's on the the upper fairing.and tends to brake levers and fairings where the si cages doesnt...........
oh and has a ******warning i spun a big end coz my oil level was half when the TS cage rolled onto the upper******

here is pics of what i mean

the SI cage



the tyger shark cage

 

thanx a lot! this pictures helped me! + I figured that that warranty is not big deal cause shipping will cost me a lot and I'll wait to much for cage to be fixed and sent back to Croatia!

 

being that you are over seas the ts warranty will not help you. everytime you ship it back and forth you could buy another cage. SI was just upgraded and i put the new one on and it is super easy with a long bolt in the rear now that you just bolt on from one side plus the top tube that bent in the past is thicker wall tubing now because on the 636 the motor mount points are so far apart. the new cage seems to be diesel.
the choice is yours

 

powers

 

i have on 03 636 runnin the SI cage...I have NO complaints and that thing has taken a beating. I dont run the sliders but i put bar-end sliders in the bolt holes so they dont get crushed shut...other than that they're

 

The TS is a bit heavy so ive heard (solid round bar, not tube). Every one is right you cant go wrong with any of the cages out there. I think that the SI cage is the best deal, and yeah its built like a tank. I also have a 04 636 and I just got mine bolted on but haven't had time to ride yet... It looks like its got more leg room than a buddys bike with the older SI cage.
hope it helps

 

not even a thought......




TYGERSHARK ......................................bottom line!



I got three f4i's and have tygershark apex stunt cages on all three. His newest ones are even more stout! They fit, they work, they protect!
