I'm just curious, does anyone use a 905 cage, and I mean the new design. I know their first design sucked *****, but I have been using the 2nd beefer design on my F4i for over 2 years and I'm pretty happy with it. I have beat the **** out of it as I had this during the time I was learning and it has taken many hard hits from the bar to the ground yet it's still in decent shape.

When I go to the stunt spot everyone rags on these cages so I wanted to see what you guys though.

P.S. I know the S.I. and T.S. are the best cages available today.

I had the new design on my gsxr before i sold it. first big dropped it bent the cage and stripped out the motor mounts

Who else has experience with these cages. Good or bad

After time and time again hearing bad reviews, WHY RISK IT?


are 905 cages like 1/4 the price of SI?

Is there something special about them that makes you want to be the one that takes a risk?

Just get **** that is known to be a good product..



You don't go buying a cadillac northstar v8 for reliability!

As far as I know the new design was just made in the last few months......... You sure you had the new one?

starboyz, ed1000 and gse nick use them, yeah they were prolly free to them but still, ed and nick rock custom bikes that run a pretty penny and they put truct in the new cages...run what u like...i rock powers race railz....people rag on me for using powers, i dont care...looks good and so far has worked good...do u really care what people think? if u do then get a si or ts

It's not just about what people 'think' its about what WORKS.

IF you wanna run race railz, go ahead.. But when you flip your bike across the lot and rip your motor mounts out and break a stator cover, and everyone else keeps on riding, then you might think about switching.
Or you can make the same mistake again.

my 905 cage is holding up remarkably well....it's a newer design, but i don't think it's the "new" design, i got it last fall, as long as all the bolts stay tight, 905 has a pretty solid design, i've been throwing my bike pretty hard since not riding much this past winter....

Have you ever used race rails? One of the bikes down here that gets wrecked more and harder than any other bike down here runs MXD race rails and they hold up better than just about anything else I've seen.

i highly doubt he had the new design cuz as of like 3 months ago, they only had the new design made for the 06 GSXR and it was on Warren's bike. I actually saw it for the first time in person this past weekend.

its MUCH slimmer and looks stronger than the previous design. now i gotta talk to Aaron about getting the new design. i've beat the **** out of the old designs and never had an issue. the new design looks much better.

I have the newest design and it is doing really well. I had a few really hard drops learning circles and SS, and don't even have a scratch on them.... just the pucks. They also keep my levers from touching, as well as anything else in the front. OMR subcage is protecting the rear. Reinforced corners help a lot too. Only negative I have so far is the bolts vibrating loose every now and then.... but I just tighten them back up.

Thats what I was thinking

I had a 905 on my last 900 and it took a beating for sure.. dropped from
12 (more times than I want to tell you guys.. ) and Never broke ****.
I went and got me another one for this 900...

My question is my last 905 cage didn't have the 905 logo in it... and my new
one does, did they not put there logo in on the older ones???

50slut

my old 905 i had on my R6 took a beating, but about the only riders i see runnin em is sponsored riders or people who bought a bike that already had the 905 cage on it

Towlieee

I didn't even know the MXD was considered race rails, I thought it was a cage since it hooked to the front motor mount..


I personally run a MXD design, slapped it together with scrap tube, I think its a sick design.. (mxd that is, my cage is gaaabage but works lol, and only cost me $12 in steel)

oh hell yes i do, and the round bar

OnPoint

When I say "new" I mean their 2nd design. The 1st one was super crap. I had it on an R6 and after just a few hard hits, the cage bent so bad it took my friend and I using a huge pry bar to get it off the bike. I didn't even know that they came out with another design just recently.

OnPoint

I understand what your saying, but I'm not looking to by one. I already have one. I just wanted to see what other people, who are using them, think about them. I've had so many people tell me they are garbage and I wanted to see why, as I have no complaints.

Say what you want about Powers' cust. service, but their products are good. I have SI now, but I have had Powers in the past and in my opinion, their stuff has the best looking welds and look the nicest.

key word here is A FEW HARD HITS.... seriously, you guys get cages and think your bike is now going to be undistructible. ANY cage if its takes a good hit at the right angle, kiss that **** good bye. and make sure everytime you go ride, you tighten up your bolts. thats usually the biggest issue with people breaking ****.
