anybody rockin these help me out. what are the necessary mods i need to make. i have it mounted and everything is fine until i go to put my tail back on. i wanted to hold off on cutting down my battery tray until i was certain that would remedy my problem. I know alot of ppl have said you need to do this.

you gotta do some modding for the cages to fit

jebova2301

installing it wasnt too hard. it had a few fitment problems, but nothing major. to start, the top mounts were a little too wide(by like 1/4 inch). i ordered a cage at the same time, so i just used the allthread to squeeze the lower mounts closer(which made the top mounts come together more than enough), and threw in the stock bolts. there was my next problem. the stock bolts dont fit. I had to go to the fastenal store and buy heavy duty bolts and nuts. not a big problem. after i had it mounted up, i had to cut the plastic tray as you can see. some tin snips made easy work of that. after that, it was time to mount the passenger pegs again. another problem. the atown subframe uses a steel plate, and is thinner than stock. i had to put a washer or two on each screw for the pass pegs. so again, not a big problem. after that, it was just get the plastic back on and go.

pictures are(from left to right):
top row:
top view
front/middle exhaust side(right side of bike...trimming can be seen)
back corner(left side of bike...you can see trimming)
front corner(left side of bike, some trimming can be seen)
middle row:
view of wires and extra space on left side of bike
bottom row:
front corner on exhaust side(trimming easily seen)
exhaust side extra space out of subframe

I just had to trim the **** out of the battery tray to make it all fit. Wasn't bad but it was the only way to get the tail plastics back on. Not like it matters they are all busted to **** anyways.

jebova2301

i love them...i havent got to test them out too much, but my girlfriend decided to give the cage a test while she was learning

oh yeah...cant wait to get my frame and scrape bar...hope i dont run into to many problems and if so at least there's answers here for most of them.

nice pics jebova2301 those will help me a lot.

Adam my frame get back from powder coat yet

jebova2301

whenever my bum *** gets around to putting on my bar, i will take pics without the plastics. that will prolly help even more

haynmogli

oh you got the scrape bar from them too?

that will help more...now i just gotta figure out how to mount my taillight

~03~raven

If you didn't break the tail light tabs just reinstall the new one in the stock position. The 12 bar will only require a little trimming of the tail.
Here is a **** poor picture of mine though the tail plastics are FUCKED. but if the plastic were still there I would have only had to trim a small piece out.

jebova2301

if im looking at it right, the tail light should fit right under the bar.

haynmogli

oh ok wasnt sure if it would fit or not...i seen others put it under the tail by the license plate so i was trying to think of a way do do it like that...but if the taillight will fit in the stock position with the scrape bar then its going there!!

thanks guys!!

jebova2301

that is dilts bike...stole the pic from atowns myspace

haynmogli

This thing is driving me ****** bananas, i still cant get it to line up right.

if i have the tail in the right place the entire undertail is about an inch further back than the tail. ive already hacked a bunch of the battery tray off and it still isnt lining up. anyone else got any ideas
