For 1 we didn't ask them to sponsor us they asked us! i run a powers cage right now and it is junk, and time for a new cage. so far within our group we have had the old powers cages and they broke parts on our bikes because of the weak metal used now they have stronger metal supposibly. we have waited since pyscho fest for our cages and still no sign. as far as i am concearned 905 is the way to go because the fi cages have broken 2 bikes so far(motor mounts & heads on motors)a 2003 r6, and a 929. unless powers pulls threw (2 months waiting) which i don't see happening i will pay top dollar anyday for a racing 905 cage

Re: Powers Bikeworx SUCK
Stuntlife is forever pullin cage drama, best thing to do is to design and build your own just how u want it. Im sure that everyone has at least one person to turn to that knows how to weld and fab. I make all my own sh*t, cages 12 bar (etc). This way when sh*t gets fu(ked up you can blame yourself...

Re: Powers Bikeworx SUCK
any cage will give if you pancake hard enough, or enough times, doesnt matter who makes, then you got to think, what are these cages ALL made of??? steel right??? steel against aluminum, the aluminum is gonna give first, just the way it works. if you are running any cage i suggest you do like i did and re-enforce your frame and motor mount "ears". this is not a shure way to save them but ill tell you from experience it helps. 1/2 inch plate aluminum welded over all the weak points in the frame. these arent hard to find, just look where every one elses frames are bustin after they stunt hard for a season. didnt feel like taking the tank off to show you the 3 other plates i got welded on, one on each side on the vertical weld where the main frame is welded together, one bent to fit and welded across where the welds meet the neck of the frame. its easy if you can weld and if you cant most shops wont charge much to do it. think about it, frames are expensive, and if you can stop from twisting a motor mount out you just saved your engine...

Re: Powers Bikeworx SUCK
i never had a problem with powers.
i saw on thier website that f4i cages were comin soon.
so i called them up and asked them how long till they are ready. sue told me they are ready, i bought one and it arrived at my house in ~ 5 days..
sorry about your luck

Powers **** is tough and they are straight up... Tyan, you may want to check with the Promotoer who set that **** up... i believe they owe for 3 cages still.. maybe there`s your problem... maybe coming on here trying to run downa business is the problem... DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND when you run down ****.. you think you`ll be getting anything?< A question
Power told me last week my cage was being shipped on tuesday.. guess the *** what.. i got it friday.. maybe cause i don`t get at`em with a bad tone, maybe you did.. maybe you didn`t..
My **** hit teh ground over 120 times i am positive.... NOT A FUKN CRACK ANYWHERE on the cages... so... maybe someone in thier shop was ready to leave early.. ****.. who knows... but i don`t think wrapping the mouth helps at all... if you want business, talk like it, i `ve watched other cages in action... GET REAL!!!!!!!!! Is only one cage maker beating the rest... and that would be POWERS.. and they `re coming strong.. progress my friends.. and they`re all over it!!!
be careful
i`ll be here all day.. g`night.. thank youuuuuuu

ive been positive for the last two months, i sent an email once a week to ask about my cages, not everday buggin the hell out of them, i posted on here, cause ive been hearing the same things from other riders at competitions, so i decided to post something on here since they have so many croanies on here postin about how good they are. And if you were sponsored by another cage company youd be lickin there ***** instead of powers.
