Hey guys, I didnt come up with much on this using the search, so I figured I would see if weve got any stunters on the board. Im looking to put a cage on my bike next summer. (hopefully my current bike will become a full trick bike if I get an '07) The only place Ive been able to find one is Powers Stuntworx. It looks like a quality cage, but you cant use the chin fairing. Im sure I could notch it to allow clearance, but I would like to see if I have any other options first. If anyone knows of anything, put up a link for me. Thanks. |

Powers stuff works great. The chin fairing works with hardly any cutting. Check it out, here is a shop bike we did up for a show here: http://www.cycleconnectionh-d.com/images/cycleconnectionh-d/january%2006%20005.j pg http://www.cycleconnectionh-d.com/images/cycleconnectionh-d/january%2006%20b024. jpg We've put powers cages on a few Firebolts and one Uly. They ARE NOT made to fit the long frame, so if you put it on, don't plan on taking it off w/o small crease marks in the frame. As far as the ride, your pegs drag before the cage does, so you can still ride hard in the twisties too On a side note, how do I link images to show up here? I tried HTML as it says its enabled, but it didn't show pics, just the IMG tag. |

That looks great man. I think ive seen it before. Maybe on one of the Buell groups on Myspace. Thanks alot, I just wanted to see it done before I dropped a few hundred bucks. Have you dropped one with the cage yet? I know team X-Treem uses them and they seem to hold up well, but they dont really tell what they break and how often in the DVD. Oh, and all you have to do to post pics is use the upload attachment option right next to preview/post message button. |

By the way, that paintwork is sick! Who painted it? |

Nice, but how much vibration is transmitted through the cage to the frame? Also, where does the cage mount to on the motor? Just curious. |
