be a real man and fur it Seriously though, if you can make some decent pieces you'll have no problem selling them. Especially for f4is and gsxrs

yea, lets all hope so. I cant get a job cause i help my mom with her store and i have school. Unfortunately she cant really pay me cause the business isnt doing so well. I gotta make some cash somehow

I just made a 1/4 of the cage tonight just for practice. Came out not bad...it was so dark it was hard to see. Cant wait til i get off school for spring break, one more week, so i can start making the real deal

Furring doesnt' stop your clutch and stator covers from getting cracked and dumping oil...

I can have one done for an f4i probably probably in another week-2weeks tops. I should be getting my bike back this week...hopefully. Then i can begin it. Since i have school and work next week i cant do a lot at a time til spring break week, which is in 1 more week. I will definitely post pics of it on my bike.


Price will be probably $150...maybe even cheaper to get more sales going

How extended do you want them? About an inch longer than usual frame sliders? Let me know.

Btw, i started on my brothers gsxr today. So far i made the bar that loops around the bottom of the bike. Weather starting looking bad so i stopped and called it a day. Gonna try to work on it again thurs and finish the gsxr one. Hopefully i will get my bike this week too so i can begin the f4i.

At first i was gonna make the cage go underneath but i didnt want it to have clearance problems when coming off a truck. It would bottom out. Thats y i decided to do it how i did. My first piece i made was it going all the way underneath. I can make you one going underneath the bike if you prefer. Let me know. I might even have to make it go underneath on an f4i since there isnt much room by the header. Still dont have my bike so i havent started it on an f4i

I'm not too sure if it could be adapted for the older gixxers. Not sure how close the mounting points are on it. I will be testing them this weekend probably. I'm gonna put all my ragged out plastics on try some slow wheelies. Pretty sure it will hold up..i'll will keep you guys updated.

UPDATE: Sold 4 so far and have gotten positive feedback for each cage. One person said it worked for him. So the question, "does it work?"...HELL YEA!
