DIY crash cage pics -thread - Petomaani - 03-26-2012
Time to post your DIY crash cage pics!
Show me your own design - it would be inspirational for those who are about to fab own crash cage! Used tubes/materials with wall thickness would be also great information for beginners (like me).
My first own DIY-cage is nearing completion (for F4i), I'll post my pics when it's ready!

I did two of them on my gixxer. One was 25mm diameter and 2.5 thickness.
The biggest issue is always the bottom where two sides of the cage mount together. First i welded two plates to go side my side. That bent fast and started to brake the frame after a while.
Second cage i built was 22mm diameter and 3.5mm wall thickness(that is as thick as i gets lol). Bottom issue i solved when i welded two plates on each side of the bottom cage bars and a third plate went on them to hold them together. When i crashed hard and the cage bent a lil, i just took the third plate off and put new one with new holes on it so there wasnt any pressure on the frame or the cage. Still have that one on the gixxer:

Here's my first DIY-cage finally finished, for F4i:
Cage's thinner pipe's diameter are 21mm and wall thickness 3mm, thicker pipe's diameter are 30mm and wall thickness 2,5mm.
Three large nuts in the left side cage are brackets for the gauge cluster. I'll post few pics when I've bolted on the cage.
