Atown Customs NEW r6 cage review

[!!A2K!!]

Adam sent me a redesigned r6 cage to try out. This cage is smaller, has better contact points, and of course as always indestructable. The old contact points on the old design were not centered becuase of the wonderful r6 frame designs. lol Now they are both center into the actual block instead of the right side frame and left side motor bracket. si cages like this would dig the front of the bike into the ground when tipped, this one doesnt becuase of the main motor mount is longer and has his new style white sliders (which last forever)
before the powder.....

after lololol





I've had a few good hits on this bike and still nothing. The cage doesnt move! awsome cage design and i like it a hell of alot better than the older style!

And on another note.......I've been hearing people complaining and whining about the added weight for the r6 subframes or the added weight for beefy steel stunt parts. (as if weight really matters to these bikes especially since more than half the guys ride SF) We all beat the shit out of these bikes! would you rather have a demolished bike due to cheap thin steel or a bike with high quality parts that add a few pounds? had a few riders ask about how I still stoppie with the added weight in the ass end, and was wondering how my front tire doesnt slide. I have absolutly no weight in the front of my bike! and the whole atown package in the back, and for you guys that have rode with me you can see I have absolutly no problem doing anything with the couple added pounds.

I will vouche for adam at atowncustoms he has THE BEST customer service and product! Visit http://atowncustoms.com for all your needs.....round bars, 12 bars, subframes, cages, subcages, rad supports!!!

Son of a bitch. I like that design better. Just looks like a Si cage on roids. I just got rid of my SI cage and bought an A-town. Haven't even got to try it out yet because issues with the bike. but should have it back up and running soon. So did he use those little inserts like the SI cage that go between the cage and the frame on his? I completely crushed those damn things and it still dug into the frame a little.

you talking about the welded cage spacers that go into the frame? If you are then yes they are on this one. The only problem I had with the old one was I didnt lock tight my bolts and my cage ended up beating up the frame lol just likie any other cage keep them damn cage bolts tight! Havnt had a problem!!

Yep, just on the SI cage they were loose. You just sandwiched them between the cage and the frame. I kept the cage tight, I just ended up breaking them and they still dug into my frame pretty good. It was a bitch removing the old SI cage, the mount on the right side was bent but didn't seem too bad but was bad enough to strip the case and I had to helicoil it to a 10x1.5. I probably should have changed those bolts out....

So you ever sale that old cage? I saw some guy posted he pm'ed you on R6. Hopefully you did. Sorry I fell through, I used the money to get my first hand brake set up. Just bought a nissin master for dirt cheap, and bought Nick's old Ho hey dual caliper bracket w/ caliper. Nothing great but should be good enough for me until I stop sucking. Anyways thanks for the heads up on the new design and the review. Take it easy Andrew.
