Crash Cage Installation/Help

[Rossco]

If you need a pro...then take it to a shop and pay for a pro.

Anyone that does this for you after hearing how you feel should they make a mistake is nuts.

It's plastic not brain surgery.

+1 on paying a shop to do it. If the bike were an old junker or something then yeah, but not on a new(ish) sportbike.

In fact the reason why I'm not riding is because I made the mistake of having an amateur do a repair on my bike for a case of beer. It didn't work out, now I gotta pay to have a shop to do it after all.

Bottom line, if you want it done good, you'd best shell out the cash.

I mean a pro as to someone that is not me. I wouldn't try to do it myself. I know it's plastic, but I don't want to mess them up myself. I know I can take them to a shop & have them done.

You could try free-handing it with a Dremel

If you really do need help, I have installed these cleanly and correctly. All I've ever owned were GSXR's 06/07 need to be cut no matter what. The method I use is using a short silver marker and putting it where the bolt hole is, then I lay the fairing over it and it pinpoints the center. Then I dremel it from the inside out and then lightly sand the sides, depending on the cage it shoul'dt be more than 1 3/4 inches/ish. Let me know if you want pics/details.

Yup.....and they are easy to bolt up and with some beefy frame sliders you willl be good...

cages are good but really not that great for street use and if you catch it dipping low in a turn its gonna be ugly...ask me how i know

What year is your bike, also is that a 600 or a 750?
