the first time I put mine on I thought it was a real pain in the ass too, I just took it off to put my plastics back on. When I put it back on it only took a couple of minutes... start with the motor mount bolts but keep them loose. Then put in the long bolt in back, keep it loose also. Then put the bolt in the lower front that connects the two sides, tighten it down. Then go back and tighten everything else

Man a friend of ours has got a 636 and put a powers cage on it. He went down a stand up on the streets and it broke in half. Parkinlot shit it was fine. Not to say my 905's are any better. My are so out of wak I had to use all thread on my rear bolt, hey it works.
Peace

I dont know what you guys are doin to your cages but damn...I crashed about 80 mph, biked flipped for about 150ft in and out of the road...powers cage has just a slight bend in the left side top bar..other than that she was perfect...nothing else bent or broke.I love my powers shit. even though my 12 bar now looks like a piece of shit.lol

i had my tire presure way to low and was trying to ride idle on uneven pavement, layed it down on its side from 12 at about 3 miles an hour, bent the cage to the left right so bad u can see the bottom bracket on the right side if u look from above the tank, also damn thing grounds out so hard core it is amazing, dont think ill ever be ever to get the cage off again with out a wizzy wheel, cage is on an 02 gixer 1000, my buddies now.

I looped my F2 at 5mph with my mx cage it slammed down on the side and barely scratched the cage, oh and I can drag my knee with it installed.

i was tinking about an MX cage for my F3, ive heard alot of good things, i hate the 905's and powers has no f3 cage, what do u think about the MX on your F2, any downsides
I haven't crashed it a ton but the times I have it hasn't budged, it's rock solid and less likely to roll onto the handlebars than a 905. I got mine for 150 and painted it myself.

Weak 12 attempt but shows how well the cage works.
