So i have been talking to Tim from FI for the past couple of weeks and i finally got some time to make it out there to let Tim work his magic.... Tim himself will tell you that the 03-04 636 cage had major flaws its no secret, with that being said this is what the new design for cage is going to look like. This is just a prototype he built for me, but the final product will be similar to this one...... the loop is moved forward and shortened so it will not make contact with the case cover.... he has changed the swingarm strut to chromoly tubing and added a chromoly strut to the slider to prevent flexing and the bolts bending.... havent got a chance to ride with the cage yet bc the bike is not finished but i did finish putting it on the bike and overall this is way better cage than his old design and i think its gonna work great on the 636's

I did ask him about that but the i can almost put both my hands palm to palm in between the cage and the case cover..... the pic makes its look closer than it really is and with added strut the cage would have to break before it would flex that far....

To stop the head from cracking when that slider takes a good hit
