Triumph 675 - new cage design

[Twite]

Having trouble with my old cage hitting my knees. Also, I was worried about possibly breaking the engine mount on the front throttle side because of the way it mounts to the engine and cage.
Thanks to Ian at SI for the sliders.
Thanks to Calicoat for a "good idea".

Pain indeed. The middle piece bolts to the frame. The cage bolts to the middle piece. HOPEFULLY the stress to the engine mounts is reduced.
Also hoping the triangulation distributes some force front and rear so the frame doesn't get hammered.

Nicely done. Not using beartrap pegs anymore

nice man!

Looking clean buddy!!

in order to reduce stress a little more again, is there no way to make a crossbar between the 2 front mounts?
i see they don't "face" each other but maybe a bent tube might be a good help, looks like you got plenty of room to do it!


btw, BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ:LO L

Still do on the 636. I LOVE motorcross pegs.

There is a cross brace tucked up near the headers. Only place for it. The radiator and fan are really tight in there, so not much space.
