Full protection cage for my striple

[Riddleea]

hey everyone, i have been doing allot of work on my salvaged street triple and want to put a cage on it because i have been getting into the stunt scene. i want a pretty full cage but have been having a hard time finding one for my bike.

let me know what you guys have in mind!

I would start with this.

And weld additional tubing on to it.

You are aware that will require a complete rear frame section swap, correct? Where are you going to put the coolant reserve bottle?

[Riddleea]

yeah i have read up on the subject and talked to someone else who has done it. i found a rear sub frame and the plasitcs that go inside that for battery housing etc. and a few other misc things im going to need like cushons used but still in decent shape. it may take a little fab. to get the resivor in there but im sure i can make it work out.

Cool, please keep us posted on your progress with lots of pics! I have also thought about this swap, as I like the single seat vs the banana seat. I'd probably need to sell off the Arrow twins and get a low-mount exhaust as well if I went through with this. Sargent is working on a seat for the Striple, I'm holding off until we hear reports back on it.

i will for sure, i have a lot i want to change my bike this winter, i cant wait to see what all i can actually get finished! but as always i will take pictures of the progress. im interested in seeing this seat setup your talking about. the only reason im doing this now is because i found a good deal on the parts. i considered having a poweder coat on the frame and subframe done this winter. any idea on what the going rate is for something like that?

[Neanderthal]

Like painting, powdercoating pricing is all over the map. I would guess around $100 to sandblast and powdercoat a rear frame. Around where I live, they charge about $100-150 per wheel, depending on powder brand and wheel detail.

Got email from Sargent today saying they are going ahead with a new seat for 2008+ Street Tripple. I'll buy one; very happy with the Sargent on my SV650S. Greg.

Since this seems to have gotten hijacked inadvertently from a stunt cage thread to a seat thread, watch for the seat posts to be spun off into a thread of their own this weekend.
