Here's a link to a great example of what I was talking about, just for anybody else that might be interested. Lots of other cool stuff in that build-thread too. Top-notch fab-work right there....

Yeah, working off something like that hoop that you posted a screen-shot of above, I'd probably mount that directly to the frame, making sure that the size and shape of the mounting plates are optimized to avoid concentrating the type of stresses that we're talking about. The I'd probably look...

Oh, and on the subject of rectangular tubing: nothing really inherently wrong with mitered corners like those, but those butt-welds should absolutely be gusseted - and it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and weld a flat plate in between each mitered joint. Not sure how best to explain exactly...

I think that might be the best way to approach a project like this for most people. and something like that could be built to survive a low-speed flop, but a single unsupported hoop like that isn't going to do well in any type of rollover at speed. Really needs to be triangulated somehow to keep...

Wow, looks like you've done a really nice job with that thing. Thanks for sharing.

Haven't been online much lately. Don't know anything about what, but gather that someone got hurt/killed? Sorry to hear that. Here's a link to an old thread about rollcages. There's been a LOT of bad information posted in this thread, and I'd like to help get this back on track. Please start by...

No, what I'm suggesting is that it could pivot downwards about 90-degrees and then use something like the stock spare tire cable-operated hoist to raise/lower the spare. Make sense?

If the tire support pivots and moves about 90 degrees (from vertical to horizontal), then you could use one ratcheting cable system or whatever to raise/lower the tire AND to raise/lower the tire support. Would need a larger drum and more wire, but something like the stock spare tire hoist would...

Many states require doors on all vehicles, unless they were not equipped with doors as originally manufactured. So in those states older Jeeps like CJ's are OK to run without doors, but newer Jeeps are not (they all came with doors of some kind). Not trying to tell anybody what they should/not...

Just got a big order of stuff from that company yesterday. Good prices and they shipped quickly.

eek! Would it have been much more work to build something that would offer similar protection without being so... ugly?

Here are a few measurements for you.

The bikes in those first three pictures are CRF250X's or CRF450X's with oversized desert tanks. That's pretty cool. Didn't know they were riding any of the newer MX-based bikes.

Whoa, that filter looks really vulnerable. There's got to be a better place to mount it.

What is that? Never seen a frontend quite like that before.

We use Scotts stainless steel mesh oil filters in our dirtbikes. As frequently as we change the oil in those things, the savings really add up. There's a lot of info about them available online. Wouldn't try to convince anybody that they're the end-all, but we like 'em.

The line to the remote fluid reservoir is connected to the master cylinder where the vent fitting was. So as long as the new remote master cylinder has to have a vented cap, you're good to go.

That looks GREAT gringeltaube!

Details? Maybe a link to another thread?
