I shortenend the cage. I removed it completly from the atv. I removed a total of six inches from the bottom of the rails behind the seats and removed four inches from the front section. I started by cutting four inches off them I test fit it and realized it could use more cutting. I then re drilled holes for the bolts and painted the raw metal. I t worked out great, feels as secure as it did when I bought it. It looks alot better tooo. Now when you look at your cage you will notice the top of the cage is more narrow than the bottom part where you will be cutting. I thought it was going to be a problem initially however, it worked out just fine. this whole process took me two hours. tools needed. A Cutting tool such as a dremel or hacksaw ( air tool would be best but a dremel works fine.) Paint, An angle grinder or a file and a drill. The hardest part was after making the initial cut you have to put the aft end of the cage back on and angle the cut so it sets on the frame as it did before you cut it. It was not hard , I should say it was time consuming. I have pics, but i don't know how to post them..
