Default "Crash" or "stunt" cage opinions.

Hey there im looking for opinions or experience on crash or stunt cage options. My first question is does anyone know if it will restrict how low i can get in turns if i have a cage installed? I found racing rails that i may get but obviously wont protect as much. Reason im looking is i just got the fairings painted and dont want to have to do it again lol. Ive also seen many different kinds. Stunt works, 905,etc. Any help would be great. thanks

If you drop it then they will all be ok.But if you go down and slide,might cause more damage with it on.

My cage will look like this but these are self-made and the guy will make me another set.

most of the cages are self-made. you can make them for very cheap. i wouldn't worry about the reduced lean angle... you'd need to be really far leaned over, pegs and feet should hit first

I know this guy from a finnish forum and have ridden whit him because he lives close to me. He has 3 cages to make for 954 here in Finland and the shipping would be so high there wouldn't be no advantage in the price. I will cost me way less then some commercial cages but i will paint it my self and get some parts for it. There is nothing wrong in little drifting whit used track tyres/slicks. Bikes are made for riding

Well heres my original thought. Alittle bit of info . I got the wholw bike painted with spawn . So there chains all over the bike . I wanted to take a crash cage cut each bar out and weld chains in its place. With the right welds it could be extremly sturdy and look amazing. Looking around now . It seems like a hug waste to buy a cage just to cut it apart

it is, so why wouldn't you just build your own.... then you'd have some more money to get it PC'd or chromed (if that's your thing) when you were done with it
