Default Sliders or cage?

hey i wanna get either frame sliders or a cage for my bike. i want everyones opinion on which i should get. there arent really any extreme bends near me so i dont think clearance will be a problem with a cage. and i do wanna start stunting some. also if theres anyone in NJ whos done the install id rather not cut my fairings myself my first time lol. thanx in advance

You pretty much answered your own question.

If you want to stunt, and don't care about ground clearance, then get the cage. It will protect better than sliders.

Just remember that it may cause more damage if you every put it down at high speed.

learn from my experience

dont stunt your DD, I have a Jeep too but waiting for parts to come in is like waiting for christmas in August when ur 6 years old... IT SUCKSS!


id say get a cage, cuz frame sliders dont really do **** to protect your motor, and at high speeds your fairings are basiclly gone no matter what kinda protection u have on there

If you can't afford to push it off a cliff, then don't stunt it or race it.

That is really all there is to it. No matter what you install on your bike, if you stunt it you will crash it and screw it up at some point. Even the pros crash their stuntbikes.

There is no such thing as a "race cage" anyone trying to sell you one is feeding you BS. Sliders (frame, bar end, and swingarm) are your best bet for high speed stuff. No matter what your bodywork will be toast, but the bike may still be rideable or at least less expensive to fix.

Again, if you can't afford to be without your bike, DONT STUNT IT.
