is the bottom of your cage rounded/curved, or is it a straight edge that can catch? If you can drag with out it catching, you should buy drag blocks like on a minitruck, and attatch to your cage, then have someone video tape while riding behind you at night..... That would be a cool picture.

I dont see it being a problem then. I would take it easy the first couple of times it touches just to see what it does. Post pics if you get any of you throwing sparks.

i've got a 905....if you hit and come back, ull be fine....but if you hit and stay there...u WILL eat ****.

one thing you can do is to leave ur leg pointing towars the ground(on the peg), but a little lower that the cage...that way you're leg hits the ground before that cage and you know when you're close.

ive got a sick innovatins cage, very low profile, you gotta be draggin knee to drag this **** its only about 4 inches out past the frame maybe an inch or two past where the fairings would be, still tho, a 90mph+ highside would not be a fun time, and Dirty, i point my knee back towards the bike so it doesnt drag, i dont have pucks, and that just seems like a good way to lose a layer of skin, good idea tho if you got pucks

why don't you have someone w/ a tank cam ride close-up behind you and tape you makin the turns? that way you know how close you are to hitting?

also, i havn't seen any si cages close up, are they hollow like the 905s?
