Is it a concern of yours if a cage sticks out far off the bike at the front engine mount? It makes the cage stick off the bike pretty far, but it drasticly reduces roll over. With a cage this way you dont have to have really long sliders that bend and break on big hits. Please voice you opinion on this.

 

Extended sliders like the guy from whackpak on his 929

 

What do you mean, "cage sticks out far off the bike"? Enough to wash out it turns or just enough to bend motor mounts?

 

cornering is gay anyway

 

I wasn't talking about cornering

 

 

whoops! didn't mean to quote myself there

 

post whorin huh i see whats goin on here

 

Call it what you wanna call it

 

I HATE breakin sh8t on my bars... but I'd have to see what "far off the bike" is...

 

It will never make you wash out in turns. It angles in to the fairings. You could drag your knee if you wanted to before the cage would hit. I am speaking of the front engine mount being long. The cage sticking out off the fairings several inches at the front mount instead of being real low profile. This will Will drasticly reduce roll over. Engine mounts will not bend if they are properly gussetted.

Anyone else have an opinion on this? Trying to find out whats most important to people about a cage.. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

 

Roughly about 5in. at the front mount. It varies in between models.

 

This is a pic of a zx6 cage. This is the angle i am speakin of. The cage spreading wide at the front. It doesnt do that on this one.. Imagine the cage being about 2 in further form the bike at the front mount. Would that be too much?

 

how bout some 3" aluminum sliders on the cage,you can get away with makeing the sliders longer if there aluminum ,the plastic stuff you cant make too long or else it will snapp off when u fall

 

I have seen a set of 3in. aluminum ones made by a different cage company snap right off on 1st hit.

 

Anyone other opinions?

 

I like freestyles cage it's small with the three inch sliders and most importantly it is light. Is that a bike works cage? It sticks out to far for me, but I just like protecting the engine covers I f^%$ing hate havin the bike laid up. And who cares about corning?

 

looks good to me

 

i think the cage on the zx6 looked nice/good

 

My cage sticks out quite a ways. I put up a post about it a while back to get feedback and got mixed responces. So far after a few light drops and one hard drop it has held up great without bending or breaking anything. It sticks out approx 10 inches and it is diffucult to make it roll over onto the tank. It is braced for and aft with an extension to the rear motor mounts and vertically by a stiff brace between sides.
