Superhawk VTR1000 Roll cage

Hi
Does anyone know a place where I could get a roll cage for a VTR1000?
I have looked at some of the popular sites and couldn't find a reliable quote. Do let me know if you know any source. ( what $$ am i looking at? )
cheers

no one makes a cage for that bike because no one stunts them. your going to have to get something custom made if you live near any of the cage companies which you probably dont, or locate a welder in your area and have him make something for you. but your best bet is to not try to stunt that bike at all.

and you really may want to consider a different bike anyway... I know the superhawk handles really well, but it's REALLY heavy and twins tend to not be fond of wheelies for long... you're going to go through motors quick...
