Cages for the twisties

Anyone rock the twisties as well as stunting? I'm looking at cages and I want something that I won't have to worry about dragging hard parts when the bike is really leaned over. I've done enough of that and enough highside close calls to be warry about hard parts.

some of the newer 905 cages look like they might have enough clearance...

Not sure though, I know mine doesn't but, it wasn't designed for that. I know they can customize them to fit closer and stuff....

hit emm up and find out. aaron @ www.racing905.com

You shouldn't really mix the 2 types, they don't work well together.

Check out our website at the pics of our cages. I don't think they would hit. They are the shizit.

Draging knee

At this point in the game the best way to protect the bike and drag knee is just extended sliders. I have some road race friends that us the FI slider on track days to keep the bike safe. But I am affraid that any cage off the side enough to protect the stator will hit. The fellows I know drag there pegs off so cages are out. This reminds me of high school when I used my race car for everyday transportation. stunt or race, get two bikes.lol
