Hey Merk:fugoff ..j/k
I run a cage from www.freestyleingenuity.com and highly reccomend it. It has paid for itself already. ***..I'll push it over just to show people how good it works..seriously.

10 inches past the tail? u will hardly be able to ride a wheelie past balance point cuz u will scrape... learn with the tail, tails are cheap as hell and ur less likely to crash when u scrape...

i took my subframe to my friends house and gave him some good pics of 12 bars so he could make me one. when i picked it up a week later he had made me an adjustable one with square tubing that slides in and out. and you can bolt up the contact plate so you can replace them. it has about 6 inches of adjustment. real easy to adjust the length with plastics on and everything.
its on the bike now , looks good but havent had a chance to test it yet since i have to take the bike back to his house and have him put some finishing touches on it.
will post when i get a chance to test.

id learn without a scrape bar.
make sure your rear brake is new with good fluid. while your learning them your going to probably go through a pad. watch out for brake fade. if you have a steel braded line that will help ALOT while your learning them.
also i suggest you hacksaw the tip of your pipe off.
also it helps me if i move all the way to the tank. (nuts to the tank) and extend my arms with hardly any bend at the elbow. this seems to keep the bike from going side to side.
do not chop the throttle. be consistent with it. be smooth.
right before i commit to a scrape i lighn up my triple tree to the bolts on my gastank to ensure im not crooked when i touch.
