i hear talk of a cage that can be used on track as well as stunting?

if so who makes them?

Cheers snOOpy

 

mxdcages.com try them out i think theyre like $125

 

yeah mxd cages...talk to jeff....his screen name on here is -MXD-

 

how do they hold up?

 

great, ill post up some pics of a bike that wrecked in a tank wheelie, went down on the 10 fwy--its a real bad freeway, has cement grooves, you can see the grooves on the cage-- the bike has gone down many times, cage didnt bend, but it did wear down. give me a minute, you can see for yourself all the damage that happened.

the bike still runs fine, i bought it off the guy.

 

hey bro (MXD) you gunna be in lakeland or daytona for bike week? I need a cage for my 04 gsxr 750.

 

and the pics. theres some damage to the exhaust, he went up a curb. then some small scratches on the rear. check out the grooves in the tank & sliders. the damage on the cases was from the first time he dropped the bike, which is also why it has the titanium carbon fibre uppers & lowers before he had the cage

 

mine paid for itself the first day i had it....got off doing a second gear stand up and the clapped the ground....cage didnt bend and the bike is fine....picked it up and kept riding.

 

no im not going to be at daytona bike week. but i can ship and they are very easy to intall. all you need is a drill, 17mm short socket, 9/16 short & long socket & 2 extensions for you rachet. takes about 30 mins. the first time, then ten minutes everytime after that.

 

or you can do what i did and bribe jeff with a 6 pack of corona....

 

looking forward to testing the track cage on my kawi...i got a few trackdays lined up already!!!!

 

let me know how that works out......i would suggest hangin off the bike a little farther than usual to get used to it.....

 

if you are that serious, you might scrape the cage. like i said before, if you lay the bike down, the exhaust and the cage hit at just about the same time, and on the other side, the case is about a 1/2" from the ground when the cage hits. just take it easy at first, then get into it if you dont scrape it.

 

believe me gents, i will...i nearly lowsided last year in turn9 (at loudon) with a homemade cage on...lucky the old knee held her up!

should be a good test on the kawi though...i plan on doing some good street rides this year!

i'll take her easy, the cages look cool and like i said i'm excited to try it out!! i will also say that jeff has been very prompt and cordial through our email convo's...

ttys

 

i dont think it would scrape if you went easy on it...ie: not racing ama.. ....but i definately think you can get a knee down on it...hell ill come do it on your bike next time im at the shop.....i dont see it being in the way that bad...then again i havent ridin the track cage.....

 

in those pictures, is it me or does the stator look like it got scraped in the same crash?

 

The stator was scratched from a previous wreck, if you read what he said. And if you have your knee down, I don't think you'd hit that track cage, unless you're really leaning the bike over.

 

read? hahaha whats that. :p

anyways, so i guess i wouldn't be able to drag elbow or anything with the track cage... gotchya.

 

yes it was scratched before it had the cage on. he was waiting for the cage to get coated, decided to get drunk on 4th of july, lost control and the case kinda explains what happened next.

 

HMMMMM....I GOT A CRAP SET OF LEATHERS THAT I DONT USE ANYMORE.....ILL TRY AND DRAG AN ELBOW ON THAT.....BET YOU I COULD DO IT.
