questions about powers crash cages
ok, so i just got my 954 liek a month ago. getting ready to start actually sessioning lots but i feel kinda uncomfortable without a cage. im paying teh bike off so a cage is good insurance im my opinion. im pretty much gonna get teh powers cage so with taht said lemme get down to eth point.
i know teh cage isnt gonna save you 100%, i dont mind if a faring cracks, breaks etc. that can easily be replaced, and a frame cannot. my main concern is on teh frame. just how good are the cages out there, especially teh powers at frame protection? i know if the bike falls over it will be fine. but lets say it falls from liek a parked 12 position, can it dent the frame right away?
basiclaly my main quesiton is with a cage, how hard must the bike fall in order to be really really ****ed up?
im just gonan be trying slow stuff liek 1st gear clutch ups and more serious stoppies when i get a damper. the bike falling doesnt bother me, i know ill probably fall and it will it and be fine.
maybe in just being paranoid, any advice would be nice, thhanks in advance

My brother and I ride the the MotoPsychoz. We all have the racing905 cages. We drop them all the time from a straight up 12 o'clock position and they fall smack down on the sides. A cage can take a lot of abuse off of your bike. My brother has broken a few mounting tabs. I've never broken anything. If you have that much weight slamming down that hard.... somethings gotta give. The 1-2 hundred you spend on a cage will be well worth it in the long run.
