Re: What type of cage do you rock?
i make my own after a little research and testing you can make one that will pretty much be perfect on you bike if you dont mind getting dirty.
heres mine over 20 crashes off the 12 bar alone this year thing still works like new, only broke a couple front brake lever but thats due to mx bars. ive gotten to the point to where im comfortable just jumping off the bike no matter what im doing if something goes wrong, it never fails...ever..20 mph scrapes gone bad....it takes those like a tip over
and due to the top sliders being up higher on the frame than normal, it rarely rolls over onto the tank
now everyone that has seen my bike crash wants me to make them one

Re: What type of cage do you rock?
I have to say that of all the cages I have tried Powers is the best. If my fricken camera wouldn't have died on me my avatar would have a nice close up of the cage. Matt at Powers is very good about feedback from riders and he is always trying to find ways to improve them. What can I say....he knows how to make a quality cage.

I Rock 905 For 2 Reasons 1 They Take The Impact Of The Fall Instead Of The Frame If You Just Keep Up With Hitting The Cage Back Into Place It Wont Crack Your Clutch Cover Or Magneto And 2 Aaron (owner Of 905)doesnt Treat You Like Some Guy Ordering A Cage He Cares And Does His Best To Help Out Hes Never Let Me Or My Team Down

Re: What type of cage do you rock?
SillyFab Phil from SacNuts makes the best custom Cages,only thing u have to take it to him to make it. I have personaly 905.yes it does roll sometimes,but I put a little slider same as MXD.so after that I don't really see any difference between 2.

i have to REALLY disagree with you on the cosmetic difference though. to compare a MIG & TIG weld and say you dont notice the cosmetic difference, even a blind person could tell. for the hardcore stunter, im sure it doesnt matter, but to me, i couldnt do it any other way.
