crash cages?

[BLOFLY 636]

has anybody ever used them or know any body who has used them before? I am thinking about puting one on my ZX-6R but am worried if it could pivot the tyres off the ground when you go around a corner quick? I want one mainly for some wheelies and stoppies this summer in OZ. I was doing ok last summer but am worried I won't be so lucky this time round if I try something new

probably easier to take off side fairings than put one of those cages on

side fairing cant get damag ed at all if they are not on the bike when you drop it

yeah the farings aren't what I am too worried about, it's the engine and stator covers, foot pegs levers indicators mirrors and all the other bits that freak me out when you see what they are worth!

Those cages are stunt cages, they will ground out on corners with little lean. They're made just to protect the engine etc when crashing whilst stunting and they generally do a pretty good job, but no good for street/track riding.

Buy a stunt bike! You have an excuse to go out and buy another bike! So use it!

Yeah, they definately look like they'd ground out, if you think about it, on most ride outs, your foot pegs ground out, or at least come pretty damn close.

On the other side, for stunting they look pretty good.

Actually a few years ago, they were campaigning to have something similar compulsory on all bikes.
