    Crash cages/frame sliders

    hey guys, what's a good place to go for getting a simple crash cage or proper frame slider set to protect a 600 in the event of a slow speed lowside from some Gymkhana-esque car park racing?

    I find it hard to believe those plastic knobs will do anything and will collapse on impact anyway.
    ...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.

    they work for higher speeds because the bike slides out rather than landing solid on them, probably better with highway bars if its all low speed I seen some on a CBR 600 so i guess you can buy them from somewhere

    I've had engine guards fitted to bikes I've owned ... I've replaced a few too ...

    CHEAPER to replace them ... than fuck the engine ... or severely damage it ...

    I investigated cages when I had a sportsbike for better protection, but decided against it, as lean angles would be too heavily affected...
