Good frame sliders might keep your tank, fairing, seat, rear sub frame, gauges, and shit intact when you take a dump. That cage is only really protecting the engine case.

I completely agree, I bought the bike with the cage and have wanted to take it off since. I just need to order bolts to replace the ones in the cage. I’m always afraid of the cage hitting in corners and I really don’t need it since I don’t stunt at all. Also would consider race rails instead of sliders so it disperses the impact over a greater area.

Anyone interested in buying this cage let me know I’ve looked on 905’s website and it seems like it will fit mostly any Kawasaki sport bike. I could be wrong since I’m not into stunting.
