Default Suggestions?

Been looking around for different race rails, found a set of black ones for my bike that would cost $165. They're made by "Powers Stuntworx"... Seem to be a decent cost, look good, but is there a better brand to buy?

That is the company (powers stuntworx) that makes race railz. Im not aware of another company that does. As far as I know Topher 905 makes crash cages not race railz.

I was told Freestyle Ingenuity makes them, as well as a company called "Race Rails" (a friend has them on his gsxr) but I haven't been able to find them online anywhere. I was just curious. Thanks guys.

I want more protection that frame sliders offer and I don't want a full cage.

I'll say it before you have the chance to... Don't be a douchebag in my thread.

I actually think its a good idea for you, since you are short and female. Two big factors that exponentially increase the risk of dropping your bike. I just wanted to make sure you were stunting it.

I think there 100 times better then frame sliders. Due to the fact frame sliders can snap fames, engine mounts, and attaching hardware and bend anything in the way and race railz use the frame as structural support over a single steel bolt.

Yeah that sounds exactly like what I read.

I also found a sub frame cage. Takes the place of the rearsets which is completely fine by me. The boyfriend hadn't ever seen one but thought it looked like a good idea. A little pricey though. I've read good things about it on the gixxer forums.

You're right, 905 offers cages only, but that, imo, is the highest level of protection.
