Haha, best response ever. Will do!

Yep, this does seem to be full of crotchety old sods. Oh and don't worry, I'm done with the trolls and ignorance here. I'll contribute & ask questions regardless of the noise I encounter. I guess I did get the feedback about my original post, a resounding no in the community haha. Well, I'm building & installing a "cage" (bring on the hate I guess) that will properly protect my VFR. Those of you who don't like it, well you don't have to. To those of you who find this project interesting, stay tuned. Thanks for the positive responses, as for the rest of you....get over yourselves.

Wow, a practical response, thank you. I know that cages are not common on touring or sport touring bikes, and I never said they were. I said they are common on super sports. Yes I did ask for input, not ignorant and arrogant responses which seem to have been the norm on this thread, a few others not withstanding. It only tells me that simple-minded people occupy the majority of this forum. I'm so sorry most of you have no idea what else is out there besides your own little nitch, but it would help you all to open up to other ideas.

Again, stunt and highway cages are very different, but that would require you to actually read the posts instead of just commenting blindly. I'm finding this group to be full of ignorance, and you are certainly exemplifying that fact.
-
I'm sorry you don't see them, but that doesn't make it false. Thanks Nelix, please back up that statement with any facts at all and I will happily listen.
-
Exactly my point, thank you.

I'm sorryvfor the confusion. I'm not referring to crash bars or sliders. Also, the Crazy Irons "cage" that someone posted a link to, again is only the basis and starting point for the construction of a full cage. I guess I should have also specified that it's a crash cage and not a stunt cage, which is also very different. I know most people are familiar with stunt cages because that's what you see most of the time, but they are designed for dropping and slow speed maneuvers not Highway use. I will try and get pictures posted in the future once I get it completed, I was simply looking for feedback and if anyone else had done something similar with their VFR. You don't have to like it folks, it's not your bike. Thanks again for the feedback, and I'll be happy to answer anyone's questions.

As I stated in the beginning, that is the base for building a full cage. So what you are looking at has no actual bearing and what I'm installing on my bike aside from 3 of the 9 mounting points. Thanks
-
No, I mean full cage. Crash bars are somethingelse entirely.
-
Cage, not crash bar. Not even remotely similar. Crash bars are detrimental at speed just like you said. A crash cage on the order hand is not.
-
I'm only using the crazy iron setup as a base for a full surround cage so links wouldn't be very helpful as the crazy iron setup isn't a proper representation of what I'm doing. If you're curious just Google crash cage.
-
I want to protect the bike, and for those of you who have never run a full cage please, don't assume things. The cages, unlike crash bars & sliders will actually protect the bike. I don't care about appearances in others eyes, I'm not vain, I'm realistic. Besides, the VFR isn't exactly a show stopper in the looks department anyway. It's a practical bike with a practical purpose. Commuter & tourer, which it does quite adequately. So, taking the same practical approach, I'm fitting a full cage. Also, thank you for your input and comments. I know this is basically sacrilege to a lot of VFR owners, but it's a viable option if people so choose.
-
Yeah I posted the pics, and no I'm not talking about crash bars I'm talkingabout a proper crash cage. If you don't understand the difference, Google it.

Any updates on this build?

Ok, I'm getting ready to install a Crazy Iron's crash cage on my 2014 after I modify it into a full surround cage. I was wondering if anyone else has run a set of cages on an 8th gen & what the group's thoughts were regarding them. I have cages on my other bikes, but it's a very common accessory for super sports. I haven't seen them on any other sport touring bikes like ours.
