Default Crash cage

Many of you out there own sport bikes, Im sure some of you might know what Im talking about when i say crash cage. For those who don't its basically a roll cage that goes on a motorcycle to protect the engine and fairings in case of an accident. My question is does anyone know of one for a 97 Kawasaki ZX-9? Ive searched all over and can't find one, even tried contacting makers to ask about modifying one for a later year. As this is the welding/fab thread i thought maybe someone would have made one or knew of a fab shop who dabbed in this before. Thanks for any help.

Definitely shouldn't be a problem for someone to fab one...especially if they have a bender on site. Might pay for it though. I'd do it if you lived near me.

yeah i thought maybe an exhaust shop could bend one up for me but the smallest diameter they can do is 1 1/2" so thats out of the question.

if you are getting into stunting, an old zx9 is pretty hard to learn on. I'd recomend finding a newer fuel injected 600. I know that's off topic, but I'm a stunter and started with a 98 zx9 and that was a heavy underpowered piece of ****. I've been on an f4i for a little over a year now and it's great. super strong, and we all know you can't kill a honda.

a couple pics of my bike.

yeha stock its like trying to pull a wheelie on a harley, but its been bored to an 1100, has a jet kit, and all done only 1000 miles ago so for 500 bucks ill play with it. With the sprocket kit and a 12 bar on it its really not all that hard to pull up and play with.
