In order of preference.

Tygershark ( tygersharkcages.com )
It will price out as the most expensive of the bunch, but its worth it. The cage comes with a lifetime warranty so if you ever damage the cage and are in need of repair replacement its free. It also has spring loaded sliders and depending on the bike a 1 or 2 piece style that most often has the most clearance of any full cage.

+ everything
- price

Sick Innovations ( sickinnovations.com)
The second best option and a little cheaper. Ian the owner makes a very nice cage. It has decent clearance and is very strong. Its a 1 piece style with a dependent cross bar. Its a little bulky in style

+ strong
- small tubing, bulky

Freestyle Ingenuity ( Freestyleingenuity.com )
A good usable cage. Heavy use may potentially damage motor mounts. Lower hoop causes clearance issues on the street. Looks great on most bikes.

+ small and inconspicuous
- doesn''t hold up well, lower hoop hits

Racing 905 ( Racing905.com)
Great improvements have been made by 905. The new cage they''ve put out is much stronger with better welds. Cage may hit shins, 1 side style ties in cage, but also by design puts a lot of stress from one side to the other.

+ Good reliable company
- Hits shins

Powers (powerstuntworks.com) <- I think
Garbage that takes months and months to get to your house. Terrible clearance for street use. Design often damages the frame. The Race Rails are nice if you can get them. Many shops and individuals are back ordered by months.

+ its a cage
- its the worst cage I''ve ever used, I tossed it after 1 ride


For learning, get a flat 12 bar. Racing 905 makes a nice one, so does sick innovations. Also look into Racing 905 faring stays and Sick Innovations sub cages.
