    Truth be told, I don't own a cage. That said, at least when the bike falls over it stops sliding :) Cars don't fall over very easily and hence don't stop sliding very quick on their tires.

    While I was bending my side case latch back into a useable form, dozens of cars blew the red at the bottom of that hill I crashed on.

    Year 3 of living in Missouri without a cage, it's exciting :D

    Any Capo owners have pictures showing where they've mounted fog or driving lights? I need to add a set but have not decided where I'll mount them.....

    I have Denalis on mine.

    Mounted them to some handy threads that I think are possibly meant for the metal headlight guard. Very stable, zero light fixture bounce even off roaring.

    plug TuneEcu on your bike
    change the IFT setting, with a sniffer/probe in your exhaust.

    it may not the best looking screen but looks like it will do the job right. I would rather to use this instead of the wind hitting me on my face.:1drink
