No, our Impaktech Crash cage will not reduce your lean angle. Our Cages are designed to be tucked in close to the fairings to avoid any contact on the ground while riding on the streets, highways, or canyons. You can drag your knee before the cages make contact with the ground.

Yes, you can still lane split with our Impaktech Crash Cage. The cage is designed to fit closely to the fairings and has a sleek appearance. If your motorcycle currently fits through your front door, it will still be able to do so with our crash cage installed.

All Impaktech crash cage weighs between 14 and 16 pounds, including the left and right side cages and hardware. Once mounted, the cage's weight will not affect your riding or the nimbleness of your bike.

The rear subcage is sold separately and is not included with the purchase of the crash cage. We highly recommend purchasing the rear subcage, as this combination will provide the best protection for your motorcycle. You can still ride with a passenger using a subcage.

No, all Impaktech crash cages have been specifically designed and developed for your motorcycle. If you order a cage for a 2013-2023 ZX6R, it will only fit that specific model; it will not be compatible with any other motorcycle. This cage is not universal. You can find a list of all the motorcycles for which we make crash cages on the homepage of our website, using the Year, Make, and Model search features.

No, You can only order RAW and Black from our website. We stopped offering different color options to reduce our wait times.

All colors we previously offered are listed in the color code chart below. If you would like to powder-coat your cage in one of these colors, we recommend ordering a RAW cage and having it powder-coated locally.

A raw crash cage means that the cage is supplied in bare steel without any powder coating. A Raw cage is not intended for installation without a coating, as surface rust will appear over time. You will need to paint the cage yourself. This option is ideal if you want to customize the color of your cage to match your build. Raw cages ship out the quickest.

Our crash cage features a lower crossbar that mounts securely to the bottom of your bike. This lower crossbar is designed to work seamlessly with the OEM header, but it may also be compatible with most aftermarket headers. However, please note that we cannot guarantee fitment with all aftermarket options.

Additionally, our crossbar is compatible with all aftermarket slip-on exhaust systems, allowing for easy installation without any issues.

It's also important to mention that our Race Rails do not require a crossbar, making them suitable for any exhaust system.

For the 2024-2025 Kawasaki ZX6R, you need to cut the fairings to access the main motor mount bolt, which is required for our crash cage. Cut one hole on each side; the lower crossbar doesn't need any cutting. Although it may seem daunting to modify your new fairings, this is a worthy sacrifice to protect your motorcycle.

We strongly discourage you from purchasing a cage that doesn’t require cutting. These kits typically use a bracket that does not allow the cage to mount directly to the engine mount, which is the strongest point of the motorcycle. In the event of a drop, the bracket can break off and strip the threads, causing more damage to the bike than protection.

For this installation, cutting is necessary. All of our Impaktech crash cages are designed to mount to the main engine mount. If the main engine mount is easily accessible, we can design a cage that does not require any cutting. However, if the manufacturer has covered the main engine mount with fairings, we will need to cut into the fairings to access it. This is the only way to create a cage that is both strong and safe for the rider and the motorcycle.
