Baja Spec for the Yamaha YXZ

The Baja Spec from Cagewrx and a quick comparison to the Super Shorty at the end.

[@bryanfletcher913]

Just curious what your thoughts are about the safety in a rollover or crash between the super shorty and the baja spec. The baja spec clearly has better/more bracing, but for general purpose riding/driving, is the super shorty as effective? Thanks.

They are both great cages. The red yxz in the video was actually involved in a lawn dart rollover in the dunes. The frame was twisted but the cage was not. The roof was damaged as well. Driver was bruised up from the harness but walked away.

Wow, that's scary! I'm so glad they were ok! That's great to hear that the cage did it's job and protected them. I've been looking at the different cage manufacturers and trying to figure out which one to go with. I know it's vain but I like the look of the "super shorty" cage with the radius bars vs the squared off style of the baja spec. But I like the added gussets and safety of the baja spec. I'm also trying to decide between Simpson seats and harnesses and PRP seats and harnesses. How have you liked the PRP seats and harnesses? I've heard that they raise the driving position up an inch or two. Did that bother you at all as far as driving position? Is the seat comfortable for long days? I've just recently purchased a used 2019 YXZ1000R SS SE and know that I want to start out upgrading the safety by getting the cage, seats, harnesses. Thank you so much for your help and for responding so quickly.

Did you have to weld the orange cage yourself and if not who welded it for you

[@steimz]

I welded the cages myself.

[@LeonardoDiaz-nb5qz]

Im a 6 Foot tall guy. Would these cages be tall enough for me? With a helmet

[@steimz]

As long as it is not a helmet with a top pumper outlet, you should be fine.

[@kenmurray9332]

why is the super shorty taller than the other ,what area is supet short , they both look very nice

[@steimz]

Not sure on the height. I think the names are just names. They are both shorter than stock for sure.

[@carnagev2916]

On the Silver YXZ, Did yo have to do any cutting underneath the light switch panel in order to get enough clearance for the switches?

[@steimz]

I didn't have to cut anything. Everything fits like a glove.

[@mikemangana9821]

Will the aftermarket windshield that fits on a stock YXZ work on your cages? If not, do you know of someone who makes custom windshield's.

[@steimz]

Mike Mangana Im not sure. Cagewrx might have that answer for you if you call them.

[@831_bikelife5]

What type of wheels and tires were on the orange one? Where could i find them, can u reply with the link to buy them?

[@steimz]

30” Fuel Grippers on ITP 14” Hurricane wheels. Tires were bought local and the wheels from KJMotorsports. 👍👍

Are they as much fun as that bad azz sand car that you had? Look forward to catching up with you.

[@steimz]

Hey Jeff! That is a sweet rail that you have. Still sounds soooo cool. We will be at Sand Hills July 16-20 of 2018. Already booked! The side by sides go in the mountains but not like an LS-1 in the sand. Hope to see you out there!
