So ive found a 4 point bolt in roll cage within my budget but need to get it send to me.
So my question to those in the know is how much they weigh, even roughly, guessing around 15kg. It's a main hoop and x brace at rear.
Thanks

Thats the one cully, believe they call it a half cage.
you think it's pointless?
Mainly thinking of having it for roll over protection. Budget wise it all fits.
so weight?

Buy a proper cage, the clue is in the name - show cage.

still a show cage tbh, the important parts are the front legs and main hoop.

Thanks guys. Think I'll pass on it then. Postage looks like it's a killer anyway.
looks like a 6 point in the future then.
