Old school 97 f3 street/lot build

[Reckless50]

So i ended up gettin this old f3 stuntbike for 600 bucks with title. Its going to be my first lot bike so far the bike has Pro Taper db bars 62 tooth rear sprocket, brembo handbrake with a easy pull clutch handle home made 12 bar home made cage and a hole in the rear seat and a little tank dent. Im not liking the cage at all ive noticed when the bike is completely on its side that the handle bars hit an so do the rear sets the cage is no where near touching the ground so i wanna buy a new cage does anyone know anyone off hand that makes cages still??? I havnt found much for this bike but i know theres alot out there some where

List of plans dont seem like much but figured i already got a start

New cage
powder coat frame orange
New rear subcage
paint tank white

For $600, I'd rock it just the way it is and find a cheap f4i to dump money into and setup while you're learning on the f3. I'd just weld some metal on that cage to house a delrin slider or something like that....

heres a pic of one side theres nothing to bolt the cage to on the bottom there and ive always noticed a cross bar on every cage ive seen theres room on the other side for one to come across to this side of the cage but the mounting tab seems to be in the wrong place?

I wouldn't be worried about that so much since the frames are steel if I remember correctly
