you should be all set with just a cage, you could change the gearing, get a subcage, remove your plastics until your decent enough to not mess them up, handbrake after you learn the footbrake,

dont forget a 12 bar espically when learning wheelies and learning that rear brake hitting it too hard slapping that rear end off would suck

plastic is more forgiving than a 12 bar, their not really needed until you can slow your wheelies down, its better to break your plastic than your subframe imo

it helps a lil. you can still do wheelies on stock gearing but if you gear it a lil more it helps bring it up.
