Frame Protectors
Who makes frame protectors for the 12? Will frame protectors work any better than frame sliders?
What does everyone use and reccommend?
If anyone has any on their 12, could they post pics please. Thanks.

Lockhart Phillips actually had these in stock:

My thoughts regarding these:
1. They aren't solid enuff! C'mon, they bolt to that weenie lil bracket on the side of the motor! But then again, these are *exactly* the same ones that are sold for the ZX6R Necromancer has run for two years, and they've worked through some *horrendous* crashes!
2. I helped take a RC51 apart that had sliders that bolted directly to the motor. After a lowside at Daytona, Mike Sullivan (AMA #74) took off on the bike again and after getting up on the high bank, the motor went *kachunk*. So he pulled in the clutch and got off the track. Postmortem: The lowside was enough of an impact to crack the engine case IN HALF!!! Seems that the design never called for a side load like that to be placed onnit! Now I don't think that'd be a problem with the 12, but given my choice, I'd rather replace the bracket than the cylinder block.
