Crash Protectors and bar ends for the 12
I had my first major tip-over while trying to put my 12 on the (crappy) LP-USA stand. It tipped over to it's right, and I've got some damage everywhere from bending the front metal tubing holding the mirrors to cracking the plastic and scratching the clutch case. 
I found some superbike crash protectors and bar end protectors in Dennis Kirk's catalog and am thinking of installing them. Anybody ever installed these products on their 12? How can you ever mount it without cutting away at the fairing?
Any input is appreciated.

I have yet to find any kind of frame/crash protector for the 12. I'm told the big hurdle is the monocoque frame.

OK I found a CA vendor. Here is a pic. But it does'nt look like it really can protect in case of a tip-over.

Think swft is using the LPUSA ones for the 9R.
I found another vendor:
