I did a search but couldn't find anything.

So, does anyone have the Buell Swingarm Protector Kit for their 1125?

http://www.buell.com/en_us/gear/accessories/produc t.asp?Menu_ID=2&ProductLineID=1&CategoryID=8&Produ ctID=4276

I wear a size 14 boot and I'm contacting the swingarm on both sides. So, if you have this kit, please post pics and/or impressions.

And, are there other alternatives out there?

Thanks in advance.

I have seen them selling on eBay before. I think it was a HD dealer.

You had me all excited with your thread title. Didn't Ducati try a CF swingarm this last year?

Oops, I can see how the title could be misleading. Sorry about that.

The CF protectors were on the "discontinued" list a couple months ago.

Sorry...but good luck finding some. Maybe EBR will re-issue them.

Ducati's new GP bikes will have an all new carbon fiber swing arm.

I have them and they work good. I picked up a set when I saw them on the discontinued list. They would work for what you are looking for. They are real CF and molded for the contours of the swingarm. Very nice pieces but they may be had to get. Here is a list of dealers that may have them

I have the heel guards, I was surprised at how solid they were. Granted it they were a little expensive at $75, but I started noticing boot marks on my swingarm and figured it was worth it.

I always thought they were too far back to be effective for protecting from the heel

Out of a "fire sale" order of a dozen items, I got two sets of these for 40 bucks and that was all.
Sent one set to Neil(Ccryder) for Christmas and the other one is for Loretta.
