i bought a new 09 buell 1125r about 4 months ago and it is stored for the winter. i am not very experinced and dropped alot of money on my new baby. so my question is about protection. does anyone know the best set up for protection. i want to know the best to keep it off the ground in case i tip it over or whatever. i am thinkin bar ends, sliders for forks and swingarm. would that be enough to keep the bike from touching the ground or will the "lobster claw" radiators still touch. if so what should i do.

p.s please no remarks like just dont dump it

Other than not riding it your "thinkin" is your best bet.

Axle sliders will help.

Besides axle sliders, there are bar end sliders. If you do a search over in the 1125R section, you'll find a thread on carbon fiber. There's someone as I recall that makes CF frame protectors(fuel tank/frame, as well as swing arm) they're spendy.
