Besides the front and rear axle crash sliders, what else is available and from whom? Case guards etc...

Taylor Made engine case guards from Erik Buell Racing, then you can stuff some Ulysses frame pucks behind the radiator pods to provide some more frame protection. Nothing else really needed other than that. : )

The fronts aren't really necessary. The rears are nice, and I recommend you REMOVE your spools and use an '08 style PitBull instead.

I'm not really a fan of the frame pucks on these bikes. They don't do much other than give something "grippy" to grab the curb with and flip the bike. The pods (or flexi-glass body work) are really the way to go.

Anything for the clutch cover/right side of the motor? And what of the metal axle sliders? And where do you mean the frame pucks near the pods?

Thanks for the input.

The Taylor Made covers will protect your stator and clutch covers. You mentioned in your first post you knew about the axle sliders so I didn't touch on them, but I highly recommend the Dark Horse Composites with removable buttons from American Sport Bike. On my Uly I was able to get all 4 to hit the ground in one wreck.

The frame pucks go on the frame, there is only one spot for it, it mostly fits. I personally don't run them on mine, but many do.

I think I've mentioned before that the stunt cages are not a track use item.

Get the case covers, some axle sliders if you want, and go.

I wrecked mine with just having the case covers, worth every penny. I did not have sliders, it scratched the swingarm, but no major damage to it.
