I picked up a complete protection kit from T Rex Racing and will post a video review and install ASAP!

Those case savers look pretty robust. Any issues with those at all?

Two things: 1) The right rear cover is long. You need to start from the rear bolt, which needs to be shortened by an eighth of an inch. 2) No directions. Now this kit is very self explanatory, but with 5 different sized bolts and covers having different thicknesses accommodate a clean look, you need to pay attention. I pulled every bolt one by one and matched it up to a bolt through the cover protector.

I torqued everything to 55 inch pounds and haven't seen any leaks. I will be checking all of them at the end of the week. 8000rpm posted the manual saying 7 ft lbs. That is what the standard torque for an M6 is, but it just seems heavy when you are doing it. That's why I went light.

I ordered this kit plus the exhaust frame slider. Only thing I can see that will suck is not being able to clean and wax the engine case.

/threadresurrect
So how did you get the frame bolts off? Do you have to apply heat or use a breaker bar or something?

Nope, I'm running a Noriyoshi now. In the photos I have the Danmoto JISU on. Why do you ask?

Ha! I don't remember mine being that difficult to remove, but the dealer may have put loctite on them. I may also be at an advantage with the tools I have. I do know I did not use heat. If anything I used an impact to remove them or a long breaker bar style ratchet.
If you do not have these tools, I would suggest smacking the ratchet with a hammer. Don't go crazy swinging a hammer at your bike tho. This will essentially act as a pneumatic impact gun.
Another quick way to add leverage is by adding a pipe to your ratchet. I don't condone this, as i am a right tool for the job kind of guy, mostly due to the fact the ratchet your using will be placed under more torque than its been designed for and could break. This will get the job done though.

Kit looks great! The swingarm spool adaptors are supposed to move the spools back like 2 inches. Have you noticed better stability on the stand with these? Thanks!

Ashes doesn't have the adapters installed. I think they are more for keeping the stand hooks away from the muffler when lifting the stand. Here's with the adapters installed. Attachments:
