I have speedymotos underbody frame sliders, front axle sliders and rear axle, although it seems that it's not a good idea to use the rear ones (some might explain it better). I just use the rear ones at track and even that I'm thinking not to anymore.

For frame there are some that drill a hole on the fairings, nut IMO the underbody are a better option.

I say Speedymoto underbody sliders and maybe fork sliders... leave it at that. The other thing to look into is the Speedymoto water pump housing to help protect the right side. It's not cheap though.

I got the SpeedyMoto under body sliders and water pump housing. The water pump housing is really a tough one. It took a hit last Friday ... no leaks ... just scratched.
The left under body slider on the other hand is to short in combination with that pump housing. I didn't had the fairing off yet, because I broke my left collar bone, but it looks that the slider don't even got a scratch. Already ordered the longer replacement pucks. Its a track bike so I don't care anymore cutting holes in the fairing.

Keep the rubber side down ...

I've got speedy moto sliders for the frame, fork and rear axle.
R&g makes a good right side case cover guard and they make bar end sliders
if you're going to track it, you might want to look into the rizoma bar sliders with lever guards
the rear axle slider helps keep your swingarm from getting as chewed up, but a carbon swingarm cover can save you some headache is always a nice aethetic bit on these bikes anyway. the real detriment to the rear axle slider is that you have to remove it to put your bike on a rear stand.
Sato racing makes a couple covers for the left side case, but the speedymoto water pump cover is the way to go for the best protection.
Their are also a few companies that make a carbon cover for the corner of your fuel tank that tends to gets ground out on a good slide.

^ Not true. You can just use a rear stand made for bike with swingarm spools, lifts the bike from the axle slider.

axljak makes a very rugged waterpump cover, it goes over the stock pump, cheaper than the speedy moto.

I think Woodcraft makes the best set of frame sliders for the 848.

R&G makes a great et of fork sliders.
