I don't see any R&G frame sliders anywhere on that site for an 06 600RR. All I see is the crash kit for the 07/08......which is exactly what you need, but for the 06.

^^ Yep.

http://www.cyclesector.com/product_p...-600rr0708.htm

This R&G crash kit is for the 07/08 600RR's, but includes the Aero frame sliders, Bar end sliders, Fork sliders and the Swingarm cottonreel spools. To be honest, there is really no need for spool sliders AND axle sliders because the spools will hit the ground first in a slide, which would really make the axle sliders pointless.

But I haven't found a crash kit for the 06 600RR. Maybe other sites have R&G, but I'm not sure. I'm not extremely familiar with their products or where to get them.

Don't the spool sliders get used more for picking the bike up on stands than actually crashing? I plan on getting a rear stand in the near future too (= may as well think ahead.

I'll just have to shoot them an email. Thanks btw!

That's why they call them spool "sliders". They're a dual purpose device. They're used to raise the rear of the bike using a stand, as well as protect the swingarm in the event of a crash. You can get regular spools which are extremely small and are really only used for the stands.........or you can get the spool sliders which are larger and stick further out from the swingarm and are usually made of the same material as the frame sliders.

Do the fork/swingarm/bar end sliders do that much of a difference when the bike falls? My bike has bar-ends, but i think they are stock.. they have already worked wonders as it is. The main reason i want the spools is for the bike stand. the rest i figure its better to be safe than sorry.

Pretty much all sliders are there to limit the amount of damage you take in the event your bike goes down. All off them provide a degree of protection, if you do go down your going to get damage, the sliders will help minimize the damage.

Bar end sliders are actually made to contact the ground. Your stock bar ends are not.

IMO you need frame sliders, swing arm spools, bar end sliders and fork slider. Anything more than that you might as well buy a cage. Yes all of it is to be better safe than sorry. All i have on my bike are swing arm spools and frame sliders.
