Default crash kit

i recently bought and have been riding a 06 F4i, and before i really get into the riding season, i would like to protect my bike somewhat in the event that i drop it. i was looking online and talking to some of my buddies who also ride, and they said that the best bet was to by a crash kit for my bike. i was researching them online at different vendors, and could not find a crash kit for my bike, but i found them for many other bikes. does anyone here have a crash kit on the bike, and if you do, where did you get them from?

if you are refering to a CRASH CAGE then i wouldnt recommend it. you have to cut up your fairings and you wont be able to lean your bike as far. you have to cut up the fairings to do the frame sliders (which you should just go w/ those!) but i believe the crash cage requires much more cutting, lol. get some Vortex frame sliders and be safe.

A good crash kit is Full Coverage with your Insurance and a 100 deductible. Don't stunt or speed and pay attention to the road and you will be just fine.

looking online, the crash kit consists of frame sliders, bar end sliders, and swing arm spools. i was already planning on getting the frame sliders, i was just curious if the bar end sliders and swing arm spools were worth it.
