    Hi does anyone have a supplier for engine case protection for the 2018 model? I assume it's different to 2016 model with the 100+ mods? Looking for some so I can go on track without worrying about smashing the engine cases ... Thanks

    Yep...R&G engine sliders fit the 2018 RS - I transferred mine from my old 2016 bike :)

    When my 2016 R was new...I dropped it (relatively gently) but it landed on the slider...and that was the only part of the bike that was scuffed. They work!

    Ok thanks - I am not sure they will stand a 50 mph slide on Oulton Park, but great for a falling over incident. I did get the Triumph bungs included when I bought my bike and they don't seem very robust, again, just suitable for a fall. I had Top Block Racing engine protectors on my old (2010) speed triple and they were proper tough cast aluminuim items. Ideally looking for something similar for the 2018 bike.

    I didn't spot the word 'track' in your opening post...but now I see that what I have aren't quite up to the job!

    These are the same sliders that I took off my 2016 R and transferred straight to my 2018 RS.

    R&G do a cover for both sides, I think its the same as on 2016/17. It's not pretty will do a much better job for a track day.

    Cheers I quite like the T-rex ones from the US, chunky PE. They offer a full refund but buying from US involves duties and hefty return shipping bill. Anyone stateside fancy putting to the test ?

    Got these crash bobbins on E-bay for £35 half the price of R and G look great and feel very robust!

    Here are photos of the T-Rex engine guards. Easy to install. I also have the Evotech Bobbins. I figure that more protection must be better. ;)
