Does anyone make frame sliders/protectors for these bikes?

THAT IS AWESOME, i do not like the random carbon on cars but THAT looks perfect. almost like a cammo. 10/10 take my $
 
On my crash the tank slid just mm from the pavement such that I lost the 'M" and "P" from the plastic lettering. It did other damage to the bike, but overall just very lucky....

Guess It Was My Turn - went off today (crashed)!

Taking it easy, for once, and on a major, but curvy, highway and hit an oil spot in a turn this morning. Bam! I was sliding down the road before I even knew I was down. Lots of people stopped to help- there are good people in this world! Good thing I was in a left turn and slid off the right...

I have a new tank badge, but for some reason can't bring myself to replace the cleaned up one with missing letters- a reminder, I guess.
 
Yeah those are nice, but not wanting crash cage, just some sliders

maybe not on this bike because it is a monster, but frame sliders do the job when needed.

ok let's remove the word frame because it has you triggered, I was looking for any type of slider that would protect the bike in a fall. Not wanting crashbars, so it looks like there is no option available. Not a big deal bro

as stated many times, there are NONE and there is NO way to do it other than some form of a crash bar style. IF YOU COULD modify the frame to take a slider in some way there is NO place to put it to make a difference, the rockets have NO lower frame, what are you going to do? drill and tap the upper frame saddle? sliders need to be AWAY from the legs and in a position that actually do something. IMO if you can afford a $20K motorcycle, you have the insurance and the $ to drop said motorcycle but you should already have the skills to NOT drop the motorcycle, if you do not posses those funds or skills, learn a bit more on a $2000 motorcycle. the older rockets get TOTALED when they crash even in a light tip over due to the casting being damaged. If you want to protect her from just a drop in a parking lot, a proper clear bra on parts that can get scratched is more than enough to protect the paint and other parts that contact the ground.
you said that frame sliders do the trick so he called that out as bogus as it is.
 
not triggered but this is the issue with this bike, someone needs to come up with a solution sliders IMO are easier to make, we can easily get them CNC locally, but where will they go
