Does anyone make frame sliders/protectors for these bikes?

I said probably not on this bike, but other bikes they definitely do. Not looking to modify anything, just asked a question as I searched and found nothing.
 
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
that is all I was looking to get info on and they don't exist.
 
In case you missed it…
 
probably ok for casually dropping the rocket at a stop light or a parking lot but anything more than that and you ARE going to destroy the motorcycle and total it. this is the flaw with the rocket, the old gens are ok as the distance for the mounting is not as drastic of a lever as this. i would NOT put that on a rocket. Cast aluminum is NOT going to hold up well. every easy to snap them off for what? some paint protection.
IMO these are WORSE than nothing at all. learn how to ride is going to do more than this. ALSO rashed out back end
 
I've searched and only seen some for the older Rocket III
Here is what I made fornthe differential to protect it. Working on ideas for the front. This is a modified 4" steel weld.on end cap. .300" thick. Retained the bolt pattern for the potmetal cover it replaced.

Agree with almost everything you said except the part about the clearbra protecting from scratches from a parking lot drop - unless one gently lowers the bike to its side, clearbra will likely not prevent a dent or scratch from an uncontrolled drop to asphalt/gravel/concrete.
Also, while skills make a huge difference, accidents happen to the best of us. Some folks ride for decades without ever dropping - and other experienced riders may drop due to annoil slick in the parking lot. Or, your parked bike may get knocked over by a bad driver on a parking lot (who doesn't stop to leave their information).

Stuff happens
 
When I was a young buck I could pull up to the light and never put my feet down I would just give my 59 bsa a quick clutch apply and move a couple feet.
Now at 79 my balance is not very good so I have dropped the beast a lot of times once using a plam cruise control on a dirt road the bike just made a right turn heading for some electric stuff so I shut the throttle abd down it went.
Anyway on the early beasts it pays to use the crash bars. Now there has been several that has broken the case by trailering it with the kickstand down probably on the first good bump.
So the few hundred I spent has saved me thousands.
I don't have much crash experience but if I have a bad crash then i will not worry about the case.
Just my opinion
