Does anyone make frame sliders/protectors for these bikes?

the rockets engine is used as an active structural element (stressed member) of the chassis to transmit forces and torques, rather than being passively contained by the chassis with anti-vibration mounts. thus any form of crash/slide systems is futile exercise IMO
 
I guess I don't understand how a frame slider would be futile if it protects the bike if it went down like on hundreds of other bikes regardless of what engine it has ?

“Frame” is a key word here. We don’t have any low, upfront. So the bars connect to the engine block and can punch in a nice hole even during a low-speed crash/drop.

not looking for crash bars, only frame sliders
 
I have had a few of the newer Ducati v4 bikes (multi and diavel) and both had evotech sliders or Ducati oem crash bars fitted and these bolted to the engine. The engine was designed with this in mind so the mounts were very thick and expect strong. As advised above, Triumph don’t appear to have considered additional mounts, making anything that bolts to the engine a risk of causing major damage. I had a chat with evotech and they confirmed the same and the reason they along with others have not made anything as they would do more damage in a drop.

Thanks bud
 
On the up-side, I can speak from experience that the gas tank makes a nice frame slider. I went down a while ago (rain + trolley tracks) and the bike slid down the wet road for a hundred yards or so. Tank and bar-ends were thoroughly messed up, but no damage to the engine block or frame anywhere.
 
I've searched and only seen some for the older Rocket III
yes, only one guy makes it, its around 5to 6K USD( last I asked one year ago)

There is another option but that is not so good and no guarantee that it will fit
