CRASH BARS, ENGINE GUARDS, Carbon fiber kit for new rockets

[imcool]

hi,
In case you all wondering about crash bars/engine guard on rocket.
I found this guy selling Carbon fiber kit for newer rockets and crash guard. Total cost he quoted me was around 32000 Chinese Yuan which is ~4700 USD for a pair of crash guard. I cant spend that much on crash guard so just passing the information in case someone else is looking.
Cheers!

Lol....might be less cost to not have those things and just repair the bike if you hit the deck.
Also.....think about how much more valuable your bike will be to a thief with an extra $4700 bolted onto it.

I talked with T-rex this week. They said they would discuss w RD about getting a rocket in for frame sliders. We shall see.

Frame sliders would be great. Evotech was supposedly looking into them, but I don't know what has come of it.

yes, then we practice wheelies on rockets with frame sliders

They do look pretty flash, although it looks like they bolt to the block/sump.
I would imagine that any forces that the crash bars take would be transferred, in part at least, to the mount points.
I would like to see crash tested bars and resultant engine damage before I outlayed that much folding money.
