I know I'm gonna drop this thing, and it's in pristine condition right now...so looking for some crash bars!

No crash bars but I do have a set of fairing/frame sliders by T-Rex for sale.

Where would these attach on the E?  I would still prefer full on crash-bars but sliders are better than nothing...

E and F are no different for mounting

Will wait and see if anyone has some crashbars first, if not I'll ask again about the sliders  :)

Looking at the mountings: 1 to frame, 1 to engine case and one to the bracket on the other side, I would not trust them in a fall. The bolt in the engine casing is too easy to tear the aluminum case. The bolt to the other side would push the other side out of the case. With only 1 bolt on a really secure frame part, the engine could be severly damaged.

Renntec and SW Motec are available new. Both offer excellent protection (I've seen some after serious falls).

Still look for some crash bars, preferably Renntec or SW Motec, for cheaper than retail...
