I'm 98% sure it will fit,but keep in mind yours is the Naked E version....the link is for the fairing F version.
The actual sliders are located in different places cos of the fairing/non fairing issue,but having said that slider brackets connect on the engine, & essentially the engine locating positions are the same.

Inferior mounting system on these. Poor stress distribution.

Seems like someone installed these not too very long ago. Maybe Weedahoe?

I have them and I would only recommend them for a 'no cut' option on the F model. They would fit, but there is really no reason to use them on an E.  I suggest R&G sliders for the E if you want similar protection and profile with less bulk.

I need best protection, for my stunt bike!  Any recomendations?

... I would recommend crash bars for a stunt bike as they offer the best protection.

Agree with Bboy.  The R&Gs are of great quality and look good as well.  I nearly got t-boned by a pickup truck who ran a stop sign last week and got on the brakes hard.  Slipped the front end, lost my balance, and down the bike went (i was stopped, thankfully).  The R&Gs did their job.  No damage other than a scratched up slider and a slight scratch on the edge of the mirror.  The left side slider saved all the fairings and pegs, etc...

Trex seemed more solid to me, they have 3 points were they bolt in, pluss it sticks out more, now its between rg item.mobileweb.ebay.ca/viewitem?index=0&sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=230969188923
Or this crash cage item.mobileweb.ebay.ca/viewitem?index=0&sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=180915760899
Why is the trex not good? thanks!!

In attempting to avoid cutting a hole in the fairing, the t-rex approach has come up with a poor design where the support plate is partially secured to the engine covers by skimpy little bolts, the design also tries to redistribute collision forces back and across the rear of the engine by a tube arrangement encouraging leverage issues on the side cover bolts of the bike distant from impact. There are better designs simply using a straight machined stud in the top front engine mount bolt hole. You will need to cut the fairing to fit these.
