My only question is: Will they fit with Ronnie's Highway pegs installed?
You mean that C-14 wasn't layed down for demonstration purposes?
I just did a search for them under the kawaski part number 123CPS0032 and found some on ebay for 577.00 but they have the logo. May be an option if TBR does not get back to you.

I still dont understand why we do not get all the same accesories as Europe, what do we not drop our bikes as much?
If you do want the Kawi branded ones the problem is finding a shop that will ship them to the US, the ebay link you attached says they only ship within the UK...
If you do want to order the Kawi ones I did find a shop that will ship them to the US, I even spoke with them on the phone back when I was hunting for a set, here's a link to their shop.

Just checked it out and it says they are only available for 2008-2009. Thoughts?
The slider part is black, or are you referring to the arm part? Here's a pic of them on mine, I think they look great! The silver arm matches the swing arm and bars etc on my bike, so I think they fit right in nicely IMO... You could have the arms powder coated black though if you wanted prior to installing them, that might look pretty cool too...
Man I love the looks of that black bike with the duel carbon silencers!
I have just bought these as cannot afford the other types..

I also enquired @ MC Enterprises for the cost of the Police Accessories for the GTR1400 09 Model, Here are the prices that have been quoted to me. 1400-100 Engine/Fairing Guards black $350.00, 1400-300 Small Side Bag Guards black $175.00. The estimated shipping cost via USPS is $83.00 to the UK..... I wont be getting any but you now have an idea of price.

me too purcahsed Projekt D Frame Slider, they are very good customer support, my own opinion and i m not working for them, just a happy customer.
The slider is great, easy to install with clear instruction but the problem with it is if you bike dropped, even slightly on it, you have to re-tight the bolt that hold the slider in place and after 2 drops, the bracket is gone.
I just got the Top-block ones, dar** they are expensive, nicely packing and very lousy instruction, i do speak French but the printed photos are there to prove that they have photo only, you cannot see a thing and hardly understand a word in there. Photos from Fred Hammond is all you need to do the installation

I'm reading this post for the first time, and as I go through it I can't believe nobody has addressed the obvious. If the bike falls over it's going to mess up those nice looking "sliders". At around $600, whats the point of having them. I doubt if it would cost any more to replace the fairing side panel that its designed to protect. Am I missing something? I don't read french so I didn't spend any time looking at their site, but the only plausible answer I have is if it has an inexpensive plastic cover that can be replaced. But if not, why spend money on a $600 part to save a $600 part? While my numbers may be off, I'm sure ya'll see my point. Any thoughts?1)most tip-overs have resulted in alot more than $600 in damage. 2) I'm pretty sure that if all you needed was a single block, not all the hardware and mounting components, you could purchase one for less than the price of the entire kit. (However, I couldn't find anyinfo on purchasing these from the english version of the web site.)

i installed the Top-block one today, it s beautiful, based on my own experiences with a few crash, slides and tip-overs on different bikes, these are the best sliders in term of look, protection and sure it s the most expensive ones too .
Unless it s a crash or slides, these sliders wouldn't be that bad damage if you just tip your bike over, unlike the case with the Projekt D ones.

Here you go with the Top-block Sliders.
Personally (i saw some same comment in here too) i would prefer to have the the full black Delrin side upward instead of in this picture but for the moment i m keeping the silver alu part upward as it s designed for, fearing that if it s downward, sand/dust might stuck in there ....i might turn it up side down later to see
