been looking at these:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KTM-690-SMC-ENDURO-MODELS-08-09-CRASH-PROTECTORS-/220692806996

and

https://www.bikebits4you.com/Racing_Products/Engine_And_Frame_Protection/RG_Racing/KTM/690/RG_Racing_Crash_Protectors_To_Fit_KTM_690_Supermoto

Does anyone have any opinions along the lines of:
Yes, they will save everything (words of R&G Salesman at NEC)
or
No, Your Frame will get wrecked (Words of My Local KTM Dealership)

Currently i've got Axel Sliders and Bar End Protectors, is this enough?

I reckon if you just dropped your bike going slow they will protect the bike from any damage but a high speed crash, even just a lowside they wont really work and prob end up bending.

if it was me getting them then yes i would buy them just encase you slip out on the rain or oil.

Seems a bit over the top, especially the R&G one Shocked Do you race it or something? Most people just settle for axle sliders and maybe one of those exhaust band things, can't remember the name.
