Ohhh nice! Good choice on the EvoTech rad and oil guards, I've had them on mine since new and it still looks new at the front. So much better than the stock 'bare' rad in look and protection.

Get yourself an EvoTech tail tidy as well. They're much better than the R&G ones.

You won't regret that seat either. I can sit on mine all day, so comfy :D

Interested to see what the t rex stuff looks like on the bike. I just have some R&G crash bungs which sit by the left and right fairings at the moment, but I feel like they wouldn't actually save that much of the bike if I did come off.

Can't wait to see the pics!!! I've contemplated the tail tidy, but I just don't want an oil/rain slick up my back. Every time I think about changing it, I go look at the back of my S3, and realize that the alligator tail isn't nearly as long as I thought it was!!

I think about a tail tidy, but live where the rain does come down. That being said I'm surprised by the amount spray that gets by the 'alligator' tail. The T-rex sliders do look the bomb, also the sprocket cover slider is awesome but way out of my budget.

Installed yesterday and more to come by the end of the week.
1- R&G rear axle spool/slider, easy instal and practical upgrade
2- Flyscreen, what can I say, OEM part fit
3- Evotech Radiator and Oil Cooler guard, great quality and nice fit
4- Rear foot pegs removed.

I will take good up close pictures of the T Rex sliders installed, they are massive.
They have 2 attachment points, but the puck itself is T Rex size.
I am waiting on delivery of the Torx wrench sockets to do the install, don't want to use Allen wrenches even though they fit (little lose).

I saw the T rex stuff online months ago....the look different but good. Modern not like a roller skate wheel. What about lower sliders ? I think the T rex one's you bought go on the upper part of the frame new the side pod thingys yeah ?

The Evotech guars are superior to R&G. I did a serious research comparo and seen them both in person, saw every video on Youtube and read every post on them.
Quaility, fit and finish is unreal onthe Evotech, not saying R&G is bad, but if you see the coverage, attachment point, rigidity, fit and finish, you will go Evotech and not think twice.

I got my Evotech guards here:
https://www.motostarz.com/
They had it in stock, free shipping and fast delivery.
Good communication, but don't list things in back order until a few days after you placed the order. I don't like that.

I do like better:
https://www.motovationusa.com/?target=search&mode=search
Being in state, they have to charge me Taxes, which I hate paying.
They have fast delivery being closer to me and good communication too.
If you are not in Texas, use Motovation and they have a point system to purchase later stuff and apply a for discount with the points.

More goodies delivered and ready for installation tomorrow.
Rear seat cowl cover
R&G engine guard protectors
R&G end bar crash sliders
Evotech front axle crash sliders
I wanted to keep all R&G in this department, but they were on back order with no ETA, so went Evotech.

I like the Euro headlight look, so got YELLOW H4.
At least is better than GREEN. >:)

More pictures of upgrades

I finally finished the installation of the T-Rex crash protectors and the clutch cable guide.
The T-Rex are Titanic size and SUPER solid. I don't want to ever test them, but I am sure they will do their job. They have 2 point attachments making them a very sturdy mount.
The cool thing is that, even when they stick out quite a bit when sitting in riding position, you can't see them.
See picture below.
