Frame sliders are a good way to protect the bike, and those listed above (Cycle Cat) are probably the best out there. They replace the front engine mount stud with a longer one, which extends out on either side. The (replaceable) plastic sliders attach to the extended stud. However, you would have to cut the fairings and possibly get a different (smaller) battery.
I would suggest picking up an additional aftermarket fairing set ("sharkskinz" for example) for your street and/or track riding, and put those nice expensive factory ones in storage for safe keeping. That way you can return the bike to stock if needed, and not have frame slider holes in your factory plastics. Plus, if (or should I say when) you go down, you won't be kicking yourself for ruining the stock pieces (ask me how I know). Have fun with that new quacker, but be careful!
