Yes, you're right. It's a brand called Aero and look very similar to Rsv. They come in different colors and have also 3 mounting points.

Yes, I agree, they're probably the best.
I was going to buy cheap ones here, but now decided not to have any.
The plastics (and other parts) are so cheap here in Thailand, sliders are just not worth it.
Additionally there's a bigger risk of bending the frame with sliders.
There are so many different views about the pros and cons of sliders on the internet.
Personally I think they might be a good topple protection, but at high speeds the odds are they do more bad than good.
You're lucky that in your case the pin broke off. Were the mounting points still intact? Could you get the damaged slider off easily?
A bended frame can be hard to spot without removing all parts and measure it carefully.
I still got some time to do more pondering, since I got a free 1 year full coverage insurance when I bought the bike.

Will they fit cb650f too?
By the looks of it (where they are mounted), it should not be any different on the cb.
They do have the inscription "CBR" though, but maybe you don't mind.
Hi again. Yes fit the 650F. No warping or pin issues after the crash. I just unscrewed the base and attached a new set. They come as a set of two so new all around was in order. They are quite heavy and weigh I would guess a kilo plus total for the set. Not just one bolt through the frame but three really adds strength but just the one bolt on the actual bumper in case it needs detach as in my case.
No inscription CBR at all.
The question was referring to the T-Rex ones, not the ones you showed.
Never tried the others but I can vouch for the LSL : they aren't perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing (that being relative to taste but they are rather simple, no-nonsense pads) but they are excellent for what the pads are about : protecting the bike when needed. I had a crash with my bike and it slid for around 20/30 meters before hitting a border, the metal strap (on which the pad itself is screwed to get two fixation points) was bent, the pad was deeply abraded, I lost the front-left light indicator light and the end of my clutch lever but the fairings had only a few scratches and I could continue to ride immediately. Since unbending the strap and changing the pad, I rode a thousand km without a hitch and they'll clearly last at least as long as the bike.
Do you have any pics after the crash, need to see what actually got damaged
The parts from DPM are more expensive but very high quality.
I use the crash pads from DPM on my CB650R.
