Default Shogun crash kit

I'm new here, I'm buying my first bike very soon, an 07 GSX-R600. It being my first bike, one of my primary concerns is protecting it since I'm probably a little more liable to drop it. I've been looking at frame sliders, and I saw the Shogun crash kit on kneedraggers.com (Shogun Crash Kit - Suzuki GSXR600 - KneeDraggers.com). Of course, the price immediately grabbed my attention (frame sliders, bar end sliders, and swing arm spools for the price of most stand-alone frame sliders), but deals like that tend to set off my BS-meter, so I'm wondering about the quality of Shogun's products. Also, their frame sliders are sold separately for $38, is it worth it to buy the whole Crash Kit for the bar end sliders and swing arm spools? And, if Shogun's products are no good, what would be a good alternative? (I've looked into the Puigs a bit, I saw them mentioned in another thread somewhere and they're also no-fairing-mod sliders.)

Thanks in advance.
