Sorry, I was too lazy to read the entire thread.

The usual crash parts for a race bike are:
-clipons
-case covers
-rearsets
-frame sliders
-swingarm sliders
-upper fairing bracket
-fairings (duh)
-levers
-possibly front axle sliders
-possibly tank and other miscellaneous sliders (like for an R6 and R1)

Putting all of those on your bike will likely save you a shitload of damage and repair costs when you fall. Plus, you should take off all of the miscellaneous unneeded pieces that are easily removed, like your high/low beam switches, head lights, turn signals, etc. Basically, look at your bike and think about which parts are fragile, which parts stick out, and which parts are completely useless... then take them off. It adds to preparation time if the bike is going to do double duty on the track and on the street... but it'll save you a lot of money.

It looks like Vortex doesn't even make covers for the R6's... Ed mentioned how well the stock cases hold up in crashes. The engine does not really stick out that far. He races without frame sliders too, because the side of the bike is so flat, nothing really sticks out (except the tank if it slides on the top half of the bike).
