Its early and I know there aren’t any SRF specific parts yet but I was wondering if anyone had found handguards, crash bars, frame sliders that work for the SRF?

Crash bars are not generic, so that will take time.

I know the swingarm has threaded holes for spools, at least.

The frame tubing up front is 29mm diameter (20mm for the smaller tubes) IIRC.

Handguards should be easier to source, and might carry over from the SR. The bar end inner diameter is likely 14mm like the SR.

Yes, it is M8 x 1.25.
I installed a set of spools and it makes it really easy to raise the back (one man operation) with a Moto-D swingarm stand.

(one man operation) with a Moto-D swingarm stand.

I am curious about the one man operation process.  Do you put the bike in its kick stand and then pick it up with the swingarm stand?
I would LOVE to have the floating stand so I can park it right against the wall without having to make 17 back and forth movements to get there (and out)

Correct! I put a wooden block under the kickstand to make the bike more vertical, because if it is too angled, you'll have trouble.
Then, you position the swingarm stand to catch the spools and while you push down on the stand to lift the bike, you hold it by the "handle" next to the passenger seat.

I was a bit concerned when I tried it the first time (following Moto-D directions) but I quickly realized it was safe.
The key element here is having the bike just slightly tilted when you are ready to lift it, not the large tilt normal when on the side kickstand with nothing under it.
