As stated above, yes. They are T-rex frame and fork sliders.
Since there seems to be so much interest in the sliders, here is my review.
I bought them pretty early on in their development apparently, and ran into some fitment issues when installing. The threaded rod for the fork sliders was too big to fit through the axel and the frame sliders werent cut right and wouldn't fit where they bolt betwen the frame and engine.
I was able to modify the frame sliders with a dremel and now they fit fine. It was an easy fix and took 5 minutes. I contacted T-rex about the rod, and they immediately sent me the right size, no charge of course. I still had to trim the length, but again it was an easy fix with the dremel.
So far, I haven't had any trouble with clearance and I've had the bike pretty far leaned over. I don't see them causing any problems when cornering. I think the tires will let go before the sliders touch down enough to cause an accident.
I think they have fixed the fitment issues since then, and their customer service was good, so I would recommend them to others. I haven't tested the sliders yet, thankfully, but they seem like they would help in the event of a crash. I'll let you guys know how they do when that day eventually comes.
