The lower R&G crash bungs don't require bodywork modification but the upper ones do. It's a case of drilling a hole in the fairing infill panel. I don't know of any upper crash bungs that don't require some for form of modification to the bodywork on 2001 RSV mille.
You could try rhinomoto ones from AF1

Just a warning about "no name" sliders (and probably other products) I had "ebay" sliders on my R1 when I binned it at brands , cost me a frame , tank and a myriad of other bits. Fast forward a year and I had R&G upper and lower slider when I got nerfed off again at Brands...........................rode the bike home that night and to work the next day.
Take from that what you may but I wouldn't trust any non "no name" safety kit.

i have had R&G products fail on me twice now, with very expensive consequences... they all use the same grade nylon, it's purely down to design on an individual bike basis
I only referenced R&G as thats what I had fitted, they may/may not all use the same nylon but the fitting kits seem suspect, plus you have no come back.
and yes I accept that R&G and any name brand for that matter can and do fail.

i had and still have R & G's when i lowsided my rsv last year at about 40mph up the cat n fiddle. only needed new clutch lever and footpeg. oh and the exhaust was a bit bent abd a scratch on the tail. glad i had them on or would have been a lot worse
I did see some which were advertised as fitting without having to mod the fairing - they were on a bracket which came out from behind the fairing to give a mounting point. Sorry, can't find the link now. Frankly though, banging down a quarter of a ton of bike and rider onto some bungs with a 3-4" moment of force from the mount does not seem like sound mechanical sense to me.

exactly, I know the ones made like that for R1's were bending and the end of the bracket was punching a hole in the side of the engine!!!!!!
