I normally ride in wooded areas and would like to find out if there is anything available for the Talon to line the front fender wells so trees cannot poke through and hurt some one.
There are already to many stories of people getting hurt.

Agree, I got Ricochet skid plates and requested some custom cut aluminum plates for the P500. Simple but some piece of mind.

You might call PBR products, I did see that they have a lower door kit on sale. They are good people and I would bet they could make some for the Talon.

I have not seen anything commercially but a local fab shop could easily bend some alum. and use it as an inter fender well. Not 100% coverage most likely but would be way better.
Could also line the floor inside with alum (or steel if you really want HD protection) - maybe easier

i need some too... this weekend i had a 6 in dia log go through the front passenger side into the tunnel and up to my gages. when trying to remove it i could see the gages move around.... was a close call. it didnt seem to damage much. the passenger foot area was smashed in a bit on top. have not removed hood and what not to get to back of dash yet but every thing still works so cant be to bad.

I slow down in the areas with lots of wood on the ground. The Teryx had lots of problems with broken floor boards so the KRX has lots of armor. Yamaha had some problems too. I hated the welded in steel skid plate on my last Yamaha. There is some thick aftermarket skid plates for the Hondas. With passengers you should slow down and be extra safe so you don't hurt anyone.
