From the hugger thread I just happen to catch this.
Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

I have those. Yep, a bit pricey. They come with a 1/4" thick stainless steel plate that reinforces the rear footpeg subframe and extends to the exhaust mounting bolts, quite strong. Then the rather long slider attaches. It has saved me a few bag incidents in parking lot drops, can't speak for a higher speed get-off, but I suspect you'd want the MC Enterprise crash tubes.....

As a short-term temporary measure against a zero-speed tip-over, I've used two layers of duct tape over the lower part of the side cases:

And, yes, I did test it whilst manoeuvring in a ferry when the crew-man changed his mind where he wanted me to go, and as I turned for the new position my rear wheel caught on a raised deck tie-point and stopped the bike unexpectedly

.

The bag was undamaged, you can just make out scratches in the tape along the "crease" in the lid, but there was a scratch on the mirror. Maybe I'll put tape on the mirrors as well when I go ferrying in March next year.

I used black tape on my (pictured) Storm Grey '10, I've used silver on my '06. Once there's a bit of normal dirt on it, it's barely visible.
