Something I considered making/having made was a pair of 'skid bars', which would mount where Murph's tip over bars mount now, but would be solid steel strips instead of the bars. I figured I'd include a 'crossover' bar that would screw into the upper front mounts for the side fairings. That way, if the bike was at speed, the front crossover bar would resist the tendency of the bars to bend backwards when they hit pavement.
Kinda hard to explain, but imagine two 1/2" flat, 2" or so wide steel strips in a 'v' configuration to either side of the fairing, angled to land parallel with the pavement when the bike goes over on it's side, with tubes/strips extending from the engine mounts and the front fairing mounts, inside of the steel strips. The crossover bar would wrap in front of the radiator, utilizing the fairing mounts. Again, to resist tearing/bending forces when the steel strips hit pavement at speed. Essentially, six points or more of attachment to the frame (3 per side).
I figured I'd secure the strips to the mounting bars with lynch pins or some such, to allow you to remove the steel strips easily (you still would need to unbolt the crossover bar attached to the front fairing mounts though), so that you could easily remove the side panels without having to unbolt the skid bar mounts.
I never did get around to making this, and my fairings have paid the price.
