I'm using the factory case guards from Yamaha. I believe these are the
same as Holeshot's. I'm missing my little 'V' on one of them so I took
the other off too. I'm also using a rubber foot pad I got from Captain
Dennis Kirk which fit pretty nice. This is what it looks like

I have laid my bike down twice now, both do to poor footing on sand at a
stoplight. They certainly do save your side cases from damage. Laying
it down at speed is different story. I suspect they will just twist
inward but still provide some protection for the cases. I found the the
single mounting bolt on the bottom tab which the lower Y section is
welded to is a good design. It allows the case guard to bend at that
point rather than the frame bending or twisting. Each time I laid it
down, the bracket bent at that point. It was easy to bend back and
regain symmetry.
The footpads are there for the occasional leg stretch. I hardly use
them.
