Highway pegs/sliders question

[the_undecider_imp]

I have the Moriwaki sliders I purchased from Mr. T. They stick out enough for me to put my feet up on them, but are too slick to offer a secure footing. Replacing the slider portion with something grippier might work, but would like impact the effectiveness of the slider. Clamping a set of pegs like Kuryakens would achieve only half of your objective since they'll fold up and not protect anything in the event of a tipover.

I think the SW Motech engine guards look the best since they blend with the frame tubes. You can then attach highway pegs to the guards. Twisted Throttle sells the guards and brackets/pegs:
