Others have reported that the 2-point case savers can fold over in a crash, even at low speed.

2 point only good for looks, if you like the looks of added bars. Do very little in the way of protection. I had the 2 point bars on one of my KZ650s years ago and had a low speed spill in a corner, the bar folded in and actually knocked off an oil gallery plug on the engine. I rode away and ran the engine out of oil.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
