I think what we are talking about here is crash bobbins, bungs, blocks, pads even.?

They are high density plastic bobbins that bolt on to the frame in various places, and prevent the bodywork and fittings scarping along the road if you have a spill. I know plenty of riders that swear by them and can bear testimony to how well they work. However they are on bikes with full fairings, not lumpy and bumpy like the Tiger?. It would need a bit of thought to find the right places to mount them.

Loads of manufacturers make them, just look in any accesories catalogue....
