I've got the Yamaha OEM engine bars, the first set broke (same as everyone else's) but the new ones have been on the bike since May and so far so good, I've not seen any reports of the replacement ones going. They are a slightly different design, so hopefully this has resolved the issue.

You could go for the OTR full width bash plate (like what Jenny has, but mayb less yellow!) they look pretty well put together, and more importantly, they don't use the same mounting points (these are pretty weak)
