Not a slim, but +1 for bung king. Low profile and doesn’t look gaudy. I have one on my sport glide. This is the 2 step engine guard from Bung King, meant for use on m8 softails with fowards/boards.
if you get one now, BK is running a 20% off everything sale currently.
Where does it say 20%? I want a set of the rear crash bars but I don’t see any discount... :-(
Edit: never mind, I’m. A big dope. Right there on the front page. Duh.

Oh snap someone has this. Mind if I ask how close to keeping the primary cover off the pavement that crashbar comes?
I got it saved in my wishlist.
I think you are going to see a variety of results from different crashes, different bars. Like Moose, I got mine for a foot sliding out at a stop on an errant oil or sand spot, or a stupidity based parking lot drop. If it goes down at any real speed, then that's what insurance is for...
Knowing that no two crashes are alike I would not hold pictures of a single crash as the rule of thumb with bars like the BK. There are two great videos on youtube one of which is the accident and the bike goes down and slides, the other is the Aftermath. Do I expect this to happen every time? No, but like @Mchad and @Moose328 I got mine for that oops moment, and I have seen a few of those almost was in one myself and it only cost me a partially torn hamstring saving the bike.
I'm torn between the traditional engine guard and the mustache guard for my 15' slim. leaning toward the mustache guard.
Personally I think Mustash looks more aggressive on the fatter looking bikes.
Lindby's mustache version will probably be the best looking on a 15 Slim, depending on the bike's color. But it is rather expensive though.
