When you install the R&G protectors, you should adjust your steering stops on your triples so that it doesn't touch until the R&G protectors have been slightly compressed. So when you waggle the bars back and forth it should be knocking against the R&G protectors and not the steering stops. The idea is to spread the impact load so that the R&G protectors take the hit first and only in a really hard hit where the R&G protectors are compressed does it then hit the steering stops on the lower triple. If it hits hard enough to do that, then there's nothing that can be done to prevent that kind of damage. The bike is designed so that the triple clamps will break before the frame does, since it's a lot less expensive to replace the triples. So since your triple clamp broke from the impact on the steering stops, I'd say either you didn't have them adjusted so that the R&G protectors hit first, or if you did then the impact was hard enough they it was more than the R&G protectors could absorb.
I have them installed on my bike, I think they're a good product, but they won't protect all damage, they're just a "helper" so that in a minor impact there's less chance of breaking the triples.
