Default Crash "Cage" for 2 smoke pipes

So I'm watching Dingo's video from the South African hare scrambles and I notice that MANY of the bikes are sporting a beefy looking crash cage around the exhaust protuberances on their two strokes.

I then wonder why it appears that no US manufacturer or even privateer has employed such a device. I can't say that I've ever seen one on a US bike.

Anyone know of a good pic where I can see better how those things mount up? It seems like a better solution than strapping a chunk of alu to the pipe since what happens for me (and daily for my buddy ) is not so much dents, but the neck of the pipe gets pushed back into the frame and interferes with radiator hoses, doesn't align properly with hangers, exhaust port etc.

I'm sure I can weld something similar up and intend to do so, but some examples might help me envision.
