The key with the Hyde is to glue or silicone the mounts to the frame so they stay in position when you take it off. It is definitely a love/hate relationship though, especially on the newer bikes when you have to heat and mold it to fit around the pipe properly. With mine I just ran a large hose clamp around the lowest center part of the pipe and guard, and heated the guard with a heat gun while tightening the hose clamp. Then I just left the clamp on for a couple rides to make sure it was going to stay put, and now it's fine. Hard to beat the pipe protection though. I still want to try some spray foam in the gaps to make a fitted piece to keep mud, etc. out.
