I have some of those plastic 'bark busters' on my TS185 which I do a lot of dirt riding. I have crashed it at least 25 times and have never broken a lever because the 'bark busters' take the impact. These would be a good option for when you bin off. Don't have your levers done up too tight either so when you crash they are more likely to move out of the way then break. Some motox guys I have talked to recomended putting teflon thread tape around the bars where the levers go on so that they move insted of break when you crash, I havn't tried this though.
What you can do is wrap 100mph tape around the frame, so that you don't have to carry a roll seperatly. Could do the same with copper wire. copper wire is good because it's quite soft so its easy to tie things up with.
