Yeah I have the rear bag guards but oddly the OEM type I have don't give me a damn thing to hang onto in the rear - I had the guys in the shop lay one over on carpet and show me how they would solo pick it up - nada one got it up lifting the safe way because they couldn't grip the rear. two guys faced the bike and up righted it but they put their backs in peril.

About 25 years ago I saw a tool for assisting in picking tipped over touring bikes.
Tool was sometimes carried by those teaching harley riding classes.
It would attach/clamp to the saddle bag guard rail in front of rear saddle bag.
A very quick clamp situation but it distributed weight over entire top of that rail...maybe 4 inches of clamp.
It was nothing more than about an 18 inch long pipe with a simple grip handle on one end and with a wide clamp to bolt onto that saddle bag rail.
The clamp was a quick jobber not a hand tools required deal.
It permitted a tremendous increase in leverage.
Something similar to attach to that point or maybe bolt to engine guard would be rather easy to carry but i have not seen it again.
Kinda/sorta like the old style engine guard pegs but with clamp being larger and instead of a peg with o-rings it was the 18 inch long pipe.
The pipe/tool fit perfectly at bottom of saddle bag....kinda like the storage pouches that fit in the slot at bottom of bag.
