The best thing you can do is educate your passenger not to drag their boot across them. A buddy has his wife put a nasty scratch on the top of one of his hard bags on a street glide.

I have riden over 5000 miles now and and not mark, chip or scratch.

Good luck

38K on my 2006, and now 16k on my 08, with no scratches, chips, or any otehr blemish. Its all about teaching the passenger HOW to mount the bike and Dismount.

I would think over time, these covers would do more damage than good?
