unless you plan on running into trees i would think the flag guards will work fine, as far as levers i recommend wrapping the handlebars with teflon tape under the perches and leaving the controls loose enough to rotate in a fall but tight enough to stay in place while riding. that lets the levers move when they hit the ground.
i just tested that concept today after casing a double at elsinore, bouncing down to the flat then getting slammed to the ground and watching my bike flip in the air over me, i got up thankfully picked up my bike pushed the clutch lever back down and rode away.
