That was not a vendor. It was a member of the forum who was testing creating his own tip-over protection and testing to see how it worked. He was modeling it after the French "Top Block" design, since that brand is so expensive and can be difficult to obtain. Have not seen any activity on that thread in a while.

I would say it's a Russell Day Long.

The advantage of the Russell Day Long is that the seat will hit the ground before the bike itself so there is no need for tip over protection. ;D
