Review on GIVI TN1121 Engine Guard - Top Pick for Honda CB500X Riders by Robert Espinoza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good protection and great looks. Crash test, dammit!

I get a lot of comments on her looks. They really enhance the look of the bike. And having found an icy patch on a ride a couple of weekends ago, I can rest assured that they will protect the bike from most damage, at least in a low-speed crash (I'm fine with that). on one side but otherwise intact. They've probably already paid for themselves! Installation was a bit fiddly, but that's ok. DO NOT remove all motor bolts at once. I've read that removing the motor with all the bolts removed to put everything back in place can be real PIA for a few people. Luckily I had the intuition to do page at a time, loose stuff, which probably saved me some swearing. All in all it's a great addition to the bike and handled a low speed crash admirably. I hope I can't update this review with a high speed crash review!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
