GIVI TN1121 Engine Guard - Top Pick for Honda CB500X Riders Review

It's a bit of a hassle to line it up perfectly when putting it on, but they do the job and look great doing it. The girth makes the bike feel a bit bigger and now I have room for a cup holder 👌

Strong motor protection that is relatively easy to install. I searched the web for alternative installation instructions that were much simpler than the ones that came with Givi. Some people have mentioned vibration from the engine guard at higher RPM's which I haven't found. Overall, I can't think of a single aspect that was less than expected.

I just didn't use them - I didn't like the way they look anyway and the whole point of this is to protect the real bike anyway. 3) The instructions are very unclear as to which side is which, but it's pretty easy to calculate. Simply measure the left or right bolts…

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
