  • PDF Instruction:
This purchase is for a set of engine guards for the above bike model. The sliders feature a new design of a complete solid puck without a hollowed-out center. This increases the strength and contact surface to about 30%. The pucks can be inexpensively replaced without purchasing a new set of steel guards. The steel tubing is bolted to the engine mount of the bike and the slider puck is bolted onto it. The steel tubing has two attachment points and braced together to prevent them from rotating in the event of a low side. The engine guards are braced together by a crossbar in order to increase its strength. The material of the puck is made of UHMW-PE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene), a tough plastic with good strength, wear resistance and dimensional stability. It is more dimensionally stable than Nylon and used in many industrial ball bearing and friction reducing applications. Compared to Delrin, it is softer but tougher. Delrin is harder but more brittle. It is an ideal material for engine guards/frame sliders since it can absorb more impact force onto itself and therefore reduce the impact on the bike. The slider pucks can be inexpensively replaced in case of a low-side. We use highest grade commercially available 12.9(177,000 psi in tensile strength) wherever possible. Rest assured that you are getting the best material commercially available.

5 of 5 These do work and aren't just for looks. May 6, 2019
Reviewer: bob from boise  
While ordering this cage I called to confirm that they would fit on a cb500f the operator wasn't sure so he gave me a deal if I had to return them, he also said that he would have the sliders changed from the cb500x written on them to cb500f. Well they went on without any issues other than they were a little close (not touching) about a little less than a pinky width away from the radiator shroud plastics (I think this is close due to the nature of the cage and it's purpose to bend and absorb impacts). I don't know if this is an issue on a cb500x. My son did go down on the cb500f (yes he is fine) with the t-rex cage and sliders and I was impressed with the impact absorption of the sliders. You can see the deformation of the slider due to the impact and it stood up to the slide as well. He low sided the bike which slide into a jersey barrier which then caused it to high side and yet there was actually minimal cosmetic damage and no structural damage thanks to the sliders.

5 of 5 Saved my bike and my wallet! December 26, 2018
Reviewer: Road Trip and Dualsport Rider from Outside  
Purchased this about a year ago. It has saved my bike and wallet quite a few times. Definitely recommend protecting your bike with one of these engine guards. Easy install and covers more than the other options I've found. Great customer service. I plan to be a repeat customer.
