Description
The SW-MOTECH crash bars engine guards for Honda CB500X ’13-’15 provide protection to the frame engine radiator and other critical components in the event of a fall or tip over. High strength tubular steel construction uses large 27 mm tubing for impressive strength that will keep the bike safely off the ground to minimize possible damage. The bars are powder coated black for an attractive and durable finish that also resists corrosion. Installation is straightforward and 100% bolt-on. No drilling cutting welding or other modifications are necessary. Invest in proper protection for your CB500X from the protection experts at SW-MOTECH!
Features:
- High strength 27mm tubular steel construction
- Durable powder coated black finish
- Maximum protection against falls and tip-overs
- Mounts directly to the frame
- Crossbar improves structural stiffness & strength
- Protects radiator frame engine and other critical components
- 100% Bolt-on installation no drilling cutting or other modifications required
- Designed and engineered in Germany
What’s in the box:
- Left and right side crash bars
- Mounting hardware
- Installation instructions
Important note: The Honda CB500X requires special caution when removing the forward lower engine mounts. Even with the remaining engine-mount bolts still in place removing both forward mounts will cause the engine to sag in the frame. How do we know? We tested the SW-Motech Engine Crash Guards (click here for the 2016 CB500X application) and the SW-Motech Aluminum Skid Plate Engine Guards on a 2016 CB500X and had difficulty installing the mounting hardware. In fact the frame/engine misalignment made it impossible to insert either the accessory hardware or the stock bolts and spacers. The misalignment is reduced if you remove only one engine-mount bolt at a time but the real solution is to support the engine from below any time you remove the mount bolts.

Adventure guy –
Bought these for my wife’s bike so it could fall over on camping trips and we could laugh about it. I just easily installed them (to correct torque specs) and we have yet to laugh about needing them but I’m sure they’ll be great. These are beautifully and thoughtfully manufactured. Simple, clean and well powder coated.

Good fit and finish. Good upper engine protection. A great place to mount auxiliary lighting. Over all a good value.

They look good on the bike and protect the engine well.
My only concern is that one side bolt somehow came loose and broke and in the process I lost the 2″ spacer.
I ordered new parts, paid for them and shipping and received the right bolt but the wrong spacers.
Took over a month to get the wrong parts . Not impressed
Not sure I will bother ordering again, looking for an alternative.
