Excellent video and great product - I'm going to order one for my new bike which is coming early next year- I'm really excited !!!!
That is a gorgeous piece of work
Nice to find a skid plate with engine guard combination.
I will be back in touch after this bike arrives in the US.
Well done, engineering is well thought out.
Great video guys! A question for you then. Is the engine guard compatible with the upper Givi side crash bars? Question regarding the 2019-2020 model.
Very helpful video for explaining how to do this job. Much appreciated. I own a 2022 and look forward to being able to get a radiator screen =)
Glad it helped
hi Adam, great upgrade indeed, Would the Givi high engine guard fit in conjunction with your lower engine protection? or even better, What would you recommend?
Hi looks great. Can you please tell me if you can make in chrome or matt finish aluminium to order?
Think you meant 268 on the loctite. Thanks for such a great video… I’m currently on a gs but coming over to the cb500x this year and will definitely be ordering parts from your line! Thx
We use 248 as its not as strong it suits trail use. However still like 268 on certain items that require a stronger lock
How important is the skid plate, what are the chances to damage things going off-road - considering to be more careful not to hit something directly from bottoming out - can smaller rocks, gravel damage anything on stock cb500x? I've gone offroad few times and it is so much fun, just I keep thinking about rocks jumping below it :)
On the website now I have two options for model 2013-2016 and 2017-2018 . Which one is good for 2022 model ?
Are these available in the USA? Never have seen one just curious looks like an awesome bike.
Would it be possible to make a future design that works with a Center stand?
Very nice !
Can you mount the center stand whit the guard ?
What is the ground clearance with this plate mounted on a 2022 model ?
I wonder if it will be possible to increase the ground clearance with your suspension mod!! I've been thinking of "downgrading" from my mt07 to the new cb500x, it looks greate!!!!
We will be addressing this in a video shortly, despite the enhanced look of the new front forks they are very basic and almost less tuned to being modified in this way
Great videos! I hadn't realized the skid plate doubled as an engine guard. That's a nice touch. Glad to see the 2019 version still fits. How hard is it to do an oil change with this skid plate? Are there access ports to the drain plug?
To do an oil change you can just remove the pivot pin and loosen the front bolts a little. The guard then swings down for access
Hi, can you tell me if your cb500x engine upper and lower guards/sump guards fit the new NX500?
Nice!
Thanks for the video! It would be wonderful if you could leave a link for us to buy the protections? 🙏
Www.rally-raidproducts.co.uk
Where can I buy???
can you still use the center stand? looks nice!
Sorry but we use the centre stand mount for our engine guard and therefore its not compatible. This is why ours is the only frame mounted option.
How's your engine and engine bolt before and after installing? I'm quite afraid to install the crashbar of mine, since you've said that the front cradle slightly flex forward under the weight of the bike, how was it? And how am I suppose to avoid that one? Should I use jack in it under the oil pan, is it safe? Hehe
i'm scared too. did you do it?
Does the engine guard keep the upper plastic parts protected during a drop. Cannot find any drop tests or actual video showing whether or not upper plastic parts are protected.
did you find an answer to this? this is a good question
No protection of the exhaust system or bottom of the engine. The CB500S is an adventure bike, use for some off road riding. I preferred T Rex crash/engine guard, radiator guard and their heavy duty skid plate. It also has a removal plate to allow oil filter change. .
Hi, you have a link? Thanks
Hi Adam, just checked your web site it states cannot fit main stand with engine guard yet your video says you can. Which is correct as I need the centre stand. Thank you.
Where in the video does it say this? I beleieve I was referencing the bike stand used to lift the bike in the workshop. Just to confirm no the centre stand is not compatible
@@rallyraidproducts1927 Hi Adam, I am sorry I mistook what you said for fitting a center stand via the center stand bolt and mount.
I do not see this product on your website
Pity we cant get your products in Australia unless you pay huge postage.
hi, I bought the cb500x m.y. 2022. I would be interested in buying your engine guard, but on your site I have only found one model for versions up to 2018 (Honda CB500X Engine Guard RRP 437). this engine guard can also be installed on the m.y. 2022? thank you
if possible you can send me the link for the CB500X m.y. 2022?
@@guglielmocostanza8220 rrp 747 is the 2019 + model however currently on back order due to high demand
I found it, thank you for the answer
Comparing to the vstrom650xt do you think it the cb500x is a wise choice, considering all the mods?
I think the vstroms are probably more comfortable in terms of their size for road touring, but for an all terrain adv touring machine I would take the CB for its compact platform, clearance and range of mods
Good design, I've seen bikes written off because the crash bars bent the frame or fractured the engine casting. Without the crash bars the bikes would have been repaired.
Can i instal this part if my bike has main stand?
Sorry, but it is not compatible with a center stand
Calling it anything but the 2022 model is confusing.
Where is the link guys?? Come on, I have my wallet out, I just need to see where to buy it lol..
I think Matt black looks more promising than Red one..
Have to ask the skid plate might be functional but it's a seriously ugly piece of kit, why doesnt it cover the lower front of the exhaust by the hedders??? Such a shame as src moto looks fantastic but is not as durable... Would of been great if you guys made a hybrid of yours and src moto, like the t rex skid plate...
Mainly because the headers are more than strong enough to deflect non weight bearing impact. Bringing the guard so much further forward adds even more leverage and results in a weaker, heavier guard.
@@rallyraidproducts1927 yeah I get that, central load point... Question do you think a custom made exhaust running along side of the bike could work like how most lighter off road bikes are or would it be a waste of time in your opinion?
@@porter5877 Its always an option, any ground clearance gained is a positive. However here is the UK and Europe its a pretty big headache / risk running straight through pipes etc. The sump is one of the lowest parts regardless of the pipe and catalytic converter, but some clearance could be gained in theory
@@rallyraidproducts1927 thanks for taking the time and yeah I thought it be a headache, such a shame honda didn't make a crf400 rally with 40bhp and 165kg max not like the new 300 rally which isn't even 300cc ffs, African twin is just too heavy and the T7 is just outta my price range
