Honda CB500X Crash Bars Installation 

Supreme Video. Thanks for sharing the torge specs for the bolts. That helped me out :)

This is a very nice installation video! It's really nice that you offer the complete package: crash bars (superior and inferior) and the skid plate! Could you also do a demo video, where you lie down the bike on both sides (just statically, not with the bike moving), just to see how what are the contact points with the ground, with the crash bars installed? One hesitation I have with these crash bars is that, on the lower side, they don't cross over the middle of the lateral engine cases to protect them in case there is a rock where the bike falls.

Very good video, I’m extremely happy with the product!

I'm really in love with this crash bar, can you guy's do the drop test as you did in other bikes models? I'm so close to buying ones but I would like to see a drop test. Love your products keep up the good work guys, much love from Portugal.

Thanks, I just installed mine. You guys made it so easy, it's so satisfying having a step to step video for the exact machine. I had trouble getting the one engine bolt lined up properly, but besides that, it was a easy to do task.

thx from Paris.

Why did you not make the cluster bracket with two ears?

Monted mine today, perfect fit 👌🏼, but i'm concerned about the reuse of the 10mm OEM bolts on engine/frame : the crashbars adds ~5mm in thickness which are no longer on engine threads. I'm considering changing this bolts for longer ones. What do you think about that?

by Medium strength Blue Loctite you mean? 242? all Loctites have a number, i an im sure others would like to know which one exactly to use. i have some 243 would that work aswell as 242?

Thank you for your detailed installation videos. I am wondering what is the weight of the crash bars? Thanks again.

The first OEM engine mounting bolt u mentioned with 55nm , is specced 60nm at my Honda dealership (2022 model - changed maybe?)

Can anybody please advice? I have a crash frame for Honda 600 and the instructions suggest to use OEM original bolt that mounts engine to frame. Now the extra thickness of the crash frame pad will reduce the bolt length inside the engine thread. Is that an durability issue? I would use bolt with extra 5mm in length but I guess it would be hard to find in store.

Because of the stress in pannier racks, I had some issues while mounting them. Now, I am worried about the movement of the frame/engine issue. What is the best way to avoid frame/engine moving when getting the bolt out, and what is the method to move the frame back if it moves and the hole on the engine doesn't align? Thanks.

On the right side of the bike it looks like the lower crash bar is almost even with the clutch cover. In this case, I don't know how much protection it can ofer to the clutch case. I would have liked to see images with the bike laid down on both sides to see what the contact points would be, at least on an even surface. In the end, that is why we buy these things, to protect the bike so, it would be nice to also see images of that.

How long is the engine through bolt? I have the SwMotech bash plate already installed and i'm trying to work out if i can get these bars on as well.

Hi! At min 8:27, where you comment on the bolt that might have some alignment issues, is that bolt from the crash bars kit or from the stock bike? I lost mine a couple of days ago and the official Honda dealership where I get the work done on the bike doesn't know where to get it from. Thanks!

Does this fit the 2022 model?

Has anyone found a solution to the gear shifter hitting the bars? At this point if I knew that was the case then I would've ordered a different brand. The website stating it can't be adjusted with the bars fitted makes it sound like you adjust it before fitting to where you want it. Not that you can't change gear at all once the bars are attached.

I have mounted mine just today, 2020 model. Unfortunately, there is one issue with it. If you move the shift lever higher (to use a touring boot), the crash bar will interfere with the shift rod, so much so that it will actually cause it to bed. You can see at 11:14 or 11:23, there is not a lot of clearance. Will reach out to Outback Motortek as well.

Will these fit on a 2016?

I bought this crashbar. Unfortunatelly the M10 nut was not included even though the manual says its included. What are the specs of this nut? Its nonstandard and I cannot find it in local shops. I was happy with the purchase until i noticed the crucial nut missing.

Looks good....can I get the link so I can order ?

18:11 it looks like their spacer fell out lol

Has anyone already tried to put these on 2022 model ?
