Case savers make it easier to pick up the bike if, say for example, it decides to take a nap.

Case savers better than frame sliders? I like frame sliders but they are a bit out of character for this bike. I think case savers might be the way to go.

The tapatalk one is way better. Well done.

I think case savers look better and go with the retro look of the CB better than sliders. Younger folks may well think other wise. At least we have choices.

I gotta stop looking at matching side covers. Those are very very nice.

I know what you're saying; they definitely carry more of the retro look, and are actually probably better protection-wise. But I'm not a "younger folk" (far from - ha!) and I've just never been a fan of the way they look. In fact, when we were kids, we called them "old man bars" (no offense intended to anyone here sporting them, of course!).
I ended up going with the Moriwaki frame sliders because they'll certainly help if the need arises, and they're a lot less obtrusive looking. Mind you, this is just one man's opinion - as you stated, it's nice that we've got these choices!

I agree that engine guards can detract from the looks of a bike, but many of the ones for the CB are fairly low profile:



And then there are these:

Wait........where is the matching Comet fairing, surely on back order?
