SW-MOTECH Crash Bars / Engine Protectors

[rdprdp01]

Are the Honda ones as thick tube as the SW?

No, they are not. However, Honda makes a very good engine guard. It uses high-quality steel and has the Honda finish we all know and love. It is engineered to protect the engine. Here is an OEM picture for an engine guard which will fit my 2017 Cb110 EX:



The SW Motech is something of a hybrid engine guard / crash bar. It has thicker steel, more mounts, and higher tensile strength than the Honda equivalent. It is designed to protect the motorcycle and the rider. Note that it extends farther out. Some CB1100 owners find that design to be less aesthetically pleasing than the Honda OEM version Honda. I took this picture of my motorcycle for comparison:



Both products are great additions to a CB1100 base. I think the selection process is driven by aesthetics and desired level of protection. Both options cost about the same and are equally easy to install. I hope you find this additional information helpful. Best of luck. David
