Honda Chrome Engine Guards now availabe in U.S.

[Headbanger02_imp]

If and when I get me a set it will be the black, I like how it looks like it is part of the frame and blends in nicely, the chrome in my opinion takes away from the nice golden color that I have learned to love on my headers (not in the beginning), I kinda do worry about the engine mount part of it, but the other two mounts kind of cancels that out in my mind, if that make sense, I wonder if it would be worth it to somehow modify that part out, such as cut the motor mount off at the bracket and touch up the ends with a sharpie or something...

I would not worry about the one motor mount attachment point. If you had a set of SW Motech crash bars in your hands you would understand why. They are very solid. The forces needed to defeat the crash bars and bend or break the engine mounting point would have to be enormous. The frame itself would be bent and you'd probably be looking at a total loss crash.

Lets hope nobody goes there.

On the other hand, the bars should work great in the event of a tip over or a low side crash.

I am loving mine. I'll post a picture or two later today if I can get out.

I should add that I have the 2013, if I had the 14 with silver engine I would want, probably go with chrome guards....
