CB4ME....is the black an exact match as the frame, your pictures give me the impression that the guards are flat black?

They are semi-gloss black.

has anyone found these cheaper than $175 or so, like on eBay?

eBay $185 free shipping no tax

I wonder how well the OEM ones could be painted black, sand, primer, paint...would that work?

[Lord Popgun]

What about having them powder coated?

[Ridem32_imp]

Paint or powder coat would work fine.

To each their own, but I find on a black motor that already has a few chrome bits, the chrome guards don't look out of place any more than the cam end seals do. Helps balance out all that darkness on the 2014 standard.

I think the black 14 standard looks great as it is! It's mean looking

Thanks for the info on stock engine guards. I just bought a set for my '13 on ebay for 182.99. Any suggestions for highway pegs?
Thanks!

Your local Honda dealer can now order the OEM Chrome Engine Guards, 08P70-MGC-N20, $199.95


I like these over the aftermarket because they do not use the engine case mounting bolt. If you were to have a heavy tip-over with an engine guard mounted to the engine case bolt you could crack the engine case, resulting in BIG $$$$ to fix. Engine guards are there to PROTECT the engine, not INCLUDE the engine in the crash.
