WTB Engine Guard for GL500
Reply Quote
Looking for engine guard bars for my '82 GL500I.  Info says same bars as CX500, but not the GL650.  Some "pretty used" ones on bid-bay that will probably go for $50-60 with s&h.

For the GL's, the 650's is slightly larger, ...
(the forward engine hanger is different between the 500 / 650)
I do believe some styles have been slightly adjusted to fit each, though.

If you look at several silverwing pictures, you'll see just the upper engine guard to fuller lower loop designs. Just wondering if you had a preferance...?
Couple GL's and CX650 ... everythings in work....

Haven't done a lot of research, so don't have a preference yet. Not really looking for great big setup that supports highway pegs and the like, mainly just want to protect the engine from road rash.

There was an excellent post on this site with pictures for each model's engine guards. Google- guards and gl-500 and you will find it. There are slight differerences in mounting. Also the hardware is available as I just ordered some to mount a pair of used honda guards on my bike. DES
