Will definitely save scraping the engine covers. I should know as scraped mine before buying these 😂

Thanks for watching, greatly appreciated

Cheers Mark, glad you find it so! Regards Andrew

Pleased it’s useful Philippe, keep safe

Thanks for the feedback, you are so right in considering peace of mind, and my decision was based on dropping the bike on Salter Fell trail ride (there’s a video on the channel) which did scratch the clutch cover..so this made me think what could protect it without putting heavy bars on..and although a bit expensive they are top quality and a casual observer wouldn’t know they were added to bike. Anyhow I’m having a beer and food before I go to bed, wild camping up in Scotland and it’s starting to get cold so all the best and ride safe, regards Andrew

Thank you Eric 👍🏻

@@ledat1471 Thank you.. I can say for sure no scratching to any surface under the covers, there’s a slight gap so they don’t sit directly on engine surface so won’t scratch it, and having sold the bike I’ve recently removed to put in new NX500 I bought so can be certain! Possibly if they touched the engine it could happen like your friend suggested but these don’t touch so all good 👍🏻

Yes, not cheap but if they work then worth the money and I guess like bars they are a bit of peace of mind...I’m wild camping up in Dumfries and Galloway area tonight, just having a beer, cheers and salami 😆 👍🏻

The Camping Biker - nice one buddy, enjoy and safe riding matey. 👍

MrDazza64 you too Dazza, this is the life isn’t it 😊 👍🏻

The Camping Biker - sure is pal. 🤣👍

The case covers are well worth it and unless you knew they were there you wouldn’t know (if that makes sense 😂) I’ve subsequently fitted Hepco and Becker fairing bars to work with the engine covers and engine guard to give a more complete protection. The Barkbuster handguards also help to protect so overall I’m really happy with the outcome. Have a look at the fitting video 👍🏻 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLp-iq6pr5qnaGQ.html

Thanks 2wheel, appreciate your support 👍🏻 I think RR actually mean the upper engine protection bars from R&G as they use the same engine mounting point! The case covers don’t have any effect on the RR guard, so I’m fairly certain they have just got their wording mixed up😆 👍🏻

Hopefully, I won’t find out 😂 I guess it’s just extra protection to the lower protection of the lower RR guard and upper H&B crash bars and should at least stop scraping the engine covers as I did before fitting 😂 👍🏻

Which one did you buy?

@@DanTube2010 Aramox Universal Wind Deflector.It is very good up to 55mph then ear plugs needed.Does reduce buffeting.Spent the afternoon getting the position right.

sorry Stuart, forgot to respond and just re checked!! Most of the time i'm happy with screen but like everything it's a compromise! Only time i find it a pain is on motorways and have thought of screen extender but held off for now and just put up with it...i don't personally want a bigger screen but guess for commuting that could be an answer...how have you got on since original message?

I’ve checked a couple of times since fitting and no issues or loosening…I also do a shake down in mid winter and just check throughout the bike but they’ve never needed tightening 👍🏻

Yes, it will fit as no design change on engine 👍🏻

I’m really not sure with this covid as currently facing further restrictions in UK 🇬🇧 but I’ll start considering it again after Next spring 👍🏻 keep safe, regards Andrew

Thank you! I look forward to hearing more about your trips and videos. Best wishes from Hungary.

István Őri many thanks...Hungary is one of those places I hope to visit 👍🏻

While you could never 100% say for sure I think there’s a good chance they will take the brunt of the impact and therefore take out the momentum of the collision. also there’s a slight gap between cover and case which also goes some way to reduce the risk. Hope that helps a bit and you could also carry JB Weld in the unlikely event of damage to the cover..lots of travellers carry it for emergencies 👍🏻

Certainly do :)

Hi Mark, mine is a 2019 model 👍🏻

Yes, no difference with fitting

Thank you for the feedback....the torque wrench is a Halfords branded one, Halfords are a motor accessory shop in the UK 👍🏻

@@thecampingbiker791 Merci .

No, perfectly fine..has spacers and a small air gap behind

​@@thecampingbiker791 ok, thanks for answering. Unfortunately there are no crash bars that cross over the clutch cover. There are some that are close, some that cross over the engine cover on the left side but, none seems to do so on the right side. And I don't understand why because that would provide perfect protection and this plastic covers would not even be needed. I think the engine sides and bottom needs to be protected in the 1st place and then the plastic fairing. The RR skid plate but, doesn't go over the engine covers. The R&G Crash bars seem to be better in this respect but, they don't offer a matching skid plate and would probably be difficult to fit one from another brand. Outback Motorteck offers a complete set but still, does not go over the side engine cases. So, kind of hard to find the perfect solution for this bike. :)

@@handleby no problem and I agree, there isn’t a perfect solution with everything a compromise! I think because the bike is basically modeled on a road bike and priced at a relatively budget price, it can be difficult to get the right solution! Obviously it’s also very personal and my set up seems to do the job….let’s hope the new Transalp (if it happens) comes set up with full protection as you describe… 😆

​@@thecampingbiker791 yeah, would be nice to see a new Transalp like bike, something like a CB650x with a bit more offroad focus. Yes, I also think that is the reason, Honda did not think people would take this bike so far of the pavement so they don't offer the same level of crash protection as they do for the AT :)

@@handleby think you’re right, probably been much more used off road than anticipated…which is the sign this bike is a great little machine 😃

Excellent kit Justin, sometimes it’s just worth paying the money for the quality 👍🏻

Everyone to there own Robert 👍🏻
