Wanted XJ550 Maxim Engine Guards

Looking for engine guards/crash bars, whatever you want to call them. Here’s a link to what I’m thinking about

Edit: If anyone knows if bars off other XJ bikes would fit my ‘82 550 Maxim, I’d appreciate the knowledge!

 

Hi Vika, we do have both 2-point and 3-point (like in the auction you pictured) in stock.

Also, be aware that we provide the correct mounting hardware for each particular bike, whereas the factory-supplied hardware that comes with the crash bars is somewhat "universal" and typically leaves you without some of the proper fasteners!


CRASH GUARDS:

Also known as engine guards or “case savers”, these guards provide a level of protection to the engine crankcase and in particular the forward side covers against scratches or fractures in the case of minor spills, unanticipated bike drops, etc.

Be aware though, that in the case of a high-speed or violent crash, all types of engine guards are designed to be the “sacrificial lamb”, and will most probably be damaged to some extent, and may be destroyed beyond use, or, depending on the severity of the event, may not protect the engine or bike frame from damage.

NOTE: guards typically will not fit bikes with factory side fairings (XJ650 Turbo, XJ750D, or XJ750 Seca models using the large factory “sport” fairing with the lower wind-deflector “legs”, and may or may not accept “forward controls” systems.



2-point “Mad Max” Mounting Guards:

These “Mad Max” style guards are a great lower-cost guard, and provide a basic level of protection against slow-speed spills, unanticipated bike drops, and other such minor catastrophes. One 7/8” diameter main u-shaped tube is cross-braced by 3 smaller half-tubes and forms an imposing “face-mask” around the lower front engine area. Beautifully chrome-plated, they’ll intimidate your opponents while performing their job with style and grace.

Please note that these 2-point mounting crash guards are nowhere near as strong and protective as the Road-Rage style (3-mounting points) guards listed further below.

3-point “Road Rage” Mounting Guards:

These “Road Rage” style guards are the strongest guards available, and will provide an exceptional level of protection against minor spills, unanticipated bike drops, etc. And they look like they mean business, even while your bike is parked! Three separate frame mounting-points insures strength, while the three cross-braced, 1” diameter, show-chrome-plated tubes creates a tough, formidable barrier around the lower engine area.
