CB750F Super Sport engine guard

(1/2) > >>

Galea:
Hello, I am the new owner of a Honda CB750F Super Sport and I would like to fit an engine crash guard.  I saw some on ebay, but they were mounted at 2 points on each side and they seem to be likely to fold against the engine in the event of a crash or tip-over.  Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent pair of sturdier 3 point ones?  Thanks in advance  :)

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I think your concerns may be true in that if they are just a seperate cage fitted each side they can be bent backward on impact and case damage even to the engine mount casting.

The most relible that I know of are connected together across the front of the engine (under the exhaust/above the oil filter) as this tube gives a better load path to reduce the impact on the mounting points, one side effectively supporting the other.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with a current supplier as I'm looking at one that was fitted in the 80's but hopefully this will help with your search.

Galea:
Thanks for the welcome and advice, will keep on looking  ;)

The small engine bars now made in Italy and supplied by Dave silver are adequate for the normal fall over /gentle slide without damaging the cases. the bigger ones were "Hondastyle" made by Rickman and have not been made for many years now

Galea:
Thanks Bryanj, do you have a link to a picture of the bars supplied by David Silver and maybe their order number?
