X-Head's are injection molded in Xenoy, a polycarbonate and polyester alloy that is impact and temperature resistant. At 5mm thick, X-Heads provide wide coverage to protect both the valve and spark plug covers. Even a driveway drop will cause a bike to roll onto the face of the valve cover and X-HeadÔÇÖs wide shape helps to protect more area.
We have been very impressed with the strength and design of these X-Heads. They provide maximum protection for your vulnerable valve cover. The mounts are very solid and well designed. Includes stainless steel hardware.

I like the looks of the somewhat fully enclosed guard compared to the factory guard.
Has anyone had some experinece with these guards? The price also seems very reasonable.
