Engine Guards on a '03 F650CS

[sudani]

Has anyone put engine guards on their F650? I'm thinking about it as a means to give the sides some protection should I set the bike down. I don't want to add luggage so there are few options that I know of to protect the bike. I laid it down once, gently, and bent the shifter, so I'm just trying to come up with something that should that happen again I don't bust something.

Your input is appreciated. This is what I'm thinking...Hepco Engine Guard. Any advice on doing this? Is it worth it?

Thanks,

Go ahead and put the crash bars on. There are no problems with that.

I would check Flea Bay. New crash bars for the CS seem to show up fairly regularly.

Ebay is exactly what I did. Can't beat half off the original price and if it helps, all the better.

Thanks!
