Here are some common guards and protective parts for motorcycles


Crash Bars: Crash bars, also known as engine guards or frame sliders, are metal bars installed on the sides or front of the motorcycle's frame. They provide protection to the engine and bodywork in the event of a fall or crash, minimizing damage.

Handguards: Handguards are mounted on the handlebars and provide protection for the rider's hands and controls. They shield the hands from wind, debris, and branches, and also offer some protection in case of a fall or impact.

Skid Plate: A skid plate is a protective metal plate installed on the underside of the motorcycle. It helps prevent damage to the engine and other vital components from rocks, debris, and rough terrain.

Fork and Swingarm Sliders: Fork sliders or fork protectors and swingarm sliders are designed to protect the front forks and swingarm, respectively, from scratches and damage in the event of a slide or fall.

Frame Sliders: Frame sliders are typically mounted on the sides of the motorcycle's frame, providing protection to the bodywork and critical components like the engine and suspension in case of a crash or slide.

Crash Pads: Crash pads, also known as axle sliders or axle protectors, are installed on the front and rear axles of the motorcycle. They help protect the wheel hubs and swingarm in case of a crash or tip-over.

Engine Covers: Engine covers are protective covers that can be installed on the engine casing to prevent damage in case of a crash or impact.

Radiator Guards: Radiator guards are metal grilles or protective plates that shield the motorcycle's radiator from impacts, stones, and debris while maintaining proper airflow for cooling.

Chain Guard: A chain guard covers the motorcycle's drive chain, providing protection to the rider and preventing debris or loose clothing from getting caught in the chain.
