Customer Reviews
I installed the Evotech Crash Protection on my Honda CB1000R Black Edition and I am very impressed with the quality of the product.
The crash protectors fit the motorcycle perfectly, both technically and visually. They look like they were designed as part of the bike rather than added afterwards. The finish is excellent, the supplied bolts are very high quality, and the whole kit definitely feels like a premium product.
One important point is the installation. I would not describe this as a difficult job, but it needs to be done carefully and with the correct tools. The motorcycle should be standing perfectly upright, ideally supported with front and rear paddock stands. It is also very helpful to support the engine from underneath with a suitable jack to remove any load or tension from the engine mounting bolts.
Extra care is required when removing and reinstalling the bolts. If the engine is not properly supported and the bolts are misaligned, it would be quite easy to damage the threads.
You will also need the correct tools. The original Honda mounting bolt uses a conventional hex head, while the Evotech replacement bolt uses an Allen/hex socket, so make sure you have the correct size tool before starting. A torque wrench is also essential to tighten everything to the specified torque.
If you do not have the right tools or experience, I would recommend having the installation done by someone experienced. With proper preparation and the correct equipment, however, the installation goes smoothly.
Overall, I am very satisfied. Excellent fit, very solid construction, high-quality hardware and a design that suits the CB1000R perfectly. A genuine premium product.
I love the look of the rounded pucks on my CB1000R Black Edition, as they seem to add to the Neo Cafe look rather than stick out in an obvious way. The set I purchased actually replaced a previous set that worked perfectly in a recent crash. I hit a road obstacle that ended up with my bike falling pretty hard directly on the puck and sliding for a couple hundred feet. My bike’s frame actually bent, but the Evotech puck stayed put and was just ground down. Fortunately insurance covered a new factory frame, and I never had a doubt about what kind of protection was going back on the new one!
