I think they look pretty nice.
181 Euros from Nippy Norman.
Easy to install if you have a T50 fitting.
Took five minutes... because I wanted to savor the moment! ^-^

`Plastic' - that's true RTman10, looks neat but will disintergrate on impact and afford nothing in the way of protection.....

Re: Installed new X-Head Cylinder Guards
I fitted these to my 2014 RT almost as soon as I got it, they work very well. I have dropped the bike twice since with no damage to the valve covers. But look out for the fixing you can easily over tighten the cover screws because there no allowance for the thickness of the plastic - I made 1/8" spacers...

Videos prove otherwise.

Re: Installed new X-Head Cylinder Guards
Well here's the left side of my bike after being dropped twice (luckily both times on the same side which meant I only had to repair the same pannier twice) - not bad. But like I said watch out for the mounting, don't over tighten those valve cover screws - or make some spacers.

Looks nice, I've got these on my RT, but will be fitting Wunderlich front and rear crash bars, just in case.......

The scaffolding is to protect the head guards.
Next it'll be stabilisers to protect the scaffolding...
