PRODUCT NEWS Screen and hugger for CB500X SKIDMARX has launched a range of bodywork accessories for the new CB500X from Honda. Manufactured in Skidmarx’ factory, the tall screen, headlight cover and aerofoils are designed specifically for the CB500X, while the rear hugger will also fit the CB500F and CBR500R. The 10cm taller than standard screen is made from 3mm acrylic and is said to offer additional protection from wind and weather. The screen is available in clear and light or dark grey tints, and uses the existing mounting points and fasteners, so the height adjustment function is retained. A matching headlight cover is also available, which fits using 3M Dual Lock fixing pads (supplied). It is produced in clear (the only option legal for street use) with other tints and colours available on request. Designed to fill the gap between the screen and bodywork, aerofoils are said to deflect wind and weather away from the rider, and Skidmarx offers a choice of clear, light and dark tinted versions, supplied complete with a fitting kit. Created to offer under-body, shock and linkage protection, the Skidmarx rear hugger is produced in a choice GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) or carbon fibre. It is supplied with a tailor-made fitting kit that bolts directly to the existing mounting points. SKIDMARX Weymouth, Dorset, UK Tel: [phone] [email protected] www.skidmarx.co.uk
