SRC Heavy-Duty Aluminium Skid Plate Engine Guard – Honda CB500X / NX500

3mm Premium Bash Plate | Full Exhaust & Crankcase Defense | Direct Bolt-On Trail Protection

Shield the vulnerable underbelly of your adventure tourer with the premium SRC Aluminium Skid Plate Engine Guard. Custom-engineered for Honda’s highly versatile mid-weight adventure platform—including the classic CB500X and the next-generation NX500—this heavy-duty bash plate is an indispensable upgrade for riders tackling rocky trails, gravel roads, and rugged backcountry terrain.

The low-hanging exhaust headers, oil filter, and engine crankcases on the 500cc parallel-twin engine sit completely exposed to devastating damage from flying rocks, tree stumps, and harsh bottom-outs. The SRC skid plate forms an armor shield beneath your chassis, absorbing impact forces to keep your engine safe and your oil inside the motor.

Fitment & Year Compatibility

This skid plate utilizes dedicated frame-mount brackets that align perfectly with factory mounting points, requiring no drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications:

• Honda CB500X: Fits Model Years 2013 – 2023

• Honda NX500: Fits Model Years 2023 – 2026+ (Current Model)

• Aftermarket Compatibility: Engineered by SRC to be 100% compatible with factory OEM setups as well as most major aftermarket crash bars and center stands.

Key Features & Engineering Benefits

• High-Tensile 3mm Aluminium Matrix: Precision-stamped and welded from structural $3\text{mm}$ thick aluminium alloy to deliver maximum tensile impact strength while minimizing overall weight addition.

• Comprehensive Under-Engine Armor: Extended coverage profile safely encloses the lower exhaust pipe headers, oil pan, internal plumbing, and side crankcases against flying road rubble and trail obstructions.

• Easy-Access Oil Change Cutouts: Smartly engineered with integrated maintenance access windows. You can change your engine oil and swap filters quickly without removing the entire skid plate from the bike.

• Vented Airflow Geometry: Features calculated front and side ventilation slots that maximize cooling airflow across the engine block and exhaust system to prevent thermal buildup.

• Fast DIY Garage Installation: Ships with a robust model-specific mounting hardware kit and a step-by-step installation manual. Easily bolts on in minutes using common garage hand tools.

Available Premium Finishes

Choose the perfect look and protection layer to match your adventure motorcycle aesthetics:

• Matte Black (EDP / Powdercoat Finish): Coated with a dual-stage Electronic Deposit Primer (EDP) and heavy powder-coat matrix. Exceptionally resistant to deep scratches, rock dings, and aggressive impacts.

• Sleek Silver (Anodized Finish): Treated with a premium electro-chemical anodizing layer that seals the raw aluminium. Specifically formulated to offer elite resistance against chemical wear, road salt, and weather corrosion.

Why an SRC Skid Plate is Essential for the CB500X & NX500: While Honda builds highly capable road and trail machines, the factory underbody offers almost no defense against large debris. A single sharp stone kicked up by the front tire can effortlessly puncture an oil filter or crush an exhaust header pipe, leading to an incredibly expensive repair bill and a ruined trip. The SRC 3mm Aluminium Skid Plate offers cost-effective, race-proven insurance that allows you to ride confidently through the roughest conditions.
