Engine guards

Hi, looking for suggestions on suitable engine guards which will support spotlights for 650 xt 2019.
Seems plenty of choice at vastly different prices.

Heed.  Great quality at a very reasonable price.  I like the fact they connect together top and bottom, giving more strength in the event of a drop.  I think mine were only about £89 recently.

I have Heed and would second their fit and finish. I had the Givi bars also before and equally were very well made, both 25mm OD so will suit a raft of auxiliary lights.

I went for a metal LED pair spots off eBay and some stainless p-clips so mount and they work perfectly, plus if you do drop the lights are cheap to replace.

Definately Heed. Weel made, esy to fit. Put some on my Starbucks cruiser then dropped it on a steep rocky hill the following day, scratched the paint on the bars, but took the impact well.

Unmarked.
It's the filter, won't let you write a U and an N together unless like that, they are part of another word.
