Heavy-Duty Butterfly Leg Guard for Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350/500 & Thunderbird X – Matte Black

The Butterfly Leg Guard is a specialized safety accessory that features a distinctive wide-arc design, specifically contoured to complement the cruiser aesthetics of the Thunderbird series. Constructed from high-strength mild steel, it creates a robust protective perimeter around the engine and the rider’s lower body. In the event of a low-speed tip or slide, the butterfly shape ensures the motorcycle rests at an angle that prevents the rider’s legs from being trapped under the bike’s 190kg weight. Key Features: Enhanced Side Coverage: The unique wing-like design offers a larger protective area than standard straight guards, shielding the wide Thunderbird fuel tank from side impacts. High-Strength Construction: Built from heavy-gauge metal tubing (typically 1.25″ to 1.5″) to ensure maximum structural integrity during a crash. Vibration-Dampening Fit: Precision-welded mounting brackets provide a stable, two-point connection to the chassis, minimizing engine-sync vibrations. Weather-Resistant Finishes: Available in High-Gloss Chrome for a classic cruiser look or Matte Black Powder Coating for the sporty Thunderbird X aesthetic. No Ground Clearance Sacrifice: Expertly curved to allow for deep leaning in corners without scraping the tarmac. Rope Wrapping Support: Many versions come with (or support) nylon rope wrapping for added aesthetics and additional scratch protection. Vehicle Compatibility: Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 / 500 (BS3, BS4, and BS6 Models) Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350X / 500X
