00:00Alright, so you just dropped your bike in the rocks and that's sickening crack you heard?
00:04Yeah, that's your fork bottoms and shock guards taking the hit instead of your wallet.
00:09I went down the rabbit hole to find the best deals for the top 5 motorcycle fork guards for
00:14impact protection, and trust me, these picks are cheap insurance against some seriously expensive
00:18damage. Kicking things off with the Yamaha crowd, this fork bottom shoe guard cover is basically
00:24tailor-made for your YZ125, YZ250, YZ250F, YZ450F, and the WR Crew. It's a straightforward,
00:33bolt-on protector that shields that fragile bottom fork leg from rock strikes and roost,
00:37and at just $9.92 with almost 5,000 sold, it's a no-brainer. If you're tired of chewing up
00:44your
00:44fork lugs on every trail ride, this is the cheapest peace of mind you'll find all week.
00:49Next up is the KTM option, and honestly, the numbers on this one speak for themselves,
00:544.8 stars across nearly 5,000 sales. It fits the EXE 300 in just about every 125, 250, 350,
01:03450, and 500 in the EXE, EXEF, SX, SXF, XE, XEF, and XEW lineup from 2016 to 2024, including the
01:13TPI bikes.
01:14The best part? It's only $6.14, which is basically a coffee, and for that price you're protecting your
01:21fork shoes from dings that can total a set of forks. This is the kind of value buy that makes
01:27you wonder why you didn't grab it sooner. Now if you want something that plays nice with
01:31whatever's in your garage, this adjustable carbon fiber front fork shock protector is your guy,
01:36it's a universal fit for KTM, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda, and Yamaha. The carbon fiber look is a nice
01:43bonus, but the real story is that adjustability, letting you dial it in for a snug, secure fit on a
01:49bunch of different fork sizes. At $10.19 with 4.8 stars and almost 4,800 sold, it's the flexible
01:57pick for folks running multiple bikes or just not sure what they need. Hard to beat that versatility
02:02for $10. If you're on a KTM or Husqvarna and you want the highest-rated option on this whole list,
02:09this fork bottom shoe guard cover is sitting at a ridiculous 4.9 stars. It covers the EXE,
02:15XEF, XEW, SX, SXF, EXE, and EXEF families from 125 all the way up to 500, plus Husqvarna models,
02:23so it fits a ton of bikes. For $8.15 with over 4,600 sold, you're getting premium protection
02:31and a near-perfect rating, which tells you real riders are actually happy with it.
02:35This is the one I'd grab if you want zero regrets.
02:39And wrapping up the list, Honda NC750X owners, you're not left out, this front fork guard and
02:44shock-absorbing protective shell is built specifically for the 2023 through 2026 NC750X,
02:51including the MT and DCT versions. It's a little pricier at $12.14, but it's a purpose-built
02:58shell that actually matches your bike instead of some universal compromise, and 4.6 stars across
03:034,600 sales backs that up. If you've got a newer NC750X, this is the clean, model-specific way to
03:10protect your front end. So there you go 5 fork guards that'll save your suspension without
