Honda CB500X Pannier Racks by Outback Motortek. The Outback Motortek X-Frames for the Honda CB500X are the most universal and functional side pannier frames yet, allowing simple, secure mounting of hard panniers and soft luggage. Total width of the asymmetrical pannier racks mounted: 495mm. Compatible with our Rear Rack. Exhaust heat shield is included! See the list of tested soft panniers below. Important note: Although we offer an exhaust heat shield for CB500X models, the main purpose of it is to keep bags coming in contact with the muffler. We cannot guarantee that heat coming off of the exhaust gas will be prevented by the heat shield. We suggest that you protect your soft panniers from melting while we’re working on a complete heat protection package.
