I like those but if they stick out 2 1/2" that's 5 total so they won't clear the 50" barriers which is important for me anyway.IMO whoever Honda gave the project of designing these nerf bars to f***ing nailed it! First they only stick out 2 1/2". Second they dropped the rear down a little bit which helps with the rake look these machines have. Each mounts at three points, one bracket to the rocker bar and one in the back that's almost vertical. Then a U bolt that wraps over in the middle around a frame bar, the result is solid, I was standing and bouncing on it, it's not moving.
This will be an easy add on for most. I read through the instructions about a week ago and noticed it said something about cutting the factory skid plate on the 520. I have aluminum rock sliders under mine so knew going in it wasn't going to be easy. They're 3/16" and I tried mounting underneath them but it wasn't happening, bust out the wheel of death. At least all of the mounting points worked out, I have a lot mounted to that frame bar under there.
Took some cutting and fitting and a lot of on and off but the drivers side's done.

Something else to note is that powder coat was in all the threads, would advise running them through on the bench before laying on the floor. 🙄
