Progressive's website doesn't make that distinction. They just ask for make/model/year. If and when I get close to a decision, I'll probably have to call them and see what I get in person as opposed to via the website calculator.
How is the vibration? I thought about removing them for off-road, but I haven't pushed the bike enough to need to do so.
Edit: I found them. Looks like Givi has redesigned their previous offering.
Be sure they have the A in the part number. The TN6401 guards are still available and they are the one I was finding at most retailers. I found the A's at just a few retailers. I order mine from Sport Tour GIVI TN6401A Engine Guards
Thanks for the info.
I've been dragging my feet on guards, wanting to read reviews from those who have put them to use. Some brands have actually caused damage to the engine at the attach points in minor falls and that seems counter to the alleged purpose.
As with your preference, I want something that attaches in a way that won't lead to damage of costly soft aluminum engine parts. These and the Holan bars seem to be better thought out in that regard. Hoping to read some feedback from riders who have dropped the bike on them and what the results are.
Meanwhile, I'm riding "without protection" and hopefully won't catch any diseases until the decision is made.

Anyone else have the throttle idle issue with the 800xc? Suddenly last weekend after a 200 mile gravel and dirt ride mine started dyeing at idle.
I pulled off the tank and air box and cleaned everything and made sure there was a 0.5 mm gap on the lever for idle. I still stall though better than it was before I cleaned everything. Any ideas?
Yep, not mine but Mike's had the same issue a few months ago. Same situation, after riding dirt the XC would stall at idle. I don't remember the exact trick, but it goes something like this.
Turn key to on, let it cycle through the 'modem'. Turn the key back to off & let it cycle through that 'modem' as well. I think he did this maybe three times & it finally reset his throttle. I'll send him an IM to confirm, but in the meantime give this a try.
