The Oxford Exhaust Protector (OX981) is an essential accessory for motorcycle owners looking to shield their exhaust systems from common abrasions, scrapes, and light impacts. Ideal for street riders and commuters alike, this protector offers a significant boost to your bike's resale value by preventing cosmetic damage to the exhaust sleeve.

FAQs
Will this fit an oval-shaped exhaust?
Yes, the modular plate design is highly flexible and conforms to most oval and round exhaust profiles within the 300-620mm circumference range.
Can I remove the protector later?
Yes, the protector is held in place by a mechanical clip system, making it fully removable without leaving permanent damage.
Does this protect against extreme heat?
The protector is designed for durability against typical road heat, but it should not be placed directly over the exhaust manifold or headers.
Is any extra glue or adhesive required?
No, the kit relies entirely on the included tension system to stay secure on the exhaust.
How often should I check the tightness?
It is recommended to check the tension of the Jubilee clip after the first ride, and then during your regular maintenance intervals.
Troubleshooting
Protector slides or rotates on the exhaust
Ensure the exhaust surface was cleaned with degreaser before installation and tighten the Jubilee clip further to increase tension.
Silicone bands are fraying or cracking
Check if the bands are touching extremely hot surfaces or exposed to harsh chemical cleaners; replace the bands if the structural integrity is compromised.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Protects against unsightly scrapes and minor abrasions
- Extremely versatile size range fits most motorcycle exhausts
- Includes all installation tools and hardware in the box
- Simple, non-permanent installation process
Cons
- Not designed to prevent damage from major crash impacts
- Stainless steel plates may show dirt over time
- Requires periodic checking of clip tension after initial installation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is achieved by positioning the silicone bands on the exhaust, threading the stainless steel plates through the bands, and securing the assembly with the provided Jubilee clip and Hex Key. Ensure the exhaust surface is completely clean and free of road grime or oil before application to prevent slipping. For maintenance, periodically inspect the Jubilee clip to ensure it has not loosened due to engine vibration. To clean, use a gentle motorcycle cleaner and a soft cloth; avoid using abrasive brushes that could scratch the steel plates.
