Accessories for HONDA CB500FA

Accessories for the Honda CB500FA

The Honda CB500FA is a naked bike suited to weekday commuting and weekend rides on winding roads. Those two uses call for slightly different priorities: protection for low-speed mishaps around town, a comfortable relationship with the controls, and some wind deflection for longer stretches of open road. This page brings together accessories for the 2013–2015 Honda CB500FA, helping you focus on the parts that suit the riding you actually do.

What riders usually fit to the Honda CB500FA

• Screens: Worth considering when your commute includes dual carriageways or your weekend route takes you further afield. On a naked bike such as the CB500FA, a screen helps redirect some of the airflow away from your torso during sustained road riding.
• Protectors, crash bobbins and bars: Daily parking and slow manoeuvres make protection a practical consideration for an urban CB500FA. These parts can help limit damage to the areas they cover if the bike tips over, though they cannot prevent every mark or broken component.
• Handlebars and levers: Your hand position matters when a journey mixes stop-start traffic with flowing bends. These are useful areas to address when setting up the CB500FA's riding position, with the aim of keeping the controls comfortable to reach and operate.
• Number plate holders: An option for riders who want a tidier-looking rear end rather than focusing solely on comfort. The CB500FA's naked styling makes this a relevant finishing touch for a bike used as much for enjoyable weekend rides as weekday transport.
• Phone mounts: Handy when switching between unfamiliar city destinations and new country-road routes. A mount keeps the phone secured to the bike; set up navigation before leaving and stop somewhere safe whenever you need to change the route.

For mixed use, start with protection and riding position. If open-road mileage dominates, a screen deserves attention before purely cosmetic changes.
