Important Notes Before Purchase
Confirm that the guard is specifically for Xoom 160 (not a generic scooter guard) — many listings do not clearly list variant.
Inspect the finish when you receive it: ensure no welding flaws, bends, or missing mounting points.
During fitment: Align with factory mounting holes; do not overstress or bend the guard to force-fit.
After installation: Re-check after first 100 km for any loosened bolts or alignment shifts.
In case you plan touring or extended rides: ensure the guard doesn’t interfere with side-bags, extra packs or modifications.
