No. This is only for BS6 J-series Classic Reborn & Meteor 350 models. For UCE, explore our UCE-specific crash guard section.

❓ Is the black finish powder-coated?

Yes — professionally done, rust-resistant, and high grip.

Not if maintained. It's made of stainless steel, not iron — just wipe it clean after rides in rain or salty conditions.
