Hand Guards

[Dan German]

People do when they fall, and the hands probably come off if the wheel touches first. In any case, I doubt if any handguards on any road accident have ever saved anyone's hands. I got mine for the wind and that's what they are good for. Great for off road though.

My handguards are for wind protection also. They were on the bike when I bought it; if I were spending my money, I probably would have just gotten the single-point mount style, but the reinforcement sure isn’t going to hurt anything. As I mentioned earlier, I’ve seen some cheap ones that get flexy at highway speeds, and that isn’t doing any good for anybody.

The aluminum reinforced types ( like barkbusters) can also protect your brake lever. I originally put Givis on my 2015 DCT due to lower cost, and had a 30mph low side courtesy of some wet grass/leaves - busted my brake lever when the unreinforced Gigi hand guard hit and collapsed. Bought the barkbusters the next week.

I like the aluminum framed handguards on my NC because for summer (better cooling air flow and quieter ride), I can quickly remove the plastic shields and leave the frames in place.

I like my cheap China specials' because they do everything they are supposed to do, look fine, and were easy to install and remove for the summer. I'm not going to spend a bunch of cash just to possibly save a brake lever.

Just look on ebay, there are a lot in there. Just make sure it is sent by the "Speedpak" method, so it doesn't go by a slow boat.

Here you go. I have the VPS system installed. Thinking about the storm guards for the new year

Thanks, Rabbit!
