And mount them just outside the center clamp. I think regular handguards are USELESS, I've tried 4 or 5 different ones... and they all break when you roll the sled to get unstuck. These keep the trees off you, let you squeak by them without catching, protect your hand if you roll while still on the bars, make it so the the bars can't "spear" you (how a buddy of mine lost his spleen riding 2 yrs ago), they're bigger, so more effective, and they'll just last longer.

FYI, I've tried a few of the other barkbusters as well, and these cycras are by far much better than acerbis, or the generic ones thet VOHK carries sometimes, these have the protection where you need it, where the others for some reason are wider closer to the bar end, but not where your hand goes.

They're worth the $$.

btw, I don't have handwarmers on my 11, so these obviosuly do a pretty good job of keeping my hands out of the wind.

Acerbis lasted 1/2 day on my moto. I have beat the piss out of my Cycra's for four years now(lack of riding talent).

I'm curious as well to see pics. on stock bars. I don't care about wind as much as pokeys.

WTF hijacker? Two thumbs WAY down.

I wore that shirt yesterday.:rockon: I swear to Tebow.
The project you speak of, is one we do not speak of.
Let me compensate for my lack of riding talent by bolting on some cyrcras (I'll find your old sled and photo) and I'll be up. Back to topic.

So...those pics. you were going to post???

Could you at least see the handguard mounts in those pics? You can photoshop you know?

those are before the final bend on the end pieces, the return needs to be bent upwards a bit so they go into the bar ends properly.

That's all I got (except for those couple I kept of yer mom, I couldn't get rid of ALL of them...:face-icon-small-ton

I noticed you run the Dan Treadway "trigger" throttle. How do you like that for boondocking? I want to try that but the hand warmer wires are an issue and I need hand warmers bad

I put some barkbusters on my new Pro this year that I had kicking around. Last year I ran some KTM plastic barkbusters on my M7 that worked great. I did have to do some creative bending with map gas and a small piece of pipe to make the aluminum fit right.
