Handguards
-
Can anyone recommend some for the DT?
Pics of what you have fitted would be handy (no pun intended)
-
I like my Zeta ones, doesn't leave the bars too crowded either.
-
I bought some acerbis ones.
But stripped them and replaced most of the components.
They come with just plastic trim, then found a company that makes carbon fibre wraps.
Then bought the LED inserts from acerbis.
Then put it all together.
-
@calum had them on another bike minus the LEDs. I like the carbon though!
-
I have some Acerbis X-Force ones which I think go really well with the bike, These ones also don't need to go into the handle bars (https://www.dirtbikexpress.co.uk/bike_parts/motocross_handguards/acerbis_motocross_handguards/acerbis_x_force_handguards)

I stripped a cheap pair and polished the aluminium. Pretty satisfied. -
You need them for the look or for the protection?
For protection offroad: Get something with a piece of aluminium all the way, and it absolutely needs to be mounted to the bar-end to have stregth.Just look at what is used at enduroraces, theese things arent bike specific as such.
-
@jens-eskildsen bit of both. Definitely want some aluminium, windshields would be a bonus as well
-
@finnerz89 bark busters have the aluminium and the plastic wind protectors they are pretty cool
-
@finnerz89 I had the Bark Busters Storm hand guards on my DTR;
Best handies for maximum protection, not cheap mind (£105), but definitely the most awesome. UFO make an ali & plastic set, which are alot cheaper;
You can find em on ebay for £60. When I sold my bike I wanted to keep the Barkies, so I put a cheap pair of Polisport plastic ones on, which I wrapped in carbon fibre film. They looked trick and the bike still looked mint with those on;
-
Carbon wrap maybe the way to go I think.
Cheers fellas
