2013 FJR - Universal Hand Guards

Post by flojo »

Greetings!!!

Got these Universal Motorcycle Handguards ( https://a.co/d/cd7q2Xw ) for $25.

I am positive that most of the forum would dislike them for their fitment or looks etc 😀. My buddy ‘BigE’ definitely looked away..LOL.

- Will touch tank and dash on full turns. This also depends on handlebar-risers and VStream/touring windscreen combinations. I am using with VStream and no bar risers.
- I didn’t mind (for now) the issue with the turn-radius, as I hardly use all that turn.
- need some extra-caution, preparation and mindful on the short-turns.
- Finger-tips are still getting cold , so not sure if the construction is really helping the cool breeze away from knuckles or not. Will try on few more rides to decide to keep or not.
- Had to use 2x brake lever bolt-nuts from a 07 GSXR600.
- Need little dremmel’ing to accommodate clutch-lever movement.

Will upload the pics shortly, if anyone want to give a try.

Happy and Safe Riding !!

Why go through all that hassle when a set of 14-16 Suzuki Vstrom guards work perfectly and contain all the hardware necessary? No interference.

Are they made of acrylic??

Duct tape can't fix stupid, but it can sure muffle the sound.

I am using the same factory bar ends, with those hand guards. Didn’t use those acrylic/plastic barends that came with Universal ones.

Are those lights on the universal ones or just reflectors?

I think those are nice, and a good alternative to the Vstrom hand guards at a fraction of the cost.
