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.

Ohh..thanks… not aware of this. Appreciate the wisdom !! Will look forward to have my buddy @BigE try on his bike…as he didn’t like mine

lol - BigE is not yet sure that he wants to invest in hand guards just yet

Can't use the universal ones with bar ends........ or, how'd you solve that problem?
Are they made of acrylic??

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?

Lookie in the link, there's 3 kinds..... reflective tape, reflectors and with lights... slightly different styles.

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