Has anyone tried these out? I came upon them the other day and they looked pretty cool, albeit a bit pricey. Anyone use anything different. I thought they might be a cool way to get a bit more protection without rotating the controls.

I have 'em on mine. Easy install with an electric drill and perfect fit with stock
guard. Definitely adds more wind/rain protection for hands.

I'm going to have to add a pair to the list of things to make for Ulyrat I think.

They'll have to be bolted on so I can remove them in Summer as a cooling breeze to your hands is welcome then.

I have them too. Would recommend them. Hands stay relatively dry in the rain at speed.

Notice any crosswind or gusty wind steering buffeting? I've got big paws and like the idea of more protection...especially since I'm too dumb to come in out of the cold in the winter, LOL.

Well, I had a little last Friday on the I at 70-80 mph and a 20-25 mph crosswind. But that was probably the Parabellum windscreen.

Contact Strada on this forum, he has some neat little handguard extenders that are carbon fibre lookalikes that are way cheaper then Touratech stuff. I'll try and dig out a pic.

Edit - here's a pic (first post in this link) that gives you an idea of what he's doing but it's not very clear I'm afraid. I'll take some better pics of my bike tomorrow and post them up.

I have the TT spoilers and really like them. Easy to install, the fit and finish is nice and they work good.

Thanks.

Johnboy,

What is that white cylinder in front of your tour pak and helmet?
