Author Message   Rwcfrank Posted on Sunday, April 06, 2008 - 02:10 pm:        Has anyone upgraded to some stronger handguards like the Acerbis? The stocker look good but arent made for a real hit.   Michael1 Posted on Monday, April 07, 2008 - 02:16 pm:        I upgraded to a set of Cycra Probend's. Best upgrade EVER! After two spills and trashing my brake lever's off road...time for something that won't break! BTW...no pics of them yet. I should go take some....   Rwcfrank Posted on Monday, April 07, 2008 - 02:18 pm:        Pics would be great!! The price stockers are fetching on Ebay should pay for a nice set of Cycras.   Michael1 Posted on Monday, April 07, 2008 - 03:36 pm:        Here's some pics from MBV... Best I have right now.   Rwcfrank Posted on Monday, April 07, 2008 - 03:52 pm:        THose are much better than stock, did you use the standard mounting kit?   Michael1 Posted on Monday, April 07, 2008 - 05:57 pm:        Yes, I used the right fit clamps. Fit is great. And the protection is even better.   Rotorhead Posted on Monday, April 07, 2008 - 06:32 pm:        I mounted the same set but cut the stock plastic handguards to cover the aluminum. I have the Touratech handguard mod and didn't want to loose the wind block. I have some pics but can't upload them now. My in bar POLY heated grips still fit inside with the mount up of these aluminum guards. I was camping on the up hill side in the pics. BTW how was that drive back north after MBV?

Still collecting info for my upcoming purchase/trade-in (turning wifey's neglected 02 1200C into MY new UlyX!).   Treadmarks Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 06:55 am:        I had the acerbis but opted for something stronger. Here is a shot of the moose racing atv handguards on factory bars. I re-used the acerbis swivels on the inside and installed to fit outside the bar-end mirrors to protect them. The plastic can come off in the summertime if too hot. I bought these off ebay for 10 bucks used, then later learned they were also available with black metal.
