I went to a dirt bike store and bought some moose racing aluminum hand guards. they were $42.00. I installed them and modified the stock Uly wind guards (I call them that because they really only block the wind) I had to cut a little "v" shape on the inside of them. It worked out fairly well. I'm going to drill another hole in the end of them to mount bar end mirrors also and get rid of the Lollipops. (seen that on someone elses here). I'll post some pics tomorrow when it's light out. I did it on the cheap as I'm rather in a money crunch most of the time.

Those are the stock Uly handguards with tourtech extensions on them. The extensions make is just all enough to block all wind coming at my hands. Pretty slick

XBeau -

No issues with clearance with the clutch and front brake levers with those guards on the inside?

Looks like a great upgrade, especially for those of us that bought the Tourtech guards before learning of the Bark Busters...

those are barkbusters aren't they?
I installed those on my ult with thier storm hand guards, they work great.

Rode then in thundering rain, and my gloves only started getting wet around the wrist area.

I posted a step by step on the install 1 or 2 weeks ago.

Just did your mod and it worked great. Easy install (need drill and tap). Strong, and they are clear of your hands. Can't even tell they are there. $44.00. Thanks Beau.......

Cool! I do like it that you can't tell they are even there! And they are the fast black color I see!
