Some jackass tipped my Uly over outside of my apt last night and it broke the right handguard and bent the brake lever.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement handguard and the little plastic thing that it clips onto on the handle bar?

thanks.

You could upgrade to BarkBusters. The BarkBuster Storm gives similar wind protection, and a lot better tip over protection.

I used these:

http://www.amazon.com/Motocross-Enduro-Aluminum-In side-Guards/dp/B004BOXKN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1 459944169&sr=8-1&keywords=bark+busters

Took some fiddling on my 2007 Uly. Alex Prior had more trouble on his 2009, I don't know if he worked it out or not.

So not a "just follow instructions" kind of install, but if you don't mind a bit of puzzle and perhaps some light fabrication, they are solidly built and that price is ridiculously good.

The bars themself are great (thick aluminum bar and solid plastic). The mounting hardware not as much, but it works.

Reepicheep did you have to cut down your levers at all? those look awfully tempting.

I don't think so, though I did have to point them downward some, which I prefer to do anyway.

Here is a picture I had handy that includes some very cool winter shields that I use with them.

I wonder since they are pointed out underneath the metal guards if they will still protect the levers...

I like my Palmer bar ends,they clamp the handguard so it doesn't flip away it a light tip over.
They've been tested a couple times.
