Hey guys,
I like the look of the hand guards used on the CityX, so I'm thinking about adding a set to my Ss. However, the CityX guards are just a tad dull compared to some of the others I've seen out there. I was wondering if anyone has yet to mount an aftermarket hand guard set to their XB, or what brands might work. I've never dealt with guards before, so I dunno if they all attach the same way as the CityX.
Thanks!

Well, I can't help you with mounting aftermarket guards on an XB, however I have mounted aftermarket guards on other bikes.


Usually they mount similarly, however, my CityX has the integrated mirror mount/handguad mount. Most aftermarket handguards have a separate 2 piece mount. You need to know the diameter of the bars, which I think are 7/8ths, but maybe someone who knows can chime in.

Here's a link to Acerbis, but there are many others:

The bar ends are pretty straight forward. Do you have a particular brand in mind? Most of the MX ones don't lend themselves to a streetbike, so it may be tough finding one you like.

Maybe it'll get more attention.

I had handguards from the CityX put on my 03 Lightning. Just order the handguard part number from the dealer. They fit perfectly - love 'em! You can put the headlight guard on too. It just snaps over the headlights.

I'd like to put the handguards on my Firebolt. Anybody know if they'll fit without problems?
