#1 Post by sthomson1 » Wed May 06, 2009 6:51 pm

Just fitted these hand guards ... not sure if i like them or not ... looks a wee bit busy.

Got them off ebay for £20 ... also had to by a set of MX acerbis mounts for the 7/8 bars

Only you can decide whether you like the look ... but they should help to keep a bit of the cold air blast off during the winter months ... and that has to be good.

Naah, they look crap. Sell them on. What's your paypal address? :smt003

Seriously though, I have been contemplating the idea for a while. Autumn comes, a set like this will land on my bike

What exactly did you buy? And where from? Any advice?

I think they look great. I was considering doing something similar on the Bandit only using Polisport kit as its cheaper (Am I a tight arse?).

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I will have a look at my bike this evening and will see if they would actually fit. If so, I'll happily take them off your hands!

Edit: just check my handlebars, your guards won't fit my Convertibars. :(
