Handguards

#1 Post by furygan man » Fri Dec 16, 2011 11:37 am

Can anyone workout if these or any of the other models will work on the Falco...or will the fairing get in the way?

Cut a piece of cardboard to the approximate shape and size of these and tape it to your bar. Turn the bars full lock to see if it fouls your fairing.

I'd be pretty sure that it would.
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

The other point that might foul is on the front sub frame.
I have a definite lack of clearance there with my radial master cylinders so there might not be much room with standard master cylinders if you also fit hand guards.

Not sure about the how the ones you posted the link to would fit but the Acerbis dual road ones with built in leds look pretty snazzy too.
