V-Strom Hand-Guards
 

Well I gave in last weekend and ordered a set of these and fitted them . A couple of interesting things arose in that I have an ABM comfort kit on the bike and am using Renthal bars . Managed to workaround the problem and these guards can be removed in minutes should the need arise . I went to work this morning and instead of having my heated grips running at full whack , I had them on 25% power . What a difference these have made to Winter riding . I don`t care what they look like , they are staying on for Winter . One mate didn`t even notice they were there . Backs of hands were seriously toastier at 5:30 this morning having a blatt down the A55 to work :smt040

Well I'm sold!

I've been considering doing this for a while, sounds like it well worth it :)

Re: V-Strom Hand-Guards
 

IMO get some proper enduro ones with the big bar down the middle. Harder to fit, but they will save your levers in an offski.

Re: V-Strom Hand-Guards
 

This is more to do with keeping my hands warm , I had an off just after Xmas and the ball end came off the lever anyway but I still has a useable lever . Once the bad weather has gone these things will be coming off anyway .

Can you post some pics Badger? I have the ABM kit too and didn't think they would fit!

I've tried muffs, but they are too big and flappy, forever getting my hand stuck inside.





(Note U rating, the above does not refer to anything other than Oxford Muffs! ;))

Well covered, very quick too Pete ;)

Yeah can you post some pics and maybe where you bought them please Badger...

Re: V-Strom Hand-Guards
 

Get them from any suzuki dealer..

About 20-40 note, not hard to fit, and keep the wind off very well..
Gives a min, al post a pic up of mines soon..

Re: V-Strom Hand-Guards
 

£33 from a local Suzuki dealer , will post pics tomorrow when it`s lighter outside :)

Re: V-Strom Hand-Guards
 

I fitted a couple from ACERBIS, they're cheaper and IMO nicer.

Re: V-Strom Hand-Guards
 

Acerbis cheaper than £33 , blimey , and as I said , not bothered about the looks of them as they are on for the winter only and can be removed in seconds if need be :)
