Re: Handguards for 2016-
The whole bar end, not the screw. The screw just turns but doesn't tighten any more.
I've emailed Oxford. Good suggestion and worth a go. They are not the retailer though (they don't sell direct). They could go closer (they are adjustable) but the levers stick out too far for that. |

Re: Handguards for 2016-
These ones don't actually have a rubber part. It is a screw into a cylindrical nut which tightens into (ie expands) a metal tube with slits in. The slits are supposed to allow that end to expand, but not enough (plus metal on metal doesn't hold as well are rubber on metal).

Re: Handguards for 2016-
Looks just like a Hilti expanding anchor fixing to me. Should be able to tighten right up, but it won't undo without a tap with a hammer and drift.

Re: Handguards for 2016-
How good is the fit between inside diameter of your handlebars and unexpanded diameter of the fixing ? Any gap will limit the amount of contact between inside of bars and the expanding part, and being smooth metal on smooth metal won't give a good grip. If there is a gap you will also need to pull the tapered nut further into the slotted bit, and will run out of thread, so bolt will lock up without fixing the handguards firmly.

Re: Handguards for 2016-
I use the givi handguards, don't give great protection from wind but they help a lot in the rain so the gloves get less wet

Re: Handguards for 2016-
That kind of leverage is asking way too much of those bar bungs. It's a bad design IMO

Re: Handguards for 2016-
If there is enough clearance between the outer slotted sleeve & the handlebar you could glue thin strips of rubber to the outer sleeve. That would give some purchase to help stop the slipping.
