I went with the Tusk brand of handgaurds. They are a copy of the "original" barkbuster but are less expensive. I got them from RMATV. I have dropped hard on rocks, and bashed into a few trees, they are scratched up but no broke levers or hands....

the pic is from last year, the plastic is a little more beat up now.

 

If you bend your bars
when crash your bike
Who ya gonna call?
BARKBUSTERS

Your levers are bent
and it don't look good
Who ya gonna call?
BARKBUSTERS

I ain't afraid of no rocks
I ain't afraid of no roots

Who ya gonne call?
BARKBUSTERS

 

good one lol

 

Cycra pro bend with the triple clamp mount, super tough. Expensive but worth it. You will need longer triple clamp bolts. Just get them from the hardware store. I went with the stainless bolts. The cycra also has several different size plastic guards you can choose from.

 

Well today I bent the **** out of the Acerbis Rally Pros, well the right side at least. Heading home I decided to check out trail I've been eye-balling, and it got the best of me. Cruising through some tall grass, there was a downed tree half buried in the dirt and the rest hidden by grass. Well it pitched me hard, bent the Rally Pro real good, and twisted the entire front end. I rode home with my left hand a few inches closer to the checkered flag than the right. Good news is my Renthals are straight and no broken levers!

 

glad your ok

 

Hurt my pride a little, but other than that I'm good to go. Thanks bro

 

Wow, must have been a big hit to bend the Rally Pro's.
Still, they did there job and you got to ride home..

 

I have the acerbis. They usually give enough to save the bars and levers when there is an impact. Tried them out again last week just to see. Still work.

 

Nice poster!....I mean handguards

Anybody got a input on PowerMadd handguards, they good or junk?
