Looking for OEM handguards for my 2018 KLX250S, I discovered the OEM handguards for a Versys 300 matches up perfectly... They use the same brake cylinder assembly and clutch assembly as the KLX250S. I ordered P/N 99994-0992 from my local motorcycle dealer, cost was $107.

 

 

 

They do not thread the end of the bar, there is an expanding plug used.
Those full wrapping style are the best for woods riding because they will glance off of trees and bigger brush, where the plastic ones may bend back and pinch hands. My 650 had the stock deflectors and I swapped them out for a solid set. It paid off when I went down hard on the left side, the guard was actually bent in but my hand undamaged. Cutting the grip was a small price to pay.

But the brush deflectors are better than nothing, just not quite as protective. Those Rocky Mountain ones look pretty good.

On my 250 I run the low buck ebay wonders that sell for around $20 or so.

 

I've had a set of Powermadd Star series on mine since '13. Plenty durable-I've crash tested them many times with no failures.

 

All the hardware is provided in the kit with the hand guards to mount them directly to your clutch and brake cylinder assemblies. There is no modication necessary for installation, although I did need to remove the rubber boot on the clutch cable end where it connects to the clutch handlebar assembly. They do not attach to the handlebar ends, they just attach to the clutch and brake assemblies via a longer through bolts supplied with the kit. I tried them out yesterday and they block the wind very well, but I haven't used them in rain as yet.

 

Rawhide, I see you have the National Cycle Deflector Screen windshield. How do you like it?

I have used one on my 650 for years. I did the quick release handlebar mount so I could take it off when I wanted. I think that is about the best dual sport shield one can find for looks and general function along with mounting without cutting or drilling anything.

 

The National Cycle Deflector Screen is a real keeper! Originally installed it on my Kawa Super Sherpa 250 but now mounted to my KLX 250. Last week, I rode 600 miles in the cold and mostly rain and it did its job. Infinite adjustment options, I imagine it could be made to fit most any bike... Priced very reasonably too and the folks at National Cycle gladly helped me to select the correct one that fit my Sherpa. ...Fits the KLX great, also!

 

And with the windshield rake adjuster knuckle you can remove it to clean it without altering the mounting settings.
