Wanting to put some more substantial handguard protection on my bike.
So far narrowed it down to Barkbuster VPS and Storm.
Which would you prefer and feel free to offer other opinions other than the 2 I’ve listed.
Opinions and pictures encouraged.
Cheers!

I run the vps.

If you want to get the wind off your hands and forearms, the vps is the wrong model. They are summer guards that dont do much for keeping the elements off of your hands.

The storm are better on wind.

Personally ive been happy with the vps for 3/4 seasons with the option to toss hippo hands over them if the weather is horrid.

You can see here that even with the optonal wind plates, there just isnt much coverage for the inside of the grips near the switches.

Yup.

Also: I am going to just drill these holes through and replace the self tapping screws with a bolt and nylock nut. They often strip out on impact and then you drill them anyway.
