Upgraded hand guards !

[ADVFireFighter]

Installed these puppies.. MUCH better wind protection...

The logo stood out too much for me... little masking tape and some plasti-dip and they were gone in 10 minutes !

Looks good. Is there better Lower wind protection?

Where does the Plasti-Dip come in to play?

 

[Gee-Tee]

Does the yellow part remove for summer?

I have never worked with Plasti-Dip before. Did you place a piece of tape above the name... dip the handguard in the Plasti-Dip... peel the tape off the handguard?

That looks familiar Looks great ::008::

They make a spray. No, they don't call it "Plasti-Spray". ::025::

Worth $255 / £160 ?...... I know cold hands are a real pain even with heated grips, but touratwat kit is SO overpriced.
Don't get me wrong - I have used a lot of their kit before and currenty, such as the adjustable screen mount with a useful sat nav bar,,,BUT, the price of spoiler and hand guard seems expensive as usual.

Where are you seeing that price? They are 120 for the guards and 33 for the add ons...

Basically yup...
Used blue painters tape... Followed some lines on the handguards and taped it off...
3-4 coats and peel off when still wet...
Let it dry a little between coats...
I used a hair dryer... I can do 3-4 coats in 5 minutes, tops...

£102.44 for the handguards and £24.96 x 2 = £50 for the extension guards = £153 plus shipping add another £10-15 !

£160 = $260

 

[CDMartin884]

A wee bit off, they are $121.50 (Handguards) + $33.50(spoilers) = $155.00 USD. They come in sets.

that looks tasty. The stockers left a bit to be desired. How easy do they mount up? do you need a new mounting kit?

 

[E.Engler]

Simple mounting with included clamp and bar end attachments. Really cleans up the bars. Highly recommended.

 

[E.Engler]

Another view, cant find a close up of the clamp however its like most moto brushguards.

::026:: I like mine a lot, easy install, and it does clean the bars up
