SM handguards?

[jerrett]

Go with the cycra pro bend handguards but get the low profile shields. I have the acerbis but they suck. The mounting hardware is junk - I swapped it out for enduro engineering mounts. The wrap around alumunum is weak and bends easy. The cycra is much better all around and has a bunch of mounting options.

You just reminded me to switch to the low profile (I didn't realize they would fit). It might buy me a few clicks of speed as well .... LOL

I also use these makes changing hanguards easy and they seem to hold tighter also.

Not in Canada, but Thumper Talk store is great and ships USPS and has a great stocking.

I run enduro engineering handguards with the bar inserts canukwr250 posted. Takes a serious hit to move them around.

Still managed to break a magura clutch master cylinder with them on though.

Go with The Cyra, and run them without the goofy plastic, they just do their job and you don't really see them.

In addition to those...
use these for the other side of the guard. - Makes the guard far more resistant to rotating on the bars.

That is so sweet! And solves the single worst problem I had with my acerbis guards.

Where did you order them? Im not a fan of the $20+ shipping they charge on their side....I think thats a little too much for 2 bolts, 2 inserts, and a tap that can fit in an envelope

[JohnnyP636]

Nevermind I can get threaded inserts for $2 each, the tap is only $10 and 2 bolts is another dollar each...Im just going to make it myself...

Most shops have them hanging up,picked mine up at Orange Motorsports.Why get everything shipped? when you order even on line at GP and pick it up,shipping is free.As far as the insert goes it comes with a bolt and nut and washer so you can torque it down to seat it.If you make your own you might want to use locktite.I purchased the hard plastic ones which are about $20.with tap,you can purchase without tap for less.

highwaydirtbikes makes the toughest handguards available....but they aren't cheap.

Most shops where? I live in Mississauga and no motorcycle stores around here have that kind of thing hanging in the store that I know of. Orange motorsports is a 1 and half hour drive for me, in my truck thats probably double the cost of shipping there and back......So for those reasons I would order it, or like I said make it myself...The store that has the inserts is just down the street from me, I can also get SS bolts for them just around the corner. A tap if I dont already have it from the same store that has the inserts...

And the inserts already come coated with red thread locker...

where do you get the threaded inserts? fastenal, brafasco?

Fastenal and Brofacso will only sell a box of 100....KBC tools in Mississauga had 30 in stock and sold them to me individually for under $3 each..Although they do have a $25 minimum, so I bought some loctite and a tap
