SM handguards?

**JohnnyP636** · 04-26-2012, 02:28 PM

Hey guys Im moving along in my SM build, and Im starting to look into hand guards...Personally I dont like the look that much compared to without them, but I really want to protect my Brembo front master as it cost $700, and knowing me Im going to ball it up a few times at least. So far I like the look of the Acerbis supermoto guards best from what Ive seen, but not the fact they say Acerbis on them in big letters on the front...So Im looking for other suggestions for a slick looking set of guards? What are you guys running? Pics would be great too...

Thanks

Could just sand off the name, I use them for single track and they take a beating (metal bar in them, not just plastic). The name actually comes off pretty easily.

Zeta. They comes with stickers you can choose to install... or not.

I like the Zeta stuff I actually bought like 10 parts from them that are anodized blue already, they even have billet mounts to mount to the triple clamp to stop rotating in a crash like georgy mentioned...So they would match with all the other parts I have, and I like how they are very slim...My only beef is there is no slider on the ends, one crash and your wearing the aluminum down...Id have to add some sliders

+1 to cycra, the set for my ktm has replaceable sliders, they've taken a few good crashes too, only beef is the orange faded.

What model are you talking about? the probend CRM?

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.

I have the acerbis and am not happy with them. They have a metal plate, yes..but that doesn't stop them from rotating up and down during a crash (ask my old magura master).

Cycra uses a much better mount that doesn't allow as much up and down movement in my opinion.
