Finished the work titivating the bars, sorting the heated grips save for new rubbers on order. The oem handguards are pretty scabby though so am pondering alternatives. Any suggestions gents?
I know Tetley has very kindly offered his hand guards up, however, if you're going to use the bike in anger, off road, then they're pretty useless apart from wind deflectors.
After one fall, I had one of mine split and I had to take it off as it was interfering with the clutch. One more similar drop and I might have lost a lever.
If it is off road use then you need either Acerbis, Barkbuster or similar with a metal bar which actually protects the levers, whilst the plastic protects your hands from wind and plant life.
tuftywhite , learning how to ride a bike without repeatedly falling off might help too - works fine for me.
Some might also consider that a R100 GS is not a off road bike, which might explain why you fall off when try too.
Take a lesson from Lewisjohn- don't let your bike anywhere near dirt, with photo shop you never have too!
The counter point to this is if you are not using the bike off road the oem brush guards are totally fine, and as they have a larger frontal area than most other types are great for winter too. And, the last time I looked are still available new and at a reasonable price.
