Barkbuster Storm handguards.

[NeilGS]

I have just installed a pair of Barkbuster Storm handguards on my 1250.
Has anyone fitted these as the original handguard support that fits under the mirror mount now seems redundant and in view. I do not want to remove it though as this will drop the mirror height. Am I missing something ?
Will put a picture up tomorrow…

You can remove the original stay, it’s hollow and there is a washer under it. You only lose the height of a washer, about 3mm.

They can be a little difficult to remove but they do come off.

The washer maybe on top of it rather than under the stay. Cannot remember exactly.

If you have a 3D printer (or a friend with one), it should be an easy task to print a properly sized collar.

I managed to moved the handguard out slightly by removing the OEM metal collar that wasn’t needed, so it now hides the plastic bracket as it should.
Thanks for tips though…
