Hand guards- are they included on a GS TE ?

[Vanguard]

My salesman says yes they are standard but all the pictures on the Motorrad configerator show the bike without them

Anyone who's collected a new GS TE lately did your bike come with hand guards if you hadn't paid extra for them ?

Thanks

You will need them to protect your hands when you ride through bushes.

They are standard. Assuming they are the same as my MY 2013 they are a bit on the skimpy side though. I fitted these;

Do those completely replace the BMW ones or go with them ? They look good, how do they fit to the BMW ones if that's the case ?

They go over the top of the originals and require one hole drilled in each hand guard. They work well and are much better than the originals which are, dare I say, more cosmetic than functional...

I wouldn't bother with the BMW ones or the Wunderlich extra bits, there are no metal pieces in either part to help protect your hands or the levers if you hit anything harder than a blade of grass.
Go for a set of Barkbusters if you really want to add some protection that will not break the first time you need it.https://www.flickr.com/photos/95548186@N04/21272832976/in/dateposted-public/
