Hand guards help,

[GEOFFREY DEACON]

Can anyone help me, does the handguards off a 1992 100GS/80GS fit a 1988 100GS Bumblebee??.

I have just got a good set but they do not fit..

Sorry, but if you have offered them up to the bumble bee and they don't fit, then why ask if they fit? The answer obviously is no.

I just put a set on a 75/7 but they dont fit right on- a little cutting and trimming is required.

Thanks Nick, for the reply, seems I have the wrong set, the front brake res, area is totally different fitment..
I was told they are the same for all years, WRONG!!,

So not mis-sold but mis-informed,,

Thanks..

Like I said, cut off the top half of the reservoir cover and put a couple of cable ties round the hose boss, unless you know you wouldnt notice.
