Handguards

[Format]

Has anyone upgraded their 1200 DOHC handguards?

I find they are far too small, I have had a look and found the following:

i got the second ones (black) and they're great. Quite a bit taller than the grey jobbies they came with. Easy fit.

Hideouse, get a C1, or drive something with 4 wheels if you need that much protection

I think they look great on your bike, however I have read that they are quite flimsy and quite thin for what they cost. Do you know how high they are? The cheaper one's from nippy's state they are 5" high at the highest point.

dont know how high they are exactly , 5" sounds about right , you do notice a big difference on the oem ones.
