help with hand guards 1150gs

[Northern Monkey]

does any one have any pictures of the handguards correctly installed on a gs ? i have some guards that look like genuine beemer ones that came with the bike in a bag of bits but i cannot find the correct angle at the bar to fit right???

i have googled images, searched here with 25 pages of hits with nothing similar and looked in the service manual too.

any photos or instruction manuals would really help, thanks

after another coat of looking at i think the bars may bent causing the guards to not fit properly - if anyone does find a photo to confirm that would be brill

Colt, thanks for the offer but looking at the photos it definately looks like the bars are bent towards the tank (glenn has a set so will give him a bell)

As for you mr Whit..... you are a star! thanks very much, im happy i now know why... not happy i need to buy some bars!!!!!

hand guard pron alert When I got my gs first, I loved it because the hand guards wrapped arround and connected to the bar end weight. my 850's just sort of hang there. A bit like 1100 owners i expect.

Nice pix
