Anyone care to share their experience of extended hand guards?
What’s your recommendations?

As above, if off road then barkbusters. Otherwise I still think these, whilst pricey, are hard to beat for style and flexibility https://www.nippynormans.com/news/cool-handguards-from-machineart
I have the excellent Givi “smoked glass style” extenders that fit behind the OEM handguards, I took them off my 1200 GSA and plan to fit them to the 1250. They keep more water away from your gloves, probably useless off road.
Had these on the last two bikes.
Easy to fit and keep the weather off a bit more. If you do a lot of hot weather riding take them off for a bit of extra cooling air.
Thanks for all your comments. I don't go off road so will probably go for the MachineArt option (after swallowing hard at the price)!

They don't look as good as the Givi ones.
Sometimes the tart in you has to come to the fore.
Just no
Clear handguards are the clear heals of motorcycle accessories, and they are only worn by strippers
Rain or cold, raise the spoiler
Normal weather, drop the spoiler
Hot weather, pop the grey inserts out for air flow.
But, we are all different, well almost, as every second fecking bike on the road is a GS LC or 1290
The givis are discreet.
