How Important Are The Hand Guards?
Online course "The Essential Guide to Any Motorcycle Traveler": rtw-adventures...
Well I think that they are one of the most underestimated adventure items. Many people are happy to spent tons of money for useless things, but usually miss the importance of the proper hand guards. In this video I will give you three very good reasons to buy it, stay with me!
How important they actually are? As I said already I believe that they are some of the most important adventure items after maybe the engine guard.
Most of the new adventure motorcycle today are coming with very simple, plastic hand guards, which is mean that they will survive maximum one drop. If you really want to see the world you will need something more serious.
As I promise in the beginning I will give you three very good reasons to buy it.
Number one
It is obvious to protect your hands from the weather conditions. In a combination with heated grips they will make a significant difference in your riding comfort. Also they will keep your hands dry much longer in the rainy days. The plastic hand guards will do exactly the same job, but until you drop it.
This is actually the second good reason to buy it to protect your clutch and brake levers. I will suggest changing it as soon as possible. Yes, good, quality models are not cheap, but for sure you will appreciate it next time when you drop the bike. When it happened and you stuck in the middle of nowhere without clutch lever you will be happy to pay any price.
The third reason is the one almost everyone miss is that in the case of direct impact, with car or any other vehicle they will protect your hands. Thanks to the two mounting points they actually provide this secure shield and will keep your hands protected.
The model I use now is from Barkbusters. They actually partly sponsored my next trip sending me the guards for the Kawasaki KLR, the one that I will ride in Australia and also for my bike. Thank you very much guys! The reason I agree for this video is because I really like they products and I believe that this guards are one of the best on the market today.
Until now I have the guards from Acerbis, but to design the model I need I had to combine two models. I wanted this strong aluminum protection, but also good wind protection. The guards from Barkbusters are already designed with this in mind.
Another one of the benefits of this model is the space I have inside. With my old model it was limited, but here now, because of this curvy shape I have more than enough.
The mounting system is designed really well and they provide all the necessary hardware. It is very simple to be installed on any bike. Also the build quality is very good and with few words I can highly recommend this product to each and every one of you.
