Hi
Any of you tested above handguards? Tested means had to lay down bike and those guards touched with some force ground?
I am really sceptic when i touch that product .. already mounted and like the look but really sceptic about durability
i also purchased BBS and keep them packed, probably need to have some impuls to dissassembly the evo and wear BBS

I've dropped and crashed my 600cc enduro bike loads of times with bark busters and never snapped a lever lol


But i am reffereing to that one

Feel like super light, aluminium alloy and rather delicate then strong... i hope it is only my impression.

same to me and I don't like the mount near to the break fluid reservoir - I mounted the bark busters.

I'm sorry, i read that wrong. My bad. I did read somewhere that you don't want handguards that are heavy duty since the impact will be absorbed and travel to the handlebars.

I'd rather bend the handle bars than snap a clutch lever and struggle to get home, and never bent bars with bark busters fitted and I've crashed a few times over the years 😆
First drop today basically from stand still and the Evotech guard on the drop side bent badly into the brake reservoir but doesn’t appear to have damaged it. The guard is toast.

side note- the shifter bent inwards as well. I bent it back but will need a new one 120$! The rear auxiliary tanks and front fairings as well as tank is totally fine.

So they are as useless as they look - sorry for you
Curious. Is there a bark buster specific for DX stock bars, or does the universal kit fit?
