Just a word of warning - If you are fitting hand guards to an ABS version you will need risers ! Also with the barkbuster kit for the Z.

Some of the others big brands either state that the their guards won't fit a xt660z ABS or that you need risers to clear the tank. That is definitely true.

I've gone with the specific kit from adventure specs with storm plastics and external bar weights. So far very happy with it but should have fitted the 30mm risers before scratching the tank.
