Hand Guards

Hey all,

I've have me Tenere for four or five weeks now, and I have to say I'm loving it more with each ride. I'm only commuting to work each day at the moment, plus the odd trundle to the coast with t'missus on the back.

So far I've fitted a scottoiler, centre stand and a 'fenda extenda'.

For my winter commute, I want to fit some hand guards to keep the wind off. Do any of you folk have a recommendation for which ones to get?

Cheers all!

coolio, thanks. Are they simple enough to fit? I read a review of some guards somewhere (can't remember where, terrible memory!) that required cutting the end of the clutch lever to fit - not sure I fancy doing that ...

Very easy ,but you will have to open the holes out slightly that fit on the end of the bars ,that way you can use your original bar end weights ,mine fitted

+1

...............and you don't have to be an engineer to fit them, or do away with bar ends..............and they are considerably cheaper.
