Right acerbis guards?

Hi I know the acerbis hand guards have been talked about alot on this forum but I want to make absolutely sure before I buy them I'm ordering the right ones- will these fit my 2007 xtx and are they the ones with the metal strengthening bar on the inside of them- the pictures dont really show them- they are the rally pros

Also does anywhere know a decent uk company that sells them rather than buying abroad.

Well dunno, I found a pair of the original Yamaha ones made by Acerbis for my 2011 XTX and fitting then is really easy. They are made in Italy and quality is excellent. I found them at Alf England, try calling Brian or Martin on 02476 312184.

I bought the rally pros and fitted them but I couldn't use the original bar end weights as the hole in the guards is way too small.how have people fitted them with the original weights?? I'm noticing a hell of a lot more vibrations without them and it's starting to do my head in. Are there any aftermarket Wieghts that work with the bolts that came with the acerbis guards or am I going to have to take a really large drill bit to my brand new guards and use the old bolts??

Fitted the Acerbis multiplo's to mine and they are about the best on the market, they have now been updated and called the multi concept,They are slightly more expensive than the ones you suggest but are well worth it.
You can fit the original bar end weights but you will need to open the hole out on the end of the bar to 19mm, fitted them to my R and tenere, now got them on my KTM 950.
These are in the uk and where i bought mine from
