Anyone know if the Touratech handguards have the aluminium insert? Are they identical to the Acerbis Rally Pro? What are the chances of some of those big old protectors off a BMW GS fitting some Honda bars without weeks of fannying about?

Touratech jobbies come in at £60 including the "spoilers"...think it's about the same for the Acerbis.
The touratech ones I've seen are the same as the acerbis rally guards... They don't have an alu insert, but they're nylon so they don't break.
And I know a guy who'd fitted 1150GS guards to a TDM, so that apparently works.![]()

I have the Acerbis brush guards on my Alp. They are the same as the Touratech's but worked out cheaper. They don't have alu inserts as confirmed above but are very sturdy. Most importantly...they look cool!![]()

Oooer yours still look so new.Originally Posted by faantjie
But yes, sturdy indeed. I've managed to break the spoiler on mine by it dragging backwards through the ground. In fact the guard having buried itself in the soft soil saved the bike from sliding off into a canalit was still hanging on the embankment with the wheels in the air, about 1 meter from the water.

Cheers chaps, I'll keep my eyes out.
Faantjie those do look cool which, as you say, is the most important factor!
Parked up to next to a 1200 GS t'other day and noticed the guards on there which is what set me off!![]()
I have just fitted Acerbis Mutliplo T. These are alloy reinforced with replaceable plastics with different sizes available. They are the usual Acerbis quality items and fit the Varadero nicely. You can see them fitted at http://www.honda-varadero-uk.org/for...p?topic=5219.0
