Hello. I am looking to fit some wrap around guards but I am not sure which will fit/look best. I have seen some acerbis ones and also bike tech. But I would like some advice before I buy them. Hopefully some members have either type and would suggest which would fit easily and if possible some pics please. I have a 1997 RD07a and want orange guards

Thanks

I seem t remember some member fitting the handguards from the BMW GS1150 Adventure.

They fit well but dont use their handle bar internals and ensure you fit them with the bar end weights ( i have the weights inside the wrap around alluminium bar)

I've dropped it a few times and hit some small trees and bushes off road and apart from a few scratches they are perfect

The good thing about them is you can buy replacement plastics and they are not that expensive to replace and are available in a range of colours

The guards and fitting kit come to around £80 ish

Whealie has just fitted some so he would have a more up to date pricing

Highly recommend them. Can't remember how much I paid though - it was well over a year ago.

The supplier PaulS recommended had trouble getting them in the UK so it took a few weeks.

Did you have to make any major changes to fit them on or was it reasonably straight forward?

I think I explained the bike I wanted to fit them on and they came with the relevant mounts. It was easy, though I think I needed a couple of longer handlebar bolts as, like Paul, I mounted them outside the bar end weights.

Just looked up what Paul sent me and the supplier was

They said the T plastics were rare as no longer made, though.

They cost about £96, including delivery.
