I use Moose Contour guards, but I'm pretty sure they're identical to Enduro Engineering Evolution guards.
I run the moose standard hand guards but I use the bonz inner mounts. I prefer the standard instead of the dip like cycra, I also like the moose style is rounded on the ends so when you smack a tree good, they tend to not grab the bars. I absolutely love the bonz inner mounts, no more hand guards bent down after a crash. http://www.bikebonz.com/images/sitebdy/purbdy/hgm/of_hgm.htm
What I have found with Cyrcas. For tight stuff they SUCK!!! The way they bend out is HORRIBLE. Yes good room for all your stuff. I have tried to sets over the past with the same results. BAD. hitting stuff I NEVER hit with Enduro Enginering hanguards. Everyone can arque if they want, but hey I'm tough on my stuff and proper hanguards that do NOT interfere with trees are critical!!! At least for the tight stuff, and remember one guys definition of tight stuff can be alot different then someone elses. You made a great choice!!!
I agree with you, I tried Another companies and thought they looked beautiful. I caught a tree that I felt I should have grazed off of and almost broke my leg. I just like ones that are more rounded on the ends. Pros and everyone else seem to ride with them well but I like the Moose/MSR/EE ones myself. Too old to change now.
I e (even modified them and pulled them way in with still BAD results! They clear everything well, and are quality built, however if they do not work, yea who cares! The EE WORK GREAT! And in going through the woods back to back 2 bikes same bars I hit everything with the Cycras and not much of anything with the EE. CASE CLOSED! I'm to old to!
You should try Acerbis handguards, they are really good. i have used them for about 6 or 7 years now, and i can tell you that they can really take a good beating. I have never bent or destroyed one of those handguards.
Acerbis make great guards, but they are a little expensive on this side of the Atlantic compared to the Moose/MSR/EE... I have a nice set of Acerb's on my SM-610
I know that they are expensive, but you have to pay for quality. Here in Norway they cost over 200 usd, but then again 1 gallon of gasoline costs over 10 usd. And one quarter of fully syntetic two stroke oil cost 48 usd.
If i want to buy a new te 511 i would have to pay close to 22000 usd for it if i want to have it plated for road use, what would you have to spend on the same bike?
The Acerbis are nice, but if you can tear apart these bark busters, more power to you cause I've seen my bike do cart-wheels & the only thing that didn't get tweaked was the hand-guards
ouch bud, sticker on a 2011 te511 from the local boys is 8299. no idea what itd be for the plates and stuff for a bike.
That is right, over 50% of the total amount is tax. Norway is the 11th biggest oil producing country in the world.
for sure to ride legally, us out here in the rual parts tend to get away with a lil bit of pavement use to get from house to trail without to much hassel but yes you need plates to cruise on the road. i dont have plates on mine so im not sure what they cost here.
