Barkbusters and Stradas...possible?

Check out Highway Dirt Bikes. They worked great on my 310.

What ^he^ said. I've got them on my Terra.

I have the HDB NexGens on my Strada, mainly due to the more flexible mounting options. Plus, I don't like the guards mounted to the triple or top clamp, given the option... I'd rather have them mounted to the bars.
They fit well, without having to relocate anything. So, I consider that a win.

Another vote for the HDB top clamp mounts. I set up my WR250R with those U shaped mounts and with the first hard hit the guards rotated and the clamp broke my brake line. One brake line is more than the difference between buying a good set of guards versus ponying up the extra $50 or so for the HDBs the first time round.

I could've saved a buck-fifty had I bought the HDBs first time round...

For Street Strada riders, here is an $80 complete solution that's supposed to be the strongest single fixture hand 'shield.' I like the Cycra hand 'guards' too, but after all the attachments, they cost about as much as Barkbusters. I like these handshields because they don't have the end guard brackets (which are a hassle that is needed for offroad riding) and of course they are cheaper (half price) and more modular (with an additional savings.) I am just looking for wind-chill, small birds, and occasional flying objects protection though.

Oh yeah, they are light and strong too: they are pretty much light weight for all of their product lines. It took an afternoon to find these and I am looking forward to trying them out: most hand 'shields' are plastic and a bracket that holds them on with no real hand protection. That is what sets these apart - new technology. ymmv

I fitted Barkbusters (Storm model) with no problem at all -

Ditto, no problems whatsoever for me either with the Storms on the Strada. On in like 10 mins and nothing seems scary tight on the wires to me.

I installed Barkbuster VSPs with Acerbis triple clamp mounts. Worked great and no interference with any of the cables.

Here is a Cycra racing AL hangaurd for a 2012 Kaw Versys 650 (another 650 midrange, vertical twin, monster via Ninja 650 engine and midrange cam - when you hit 6k rpm, it sounds like it's changing gears!)



They have Lincoln Continental lights for brakes and blinkers on the guard shields (pictured with matching 6061 red AL Pazzo shorty's and mirror extenders.) The best thing is the lightweight racing guards. The complete(!) package of handguards off ebay from manufacturer was $127 under Zeta brand name (they have many.)



With all the heavy accessories, the lightweight racing Al accessories help out :-)
