    I use Cycra exclusively :thumbsup:

    Although I have tried several others that did not last long.

    I also have the Cycra Probends. good product.
    The plastic deflectors, whatever they are called, were sharp enough to cut if you raised your head while working on the bike.
    Guess how I know that.
    Take some Emory cloth and round the edges.

    I use them, too. Love `em! I used to get bruises on the outsides of my hands after crashing, but with the Probends that doesn't happen anymore :)

    Another here with the Cycra Probends and very happy with them

    I have them on a 2011 TE310 and they do clash with the ignition a little (where the key goes) when the bars are in the forward position but it's still doable.

    I think they are OK but i bend the crap out of them where my HDB's are WAY more resilient.

    I have them on my TE449, but we just tried installing a set on my buddies TE250 and no dice. The bar ends seem to have a smaller diameter than the hardware that comes with the Cycra's. Anyone else run into this issue with the bar end not matching the hardware?

    Its not the guards its the bars- I would venture to guess the 250 has Tomaselli bars and the 449 has Magura bars (both are 1 1/8). The Tomasellis are good bars but untraditionally have a smaller ID inside. There are threads here about it and solutions like drilling them out or using a quikcert...

    I have Cyrca CRM's and like them alot. Enduro Engineering make some nice ones as well.

    My Cycras were nice and durable, but my Highway Dirt Bikes setup is worlds better. Their service both during and after the sale is phenomenal as well. Worth every penny.

    Could be Tomaselli, all it says on them is "Axis Centralize" with a position marking target. I read another thread from Bill of BMP where they have to drill the handlebar end with a 9/16" bit, so maybe this one is a candidate.

    They might get a thumbs up if they would actually fit the bike they were purchased for. I had a lot of problems getting them on my 449 also.

    As with any product that is "universal", they all take some bending / massaging. I have installed them on a few bikes, and they all take adjustments. If you don't have a vice, and aren't ready to tinker, have your shop put them on.

    I have Cycra Probends on my TC510. They are by far the toughest hand gaurds I have ever had. Don't buy Acerbis. They are expensive and seem to be made of pot-metal.
