Running renthal twinwalls and can't figure out which hand guards are gonna fit. I like Cycra Pro-bends but do I need the center reach mount or just the standard 1-1/8" mounts? Anyone done this?
I will answer this one since know one else has piped up so far. I have used protapers 1 1/8 with Cyrca 1 1/8 handgaurds on my last two bikes. Every bar is slightly different but the Cycra kits fits. Sometimes you need to hack the balls off of your levers are find shortie levers. Does this help?
thats what i was looking for, i don't need to know if it's a perfect fit- i just need it to be in the ballpark.
Dont like cutting any of my balls off so Cycra is not for me... AFAIK two producers are doing it right for such large levers - Barkbusters and ZETA Racing. Going to pair Renthal Twinwalls with Zeta hbars/XC shields. Red is the colour anyway
That being said about shortie levers, I noticed that ASV list levers for Husky, We need a investagate the possibility they may fit.
Really like these MSR guards that are cheap and work well with the BRP mounts to the top of the bar. These worked just fine with Motosportz handlebar risers. THE plastic guards can be purchased separately in white black or red.
Like those guards. Some of the same features of the HDB setup and I'm sure for less dollars too. Going all the way to the bar clamps is the way to go.
Thanks Ken. Was pretty inexpensive, The guards were 35, the BRP mounts around 40ish and the black mud guards not pictured were 20. Really strong, nothing moves. Got finished install pics at home, will load up tonite.
Be careful on sourcing shortie levers. When I was fooling around with my HDB mounting I looked for some, everywhere I could think of. Look at your stock levers and note that the "jog" around the switches is exceptionally long. If it isn't, the lever will hit the switch assembly and not give a full pull all the way to the grip. Looking at my WRR and TE, their levers would never work. I couldn't fine anything on line that looked like it would work the same way as the stock Magura levers. At least I think it's Magura from the symbol stamped on them. If anyone finds an alternative, please post up!
Got those from my Husky Dealer "Toytech" in Grantville, PA. 717-469-9484 if you want to call them or I can ask him where he sourced from and post.
i found them on BRP mounts on their website. They sell for over $60. By the time I get them shipped to Canada it would be more like $80. If I could find a deal like you I would buy some. Thanks
Call Scott at Toytech. He discounts and would probably ship to you. He is a good guy and will go the extra for you. He is within walking distance of the post office.
Easy-peasy! I cut mine off to mount my Cycra hand guards with no hesitation and actually like the feel without the balls. Why, if you have hand guards, is the ball even necessary? If you don't have guards, I understand you don't want the lever going through your leg or something. But if you have guards, does it really matter?
not for bike service tests in the uk its not, i cut to fit and round the ends with file, happy days. love the plain metal look of guards but one down and they look trash.
good point. but the other day i lowered mine to the gound softly with the clutch in and no ball w/ just hand shields on a muffed step-up i didnt clean and i didnt get chopped but it coulda been ugly cuz the grip went in the rocks etc. getting the lever though the back of ones hand in the middle of nowhere could be dicey it soooo not worth it. weld the ball back on is my advice, every time.
pvduke, those are open ended guards yes?, i wouldnt cut ball off those just the fully encaged ones you know full wrap around. sounds like you coulda done some damage, hope bikes good
copy on the wraps. it was, too. the barky is thin enuf to go sink in soft stuff, tweenst rocks etc... pfft- bikes good. it was an oh sht, oops, blew back tire off pull cl in lower her down easy spin around and do over. im fine too thanks fer askin!
