    I have 1 1/8" handlebars and I need some handguards. I've researched and found that both the SW-motech and BarkBusters come with hardware to mount on the OEM 7/8" bars. I realize that I can just buy these and then spend even more money on 1 1/8" hardware, but I'd rather not do that. I see that one person (BigDog) put Cycra handguards with triple tree side mounts to keep the handlebar area free. I like the idea of that, but I'm worried that those big handguards will act like sails on the highway at speed. I had bad luck with Zeta handguards on my previous CRF250L with this issue. Is the triple tree side mount a better option than going back to the handlebar?

    Thanks Dave. I'll have to think about those. They definitely look more aerodynamic than the Cycras.
