Has anyone installed HDB handguards with the Lynx fairing from Britannia Composites? Wondering if there are any clearance issues with the type of mount that HDB uses. Thanks! Alex
I think I see HDB in the photos from this post: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/th...dventure-touring-bike-made.20361/#post-177941 So looks like it fits!
The HDB bars have a generic bend in them. You'll need to bend them in a vise to fit your handlebars, but it's not easy. Mine still take some muscle to bend them enough to get the bolts in. I find it easiest to bolt the ends of the handlebar first then push on the other end towards the top clamp. If you can't bend it to a perfect fit it will hit the display when you try to push it down (if you're using the stock Lynx mount location). Then you'll have to unmount the display, move it out of the way, bolt the guard down, and reattach the display. This is just for the left side. No need to remove the display for the right. And I switched out the HDB hex key bolts for 10mm socket head bolts. Using a little allen key to tighten those bolts got old quick.
Thanks for the info! I don't have a vise, so this may be a little harder than I thought. I really dig the flip out mirrors though.
If you are having trouble bending the handguards, annealing the area to be bent first will make it very easy and there is no risk of breaking them.
Thanks for the tips. I don't have a hitch either I think I will order a set and see, these are exactly what I want minus the bending part.
