having jammed my knee in a handguard bolt sticking out like made me want to make sure you did not experience that displeasure.
I have the same reaction when I see people with sports bikes with aftermarket windscreens which don't have a big fat rounded edges and just have a 2mm crosssection edge facing the rider. I have a 4" scar across one of my knees which is my constant reminder that this is a bad idea.
The hand guards on mine have not proven to keep the finger tips from going numb but it's got to be better than no guard...right? I think the heated grips will be the best bet.
Hey, i see very good accesories for Terra. I just order the windscreen, can you tell about the real proteccion, and air turbulences?. I pretend to put a it upper on the screws.
The touring windscreen from Husqvarna is very effective and does not cause air turbulence for the rider. I am very happy with mine.
I'm 6ft tall and find it to work quite well. I get a little wind on the top my shoulders, but the buffeting is MUCH better. I recommend it.
Perhaps you could slide a larger ID piece of fuel line over that portion of the hose? Also, breaking the sharp edge that contacts the hose with a file might help as well. Nice bike.
Hey Nev, Nice pics and bike! when your doing any major dismantling to the bike such as fitting the B&B plate or frame components, use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the threadlocker. I didn't use the foam,and havnt noticed much extra noise if any. I could see it getting wet or full of muck. For the breather I use Velcro rap with a dab of glue underneath. Also drip a couple of drops of glue to the end of the mounting bolts, if the nut comes loose you won't lose it and when the glue goes hard it can be easily removed with pliers
Hey Nev where did you source your handguards from, I noticed you were able to keep the bar end caps on, looks cool. I had the power mod done yesterday and I agree WOW
They are the factory Husqvarna handguards (from memory they have BMW part number stamped in them and they are straight off the G650GS).
I found that drilling 20-30 holes in my B&B bash plate quietened the vibes down considerably and also made it easier for mud to escape and or get hosed out
Are they structural at all? Any metal or just plastic? Part number? (I really like having the OEM weights in the end of the bars)
Just plastic, On the Australian Husqvarna website the part number is listed as Part # 8539605 Hand Guards Set
Hi nev.. Your Husky looks brilliant ! I'm new in the Husky family and would love to know where did you buy those mirrors? I'm not the big fan of the original mirrors.. Thanks in advance ! Cheers !
The mirrors are the same as, or similar to, what are commonly known as "Tuono" mirrors. I think they were first standard fit on the Aprilia Tuono in the early 2000s, but are also found as OEM mirrors on various Aprilia and Moto Guzzi as well as the BMW F650GS and F800GS. You can find them on ebay for about $20-40. Search for tuono mirror or F800GS mirror and you will find them.
