So my TR650 took it's 4th spill. I have not been on the bike for any of them. This time I was rolling onto the lift and the kickstand was down. Anyway my right-side Touratech handguard broke along with my brake lever. I have a replacement brake lever that I bought as a spare for my old BMW 650. So does Touratech mold their own handguards? Or are there copies from other companies? Or anything close that I can use the same mounting hardware?
Good question...I took one apart thinking about swapping out to fat bars. TT looks to have it's own way of doing things, a small screw threaded through the guard, spacer, and bar-end weight into a bar insert. Most guards are a single (larger) bolt that goes either into a tapped bar or an expandable bar insert. If I go to fat bars I figured I'd drill out the bar end weight and use the larger bolt and insert. These are chreap and available. Who makes's em? Could be either Acerbis or Polisport. Probably can't buy just one...but worth asking the TT chat guy, usually Ian. https://touratech-usa.com/Store/Touratech-Hand-Guards-Husqvarna-TR650-Terra-Strada View: https://youtu.be/NbSGxZFziBk
Would these work for mounting the stock bar end weights on replacement aftermarket ProTaper Contour bars? If so, what are they called so i can search for them?
They should work on most any commercial bars that have a standard I.D. Most commercial fat bars and skinny bars both have the same I.D., Pro Taper, Renthal, whatever. What I was saying before about the Husky bar end weights is they have a smaller screw than normal that screws the handguard and the weight to the bars. My plan is to drill that bar end weight hole bigger to fit whatever my insert of choice will have. Google handlebar inserts.

Yes I am. And thanks for the info. Chat wasn't working so I called and the part is on the way for about 1/3 of the price of the entire set. Not many people even know about XR1200's. I'm guessing you are one of the lucky few?
...'at's great. I reckon you just busted a clamp or insert? Mike told me you had a Terra wondering if I bought yours because I bought mine in Bakersfield. I do believe we rode together one time on a wild lap through the Sequoia's. I was the guy tagging along on the...
No, I actually busted the plastic hand guard itself. I do remember. Around May 31. We are going to Santa Barbara this year. I have 3 XR1200's now. The mileage will be dropping a bit on the XR's with my KTM 1290 Super Adventure.
I see, couldn't stay away from the Orange only a different flavor Loved my 950A. one of the best ever...
