Ok, so I see a pair of the hand gaurds that are on the Hyper for sale on Sleez-bay. The seller wants like $350 or so. Question is will they fit on an 08' S2R. has any one tried this. There are a couple of topics out there as to "get moto hand gaurds" they keep the wind off the hands. I like the idea and i also like the fact that I would get bar-end mirrors all in one. With the turn signals built in. If any one has done this, please post pics.

I was looking at those. sorry can't help you figure out if they fit. I couldn't bring myself to spend that much for handgaurds that I would only use during the colder months. So I made my own. Today I am going to finish up painting them, not the prettiest things but they will work... i think  |

hi scduc,
i replaced the bars on my retard with rizoma bars because the overall width with the mirrors out restrict's your ability to filter.the bars off the retard have a vertical slot milled at both ends 6mm wide and 9mm deep.i tried the hand guards on my s4rs but personally i didn't think that the look was right for a monster.the guards,mirrors and indicators were sold to a guy with a multistrada and he cracked one of the hand guards because of the missing slot so be warned ,[he didn't want the bars].well good luck with the project i hope this answers your question

Not sure this interests you. But I wanted to solve the frozen fingers for this winter. So in looking at more than a few places I came across something from Moose Racing.
It is a foam handguard that is relatively cheap, easy to install and I'm getting one.
Moose Racing Foam Hand Guard
Part Number 0635-0661
Cost is $19.95
I'll let you know how it mounts up/works. I just don't have any room on my clip ons so I would have to fab something... These mount with a velcro wrap on the inner side, and screw mount to the bar end. We'll see what happens.

The stock handguards from a Suzuki V-strom are a nearly direct fit if the have the hollow pivot bolts for your levers. The plastic needs trimmed about 1/4 inch around coffin brake master and the inner diameter of the end needs widened to use the stock bar ends.
Not the prettiest things, but the did help keep the wind off my hands. Ended up buying a V-Strom, so now they are mounted on it.

Ive been wanting a set for a while and bought a set for a KTM without checking clearance on the master cylinders. Had to give em to my Bro-in-law for his 950 SM. For a bike with the radio masters looks like the only ones that are sure to fit would be those for a HyperMoto.
If you come up with something that will work, I'd love to know.

A week ago I emailed acerbis about the hand guard situation.
They did reply today with info that they are coming out with something.
"We have the 'Dual Road' handguard coming out in December that will work
perfect on your bike. Email us then and we should know who will be
stocking them. "
We'll see if it works out. I was specific about using them on an S2R with clip ons.
... now you know!

I have Buell handguards. They bolt right on and are OK for moderately colder temps and very good when its rainy, but when it gets down lower than the mid-30's they dont do much of anything. V-strom handguards are where its at. They rock, but are a bit more expensive than what I wanted to pay.

Does anyone have pictures of the vstrom handguards on a monster? This sounds like it would be the ticket for my monster that I have somewhat set up for touring.
