Hand Guards on a Monster?

[cyrus buelton]

Just curious.

Has anyone installed some handguard for added wind protection during cold season?

Trying to make my bike as year round as possible.

I am having heated grips put on, but also would like some wind protection.


Obviously this will be a rigged up contraption, but curious if anyone has done it and if you could post some pics.

Industrialgirl had some enduro type handguards on her monster at one point, try gettin in touch with her.

I do. They work pretty good. I will try to post a pic.

  .it worked.  I cant believe it. The angles have been adjusted so they sit a little higher now.

Buell made some.  They may still be available.

I had some on mine for one winter before buying my other bike.  The stock guards from a Suzuki V-strom are a direct bolt on if you have coffin type levers w/ the hollow mounting pin..  Maybe not the prettiest, but have good coverage, and easy to take back off when it warms up.

I ran the V-Strom units on my SV650 and they worked great. scduc's setup works better with the looks of the bike, though.

Subscribing, I might do this too.

handguards will only be a fall/winter mod.

i am having CC clip ons installed right now and some heated grips, just want more wind protection.

i want to turn my S4r into a year round bike.

this is my next step.
