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.

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. |

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.
