Default Handguards?

The Zeta bends look really cool,and their XC guards are choice.Decent price I think,lots of colors too.Just want to hear from more experienced people before I go and order everything.I know there's a few choices out there-but so far these are the best to me!?

I can't remember where i bought them, but I bought some tusk off roads. Didn't get the platic shields tho. think they were 30 bucks. mounted up easy and so far have saved me from a few broken fingers. The best part i think tho if when you lay the bike down it doesn't rev the **** outa the bike like my mx bikes in the past without guards did

I am also looking for a good set of guards.Preferably a set that does not attach in the bar ends.Just not a fan of cutting the grips and removing the bar end weights.

What I have on my 250SF. It does the job but I don't know how they'd fare on a fall. I use my 250SF as a commuter, not for off-road riding.

I went with the tri-mount kit.

if your lookin for something to protect your hands you'll want to have them into the end of your bars. That's the way i'd go. wasn't as hard as i thought it was goin to be. Yesterday i smoked a pine tree at 30mph with the trusks. Ya i felt the bike jerk, ya i almost went over the bars..... But the way i look at it, my hand isn't broke. If it wasn't connect to the inside of the bar, i guarantee it would have folded up and messed my hand up bad. It's up to you tho.

Ended up cutting the grip ends and removing the bar end weights after all.Went with a set by Emgo.Seem pretty solid.Did have to move the clutch perch and front brake perch in a bit.Got a good deal on a new pair a guy was selling on craigslist because he had sold his bike before ever installing.
