I used the Moose curved versions on my klx4 with shortened alu bars. With all the street controls, room is at a premium but the mounts help alot. You can articulate them a bit more than straight versions for fit. Bike Bonz make a slick inner mount that also serve as the top bar mounts.
Bonz Hand Guard Mounts

 

I started out with a set of Renthal Jimmy Button bends with Acerbis handguards with flexible mirrors. I broke the plastic parts for the handguards after a year or so. I really didn't like the mirrors sticking out so I found HDB handguards and ordered new fat bars with handguards mirrors and turn signals all in one.
I really like them. The mirrors work very well, and the led turn signals are great.
The whole shabang costs a few bucks but I think it is worth it

Lcubanaso, whats the part numbers for the handguards, & bars? Looks good.

 

What's that on the end of your lever?

 

Actually, you probably don't want to go the exact same route I did. I ordered the Cycra CRM (center reach mount) pack. Cycra Pro-Bend Center Reach Clamp Racer Pack - Dirt Bike Motocross - Motorcycle Superstore


Turns out, I could not get the guards installed with the center reach mount clamps. I had to order U-Clamps instead. U-CLAMP HANDLEBAR MOUNT SYSTEM

The U-Clamps are a bit longer so they gave the guards more clearance for the perches and levers. Note - The front brake line (where it bolts up to the reservoir) is extremely close.

A few people have said they have gotten good results using the triple tree mounting clamps. Cycra Pro Bend Alloy Handguard Triple Mount System - Dirt Bike Motocross - Motorcycle Superstore


If I were you, I would buy the Cycra's with the U-Clamps or Triple Mount from the get go. You'll save about $30 over what I did.

Live and learn

Good luck.

PS - forgot that you asked about the bars too. Here are the Pro Taper bars I installed: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...T.ac=SLIsearch

 

I have Moose Racing curved handguards on my DR650. They are quite good. The DR has been down hard quite a few times without any damage. About all I can complain about is having to scrape dirt/debris out of between the plastic shields and the metal guard

I went with the Cycra's for the KLX for two reasons. First, they appear to be a little stronger than the Moose guards (could just be perception). Second, I like the look of the Cycra's over the Moose.

 

Hey red, what shield is installed on your bike and does it work? I'm not a road guy at all but we were thinking of taking a few road trips...actually self guided dual sports(always too many road miles), and was wondering if the shield helps at all. Thanks!

 

I have the barkbuster VPS handguards. I like them alot and they weren't too bad to mount on my bars. No trimming of the lever required either. I've heard some of the tighter handguards such as the EGOs required trimming of the lever ball.

 

that was an old Versys windscreen that I adapted to fit. I built it for a long trip I did last year. It worked well.

 

I got the Acerbis hand guards with the built in turn signals. Don't waste your money on them if you can even find them anymore. No bar, poor lighting.




Here are the Pro Rally ones I put on the wife's bike. Hot wife not included. LOL
