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 :D
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. |

What's that on the end of your lever?

So at the very end, is the end of the lever actually bent around - then the heat shrink over that? Is that what I'm seeing?
I think I have about decided to just take my levers to my machinist/welding buddy, and get him to cut the balls off, cut an inch out, and weld the balls back on. Maybe I should throw some heat shrink over that. I like shorty levers, and the guards I got but haven't put on yet don't quite have room for stock levers - fancy new levers aren't in my budget... |

Pics for Kojack06

Got a PM from Kojack06 asking for some more detailed pics of the handguards and clamps. Here they are:
Attachment 15136 Attachment 15137 Attachment 15138 Attachment 15139 Hope the pics provide the detail you're looking for. Also, the bash plate and engine guards are from TCI/Turbocity. Quality is good. Instructions not so good. Most importantly, you'll need to remove the engine guard everytime you wish to replace the oil filter. |
Many thanks Sir!!

Question: how bad is the interference with the front brake hose where it passes beneath the left bar mount. I haven't fully mounted my standard Moose guards yet, but it's clear that under fork compression the hose will at least rub on the mount, if not be forced to distort around it. No doubt this will cause some wear issues. I could flip the top hose guide to make the hose clear the guard mount, but then the front left blinker will be in the way. Just curious what you've seen, or work arounds others have tried.
