Levers/handgaurds - the age old question

<< < (2/2)

Friar-Tuck:
Here's a few sites to check out with handguards.
I had gotten the mooseracing for the boys and they never broke another lever.
They were about $40.00 if I remember correctly. The deciding factor was not all
the broken levers. My oldest hit a tree and smashed his fingers behind the lever.
Had I had any forsight that would have been avoided.  :oops:
 The lever broke and he had to limp back home with hurtin' fingers and no clutch.
 I have the cycra's on my bikes and will go with either a tripleclamp mount or the woodsblaster all the way across the bars jobber for my next purchase.
 I did seem to have a problem with the fit and lever placement on the cycra racer pac. I cut my bars to 28" and thats where the fitment prob came in.
 I think once you try the  handguards w/aluminum frame you'll wonder how you ever got on w'out 'em. I remember having brush snag my front brake and really tickin' me off  :-P

I've used the Cycra pro bends before too, and I had problems with cables and stuff as well with them. 
Before I had the Cycra's I had a pair of the moose ones with no bend in them, and I would constantly have one come loose and spin around (you'll know what I'm talking about if you've hit the ground hard or something and they twist out of place) or something always going wrong. 
On my 250 last year I used the Fastway F.I.T hand guards, that comes with the top bar mount that you bolt them too, they worked great because there's no way for them to really to come loose and spin, BUT the only issue I had with them is after one good wack, it actually twisted the metal, and after alot of tugging and clamping in the vice to try to get it back to normal, it was always a little tweaked and I had to run my front brake lever in a position I didn't really like because of it. 
And like I said, I'm trying out the MSR hawkins hand guards right now, and fitment was the best I've used so far and the roomiest ones too!  I'll know in the long run how they hold up.
