I got some zeta hand gaurds of tardme.

Too big for my bars. Do I need to go and buy some different parts or what? Am I better off just selling em and starting again?

theyre cheap shit!!!! i use to have them and had to grind the mounts so that they would clamp the bars tight. they always come loose and fall apart every time they get knocked. cheap n nasty:mad: got acerbis now and had no problems at all

They are probably the ones for fat bars. Do you have fat bars?

Nah, they are Zeta mounts.

They are cheap, and there are prob better ones. Mine have served pretty well and taken so good solid smacks. Just remember to locktight or thread tape the bolts cause they wil come loose if you don't.

See if Barty can get you the correct mounts, they won't be that expensive.

Yeah, I don't have fat bars...thought that would be obvious by my post. Obviously I was wrong. Yeah, thanks for tip. Barty...price on zeta thin bar mounts?

Zeta's were only $40 so just looking for something to save my controls in a getoff.

You got a good price on them, I have the same and they seem all good. The amount of abuse I put my bike thru with no damage to them, only on my last ride I chipped part of the brake lever off not sure how but there was some ghosting involved lol

Zeta barkbusters are pretty good protection however the fat bar clamps are made especially for zeta fat bars. For other bar types they are a compromise. Every fat bar maker has a slightly different taper and thats why Barkbusters offer 4 different choices for a mounting kit. This table gives you a rough idea which bars are similar.

What I really want is somebody with fat bars and thin mounts who wants to swap.

do you want the 7/8 bar clamps, or the bar plug inserts?

I have a set of 7/8 bar clamps that came with my ego bark busters that you can have for whatever you offer. Im never gonna use them as I have fat bars, I used the oversize zeta mounts with the ego barkbuster, so a ego mount should work with a zeta barkbuster :blink:

PM me if your interested
