    The Vstrom ones do look the business. I may go that way.

    Mine came off for the summer. I like to take advantage of the vents in the gloves.
    They will go back on for winter.

    My handgaurds are still working well. I only use summer gloves and have been caught out in driving rain and the handgaurds have kept the majority of the water off my hands and since I have had the guards on I have not experienced numb thumbs.
    The gaurds lights are still good and guys I have riden with have commented how much more visible the bike is in their rear vision mirrors (doesn't happen that often).
    Pretty sturdy too. Have been tested to 200kph+ and haven't moved.
    Very highly recommended.

    Jeepers. At 200k testing the hand guards were up to keeping even light brush off the hands would be sphincter tightening!

    I'm in the market for a pair of hand guards now.

    I want some that mount at bar end and to the levers/bar.

    Has anyone fitted some bark busters or similar to a road bike?

    I'd rather not have to modify mounts. But wouldn't rule out making up some mounts.

    Depends what bike. Unless you have larger than standard levers I would look at the Zeta range. Same concept as barkbuster a but more room for big hands.
    Also there is a range of sizes of bar clamp that would fit.

    I have a pair of unused hand guards hanging on my wall. They don't fix to the bar ends tho. Plastic in a black carbon fibre finish. Look okay but don't fit my right side bar due to the master cyl being too close to the bar.
    If you are out this way (Te Awamutu) you are welcome to have a look and see if they might suit.

    Acerbis do a set that mount in place of the end weights, they work a treat. TSS Redbone in the Hutt stock them
