I need handguards...wind chill is crazy right now and I refuse to wear bulky gloves...

 

I've debated handguards for a while, usually a couple months in the winter my mind wanders there, but I don't love the look.

I know, I know, function over form....I just sometimes wonder where the line gets drawn. "My motorcycle is too cold, the wind is too windy" etc etc...that's how you end up within a windshield, lower fairings, handguards, heated grips, heated seats, a CD player, a coffee mug holder and seat belts.

 

Forbidden risers is coming out with his version of hand guards soon. I'll be picking up a set They are like what Joe the powder pro used to make

 

I hear you...I personally think they look alright, plus the added function of the reinforced ones (cage crackers) is a nice idea...

 

I bought a couple of sheets of 3003 aluminum scrap. If got a prototype handgard together, but I've been to lazy to finish the job. I'll eventually finish them when it's gets about 90 degrees knowing me.

 

Cage crackers look to un-aesthetic to me. I like the dirt bike/at styled ones.

There are others on the market currently, but they all look out of place, just something off about them

but a nice set of powermadd's sure look great. Or at least to me

 

What ever happened to joe? Powder pro used to post here all the time. That's who made my guards

 

Love my hand guards!

 

Picked up some hand guards off the Dyna IG for $35 shipped. pics after the makeover

 

How bad can the wind chill really be in California? 2 weeks ago, the temperature was reaching down to -54C (-65F) with the wind here in Saskatchewan. At least you can still ride...
