So. These are powermadd's hand guards in blk/blk option. They are vented with covers so when it's hot you can let air go through them


first off Jim with forbidden risers was cool. I have been pestering him monthly on these and excited to get a hold of the first produced sets


so I installed these and it took about 30 minutes. The kit came with 2 options. Putting a rubber hose that expands inside your handle bar and the other is a metal sleeve that expands. I opted for the metal sleeve

my throttle side was the first guard so as in all my installs I messed up and cut to much rubber from the grip before inserting the sleeve. So in the pictures you can see a gap where as on the clutch side the brackets fit and finish us much better

I did have to cut the nubs off the levers in order for everything to fit but I'm all good with that as I have thought about doing it before

the direction from power madd say to drill your hand guard with a 1/4" hole so you can bolt the hand guard to the mount. I opted not to do this yet and am trying a strong construction adhesive in order to have a nice and smooth front guard

Lastley the 2 supplied flat brackets just bolt to your mirror stalks. The longer of the 2 brackets goes on your clutch side as you can see in picture #6

They look good. I think they give your bike an even more sinister stance.

These Look great! Did Jim Give you any info on if in future kits you could avoid having to cut the ball off the levers?

Also did you get any info on price once they are available for sale? I checked the site and it is still under construction
