Barkbuster handguards
I want to fit dirt bike type hand guards to my R100GSPD. I believe the Australian Barkbusters are better than the Touratech ones but am unable to find out which model fits the bike. The makers were unable to help. Anyone out there fitted them?

Hi,

Acerbis with the Aluminium bar are the ones to go for, they come with a standard 22mm bar fitting if they dont fit length ways then Drill a small hole in the Alu. bar to make them fit.

Saves paying out loads ££££ for the TouraTech ones.

Quite right - I got exactly the same handguards as TT sell but from acerbis' UK importer. A lot cheaper, same for all plastics! It seems TT UK have started to specialise in late delivery of overpriced items.....
