KLE 500 handguard protector replacement
Hi folks,

Has anyone fitted another (proper) handguard protectors to the KLE?

If yes which ones do fit?

Thanks,

Frank

have you tried the Acerbis Rallyguard or Brush guard (the former has an alloy insert which is worth the extra if you are planning on crashing)? They fit pretty much everything. If they dont fit you could always get some renthal bars.

I think the bars are a problem on the KLE with regard to fitting new handguards. Some people tend to fit renthal bars to cure this.

Ash & Deb on this site fitted a set if I remember right, to the standard bars but was a big job.

Check some of the older links for more on this.

Not really a problem - the cheap chinese alloy-under-plastic jobbies (in imitation kevlar matt!) The trick is using a small dremel-type tool on the standard bar ends to knock the plugs out... too easy!
