a bit of slippage in an impact is fine it stops things breaking i always ride with my hand controls set so i can move them with a bit of effort opposed to tweaked up really tight:cool4:

the handguards do pretty much the same job as the bar end weights think about it this way if you weighed your bar end weights and the handguards the hand gaurds will be as heavy and the bar clamp is just there to steady them:thumbup1:
