A growing range of model-specific handguard kits is now available from Australian handguard specialist Barkbusters, allowing owners of adventure motorcycles, and a number of street bikes, to switch out inferior OEM offerings with “the best quality hand protection on the market”, says CEO Matthew Phillpott.
The company says it has used its 30-plus years’ experience and expertise “to design a range of precision-engineered handguards “that offer unrivalled impact and weather protection. Such an offering is unique in the marketplace and not available from any other manufacturer.
“In addition to improved quality, a big dealer benefit is that the kits are interchangeable with Barkbusters’ modular range of plastics. This makes them an easy stocking solution for stores needing to maximise shelf space, allowing customers to tailor their handguards to their own personal tastes with the confidence that parts will be in stock.
“Although the focus is mainly on adventure motorcycles, a number of the hardware kits are custom designed to fit many street, dual-sport, trail and rally bikes. The full wrap-around aluminium hardware is compatible with Barkbusters JET, VPS, STORM and CARBON plastic guards. All recommended fitting options are for motorcycles with OEM specifications, and details of the full range can be found on the Barkbusters website: www.barkbusters.net/products/model-specific”.
Recent additions to the range include kits for the Kawasaki Versys-X 250/300 2017, Ducati Multistrada 2015 and up and the Multistrada Enduro from 2016 on, Honda’s MSX125 Grom and the Kawasaki Z125Pro, the BMW R nineT Scrambler and Royal Enfield’s ‘Himalayan’.
“We are delighted by the reception that the model-specific handguard kits have received. As riders ourselves, we are in constant contact with our fellow two-wheeled enthusiasts, and it turns out that a lot of people are disappointed with the stock handguards on their bikes.
“We are constantly evolving the range to include new models, and because we carry out design, prototyping and production here at our facility in Australia, we can react quickly to demand. The feedback has been outstanding and it really demonstrates the importance of listening to the market”.
