I used to use wrap arounds not no more use sxs burly handguards with beefy mount . There made from the same material as there skid plates . You hit a tree or something it just glances off whatever doesn’t even try to take the bar out of your hands
Excellent video. I was going to get Barkbusters but forget about it, I'm getting these ones. The secret mirror thingy is really cool. How's it working when you it say 30 mph?
Thank you! Definitely get these! I dropped my bike so many times and smacked trees with these guards and they still have yet to bend or move. When I bought my '21 TE300 I cut in new threads and swapped these HDB guards right over. For the mirrors- they tighten down on to a rubber grommet. You can get it fairly tight if need be
Biggest problem with these handguards is they only really work on KTM/Husqvarna bends (which have low sweep). Most bars have a higher sweep so the handguards don't lineup properly and the swivel mounts don't have enough reach
You need to come back after a year or more of use. You gave a legit review of the EE parts since you've used them in every circumstance. And who the hell runs a tap with an impact gun????
So I recently got a new bike and all i had to do is cut in new threads to my bars and just literally took everything off my old bike and installed on the bike. If you’re going from KTM to KTM or KTM/Gas Gas to Husqy everything should fit (they have the same bar mount dimensions). But you’re going from one of these bikes to a Sherco or Beta then the bar mounts might be different. You can just order the correct mount from HDBs site.
@@somestuffithoughtyoumightl6985 yes you can. You can just take everything off and then reinstall the old bar mounts and sell. I’m sure you can even install regular non threaded wrap around (like enduro engineering ones) along with the stock bar mounts
i enjoyed the video, but putting that tap in a drill made me cringe
They can definitely take a beating! No complaints from me so far.
Those things are a badass work of art. They look beefy and awesome.
Using an impact on a tap combined with that noise some would call music. I guess everyone has to start somewhere.

Could you reinstall the old bar ends when you sell the bike, or the big threads ruin the bar?

@@motion_mx Thanks! What about the bike you remove them from? Can you reinstall stock setup for resale?

How firm do the mirrors stay with all the vibration?
I can check that for you! I personally don’t ride with mirrors since I’m mostly in the woods but now that you mention it I will do some testing
Where can I buy this handguards? Have a link?
Link is in the description for their page and my specific kit from the video
