zombiphone Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I like those handguards! Been shopping around for a set myself, and still haven't been able to decide which to go with. Do you feel the shields make any noticeable difference when you're riding at speed?

qldnat Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Why do you need hand guards for street riding? I always thought those were for trail riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claustro Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hi , I installed the handguards for many reasons: 1) I can use spring gloves much longer, I use the bike every day with every weather and every little protection is much appreciated. So for answer zombiphone yes, if you asking me if handguard protect from cold wind I can confirm you that they works. 2) I like it very much it give the bike a street fighter look i like so much 3) main reason ; protection of hands, I drive in Florence Italy , a very crowded traffic city, I had handguard in all my bikes and I can't count how many times they saved my fingers:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at going on a long motorcycle trip this coming winter, and this is exactly why I was looking to get some.

avocadosandwich Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I love those handguards! I might have to add those to my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I wish I had had those hand guards the other day on the highway when a rock fell out of a dump truck, bounced into one of my fingers and then my chest. THAT HURT LIKA MUTHA! If you ride in the fall and winter those will help to keep your hands warm as well. AussieMT07 Yeah, they were probably originally intended for trail bikes to stop limbs, etc. from cracking your fingers but now they're common on street adventure bikes.

stefano225 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 claustro I like the radiator cover and was checking out the Urbano Bruni website,41.99 euros that's a bargain I wish that would deliver to the USA.My parents vacation in Sicily for few months every year and they're coming back in November,I might ask them to bring it back.

claustro Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hi stefano glad you like it , keep in mind that the original Urbano Bruni is with a chrome finish mesh , if you see my photos I changed it with a black mesh. Plan about 5/10 extra dollars if you want to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member GAZ Posted October 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted October 3, 2015 Keeping a constant pace in 40s will murder your hands even with winter gloves. Those are some nice mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qldnat Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Fair enough. It's hard for me to relate to the riding in the cold I guess. I live in the tropics so I have the opposite problem, I want as much air flow as possible to stay cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooschnickens Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Those are some really nice mods. I like the auxiliary lights, the install looks very clean. I may have to invest in some handguards, after riding the FJ-09 with them I'm totally sold, especially with cooler weather upon us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fooschnickens Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 @riverfox Payed 81 dollars with cable ( good quality ) shipped in three days with dhl to Italy I assume those were $81 each? That's not bad, nearly half what other companies are charging for a similar product, and these have a higher output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I think it's appropriate that a street fighter wears gloves. (hand guards) Makes it look tuff, like it's ready for a fight. +10 Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakusaizou Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Awesome mods, giving me some good ideas to make mine an all out touring bike next year, especially the flood light. No fun riding in complete darkness with just the stock lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
