michaeldouglas72 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I'm determined to keep my '94 Tedium on the road over the winter but my hands are freezing already! Any thoughts / advice on handguards. I've ordered a couple of pairs but nothing seems to fit.
Moderator Airhead Posted October 2, 2012 Moderator Posted October 2, 2012 Might be worth watching this michael, I know they arent yamaha but you never know they just might do...you'll get the idea if you watch it They are fantastic hand guards though
michaeldouglas72 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks Airhead but these guards are exclusive to the V-Strom. There's quite few sets available but I'm loathe to spend 10 to 15% of the bikes value on new hand guards! Maybe some old milk cartons with the side cut-out might do??????
Moderator Cynic Posted October 3, 2012 Moderator Posted October 3, 2012 What about these. Item number 261100022133 sorry i cant guve you a link but i'm on my phone. Not bad for 20 notes........

Tell ya what, you might think the V-Stroms are expensive, but these Ducati Hypermoto ones are probably not far off your bikes value right now, goo on google 'em, dare ya, but make sure yer sat down when ya do.

Keith59 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Sorry cant help you with makes. But I picked up a set of ,fit everything, guards from my local bike shop (v ten bikes) for £30. They did the job for me and kept the icy wind blast down. Recommended. I had them fitted to a bandit.
Moderator YamaHead Posted October 3, 2012 Moderator Posted October 3, 2012 Guess it depends on what your budget is like These are kind of a cool idea..... ...... even IF they are for a Polaris snowmobile
michaeldouglas72 Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Rookie error No.1, do not visit a motorbike shop under any circumstances, ever! I made this mistake on Saturday morning and came away with Acerbis handguards for a gazillion quid, yes they fitted straight away and yes, they look pretty good. Only tiny wee problemo being the twist grip doesn't freely whizz back of it's own accord like it used to...it still returns but not quite so quickly. Further investigations required once I've sussed out the seized rear calliper....
