Tuning and modding » Hand Guard recommendations

Coming from a Tiger Sport 1050 and also suffering from Reynaud's looking for recommendations for easily fitted and neat hand-guards a non SOS R1200RS.
What have you fitted? Do they fit without bar risers? Have you a photo of the fitted?

Also looking at fitting a tank bag with a ring mount what have make you fitted, like to carry spare visor and cleaner, water, documents, change of gloves and a few shack bars when on a trip.
TIA
Bike will be collected next week then a few mods done

Had to look up your condition to know what it was.

I installed BarkBusters…partly to protect levers in a tip over but also to shield from wind chill and rain when riding.

I went with the Storm version, but the various guards use the same mounting frame.

I went with SW-Motech Ion tankbag (discontinued). Smaller than what I’m used to, but it only serves to hold items I need ready access to when riding. The ring mount system ensures it doesn’t touch the tank. That said, you will need to try to replace the mounting spacers with stainless and coat the bolts with rust retardant. It’s secure and easy to remove for gassing up.

Non SOS...............What's that?

Been pondering some hand guards myself, as my last 3 bikes all had them as standard. Barkbusters seem to be the go to option, will have a look myself.

I have a small Givi ring mounted tank bag, I just checked their website, and the one I have is no longer available, but most similar to this:-

Wunderlich guards don't fit on a 1250 without risers or compromising the mirror position.

There is a "Hand guards" thread in the 1200 RS technology, General topics section

For trips both of us have the SW-Motech Engage Pro.
My wife made new rain covers from waterproof rip-stop nylon because the provided covers are bulky and take up too much room in the bag.
A rain cover is needed in a hard rain. This summer we rode through about 120 miles of a hard rain and ended up with an inch of water in the tank bag.
I tried a shield and if you place it in the back of the bag it's a good fit.
A shield might also fit in a Daypack Pro.
I have a Micro-Pro and it's way too small for a shield.

Thanks for all for the input, will take a read and ponder.
Off to the NEC bike show in 3 weeks so will hunt down a recommended bargain.
Thanks again

Wessie - I do understand that, will have a good look around and view a few products in the flesh, so to speak.
Only 35 miles from SBS anyway so will be worth a trip out when have the bike and it is dry day.
V8 diner does a good bacon roll which is nearby.

I need rid of some Barkbusters.

Decided not to fit them as I like the breeze on my hands in summer.

To be honest, I thought there may be a risk of fouling on the RS at full lock.

Did enjoy Barkbusters on a previous R1200R.

As an ex Tiger sport 1050, 2017 and 2019 owner I can assure that the BMW Heated grips are the closest thing I have come to a thermo nuclear device when compared to the useless overpriced Triumph heated grip offering
