Hi guys, have any of you fitted those to your R1250rs? |

Did you resolve this? What do you think of the guards? I like these but $212 for the guards and $143 for the bracket makes me pause. |

I have tried cheaper alternatives. An old visor cut to shape but bend not changed. 3mm spacers,flat washers. setscrews cut to make studs and screwed into mirrors then the spacers are fitted to the mirror as its assembled with nuts inside. soaped.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) LH shield.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) RH shield.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) |

That's brilliant. Have you ridden in the cold? Just wondering how effective your method is in comparison to a hand guard that is directly over your hands. |

Can't say that I have ridden in the cold as such. The wind and also rain really keeps off my hands and to feel the wind I need to put my hand about two inches outward from normal or upward a similar amount. From what I had read on the Net handguards on the bars tended to add up to quite a high price. I have a Triumph Sprint GT and made a more sophisticated version of this. With that I rode to Donington Park for a BSB testing day when the temperature was only about 4C. Without the heated grips switched on and reasonably thin gloves I genuinely never had cold hands. I also made mirror extenders and bar risers just because thats how I wanted it. |

Also have made brackets to fit the sprint panniers to the RS. I have an Akrapovic silencer that I tried to sell to fund secondhand panniers which never sold. I figured that as I own the Sprint panniers and it would probably be only one or two trips on RS where I needed panniers is it worth the expense. So out with the welder. They are set well forward to help with balance and are about 41 inches overall, which I read is what Shads finish at. They feel fine on bike and large enough for full face helmet on both sides. |
