Quick Overview

Designed and made in Australia these aluminium backboned handguards bolt on to provide rock solid protection for your bike, hands, and levers through rally, enduro, dual sport and road riding.

Barkbusters BHG1 VPS Handguards Description



This is the generic model of the VPS handguards and must be combined with a suitable fitting kit for your bike/handlebars (see fitment list in 'technical info' tab and select them in related items)


The VPS handguards have a wide inner area allowing plenty of room for the long levers found on trail bikes. Having used a number of popular brands of handguards over the years, we can say that Barkbusters tend to fit far more easily and snugly than any others, with far less bending required to get a good fit. Check out the fitting video in the 'Photos/Videos' tab.


 


VPS plastic handguard with aluminium backbone.


Includes variable height wind deflector.


Available with Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Red, Silver, White & Yellow plastics.

  • From bruce at 06/09/2011 12:08
    • Is this for a single guard or do they come in a pair?
    • Its a pair. All the handguards and fitting kits we sell come as a pair, ie one bikes worth!
    • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No
  • From Dylan at 22/03/2012 15:47
    • Are these to some extent universal fitting? I am wondering if they would fit my renthal 966-05 bars on my dr350.
    • The handguards are universal but you select which bars they work with by changing the fitting kit (see the related products section).

    • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No
  • From Dave Latham at 07/04/2012 10:16
    • Will these bars fit my renthal 755 bars on my TDM 900, if so which fitting kit will I need?

      Ta
    • I cant be 100% sure as we have no experience of Renthal's road bars, but they are the same outer and inner diameter as the dirt bike ones so should be okay. You would need the STD fitting kit for straight 7/8inch diameter bars.

      If you are unsure of the fit please be extremely careful when test fitting them as we cannot refund heavily marked items (most of the time tightening up the bar inserts and mid bar clamps will mark them to some degree). You should be able to see if they will fit without tightening them up

      Hope this helps
