after market hand guards

[cathouse willy]

I've noticed that the new klr's have bar end weights. Has anyone mounted after market hand guards to your new model klr? How did you deal with the end weights? It's time to replace the stock guards on my 07 but this is complicated by the bar end weights I've added. They deal with bar vibes so well I don't want to give them up.

I took mine off and used the treaded bar end to mount the protector. The extra support of the guard caused a reduction in vibration at the ends of the bars. Never missed the weights at all.

I cheaped out and made mine using aluminum flat bar and buying the accebis mounts. Bent it with turbo pluming torch and a vise around the outside of the original guards then screwed the guards to the flat bar. They've taken a real beating and stood up well
