Reinforce the original handguards with a model-specific aluminum construction from Evotech Performance
Original plastic handguards mainly provide protection against wind, insects, and light splashing dirt. However, in a fall or contact with an obstacle, the plastic can be damaged relatively quickly. With a handguard protector, you add a sturdy metal construction around the original handguard and the outside of the handlebars.
In this collection, you will find handguard protectors from Evotech Performance for various BMW, Ducati, and Triumph models. The sets are developed around the shape and mounting of the original handguards. Therefore, these are not universal brackets that need to be bent to fit.
A handguard protector normally does not replace the original plastic guard. The metal parts form an additional outer structure that helps support and protect the original components.
A handguard is the visible panel that directs wind, rain, and dirt away from the hands. A handguard protector is a sturdier bracket or construction around this guard. The two product types have different functions but are used together on suitable motorcycles.
Are you mainly looking for a different look or more wind protection? Then check out complete handguards. Do you want to support the existing original handguards more firmly and better shield the outside of the levers? Then a handguard protector set is the more logical choice.
The aluminum construction can help prevent the original handguard and lever from directly hitting the ground in a minor fall or contact. The actual effectiveness depends on speed, impact angle, and surface.
No handguard protector can guarantee that the levers, handlebars, or handguard will remain undamaged in every fall. Therefore, consider the product as additional protection and not as a complete crash structure.
Select the set based on the exact motorcycle model, version, and year of manufacture. The shape of the original handguards and their mounting to the handlebars can vary within the same model series.
Also check compatibility with bar-end mirrors, handlebar weights, and aftermarket levers. These parts may use the same space or mounting points. After installation, the brake and clutch levers must be able to move freely, and the handguard protector must not touch anything at maximum handlebar lock.
