F3 Hand Guards

[llyrad]

I saw a post some time ago about someone installing Hand Guards on their F3S. I am getting around to doing it now and was wondering if you could point in the right direction on what I will need. (btw I have an SE6 so no clutch reservoir to worry about).

I am not sure what the diameter of the handlebars are and what the threaded ends of the handlebar are either...

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Plus 1.

Very interested in this thread. I would like to add hand guards to my F3L. I had them on my BMW's and they are very useful here in Canada when temps are low or riding thru bug infested areas. The heated grips help on cold days but they warm up only the inside of the hand and the outside gets cold.

I was thinking about something like this, but I don't know the diameter of our bars on the F3.

Hmmmmmmm......, cool looking concept, but they are rather costly.

And these are even more expensive. Wow.

Spend over 20k on a bike a few more $$ on accessories not that big of a deal

Oh, I understand. Regardless, for me, it just seems that so many of the accessories for these bikes are just rather expensive.

I've owned bikes for over 25 years, to include a Gold Wing. It's just I've never seen accessories as costly as what we've seen for the Spyders.

I like the rear view mirror.

Why? Cant just be me but the hand guards are for ATV's running thru brush & stuff
Where the spyder is happy not going. Gloves for the summer & maybe some bar mitts for winter but most will just wait till it gets warmer again.

There are a considerable number of road bikes with hand guards, as they are very useful in keeping the wind off the hands in cooler weather. Especially useful in those climates where it doesn't snow! Thus, year round riding.

Very interesting idea! Put lid lox on both handles so I think that leaves me out either way..

Not to mention Rocks and road debris.

There's many riders on the FJR1300 forum (including myself) that installed hand guards on their bike. On a cold morning they can make 30 deg seem like 40 deg. A big help when you factor in wind chill and you don't have heated grips !
I used the hand guards from the Suzuki DL1000.
Not sure if they could be made to fit the Spyder though.

But now .... I have heated grips. Haven't used them yet but I got 'em

I'll make you a deal, you come up and live in Northern Canada with the temperatures we have here and you will understand Not to mention the number of huge bugs that I've taken to the knuckles that leave welts (June bugs, wasps, bees - more than what you have down there in Louisiana due to the insane heat). I know this because I went from Canada to New Orleans last year. In NO you definitely wouldn't need something like these, but you and I live in very different worlds

Sometimes you need to think outside the box.

Handguards on a motorcycle?!?
Did you know that the mirrors on the RTs do a pretty good job of imitating a decent set of them?
They can be a worthwhile addition for all of the reasons that have been mentioned...

...and it's also a cool way to personalize your bike!

It's sad when people jump onto threads to do nothing but bash a fellow Spyder Ryder's idea for their Own bike...

I get You may not like the idea, but if you have nothing productive to add / support to what a Ryder is asking why comment? If you don't like the idea, just scroll onto the next thread. It's people like you that stifle creativity and original thoughts. I don't want my bike to be like yours and everyone else's, I want something original. I travel over 7000 miles every summer so clearly my needs are different than yours and if you opened your eyes and realized that this thread isn't about You, you might actually be able to contribute some positive ideas just my 2 cents.

So again, if you have something productive to offer, I'd love to hear it! and btw I have an F3 (I came from an '12 RTS, and on the RTS you would not need the hand guards I agree)

When did I say that I didn't like the idea? I even mentioned that the mirrors on the RT do a decent job of imitating a set of handguards.. Your reading comprehension skills are a bit suspect...
Eat a Snickers bar, and re-read my post: I'll stand by what I said...

You can get several types and sizes of hand guards at Cycle Gear.
Google them to find the store near you .

Sorry took while to get back on this topic. Id jump on the deal if I could bring (redneck) my guns. Not against the idea, just see gloves as better option (cheaper, provide more protection) &safely think we got you beat on bugs. Thx to all that swampy heat.
("Makeyouspeakunknown" language bugs)
Per your wasp heh well know that they are more active in the heat & quite popular in my area. Here is a cicada killer wasp shell from my attempt at collecting the crazy bugs ive come across & one of the larger June bugs
im guessing you've never had to duct-tape your sleeves tight closed around your wrist , or pants leg to your boot? Few welps on the knuckles is mild. (Would you agree?)

I wasn't there but I still care! POW /MIA VETS

Those look like some real beauties!
It's too bad that our Adirondack Deerflies and Mosquitoes would make mincemeat out of them.
I had a deerfly chew a hole through a chamois shirt of mine up there... while I was wearing it!!
