F3 Hand Guards

[llyrad]

Thanks

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

Excellent, I never even thought about that chain of stores being in Canada, but they do ship to Canada! That definitely gives me more options. Thanks!

In cold weather my wife uses snowmobile grip covers that she slips her hands into. She swears by them because she hates gloves. They slip over the ends of the bars with velcroe.

Barkbusters are single mount for spyders.
if you want to mount around bars and thread ends I suggest you look at BMW GS model guards maybe gs650 they are about the same price here in Australia as barkbusters .
Also try touratech site (Handle bars and fitting section)

Hand guards

I love them on my KTM! Not just temps, but bugs, rocks, rain - blocks all of that. At first, I thought they looked goofy. First long trip, discovered hundreds of dead bugs, nicks, chips....all of which would have been on my gloved hands. They rock! I'm seeing them on lots of custom bikes, as well. Great idea! Get some!!! Joe

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.

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! :clap:
It's too bad that our Adirondack Deerflies and Mosquitoes would make mincemeat out of them. nojoke
I had a deerfly chew a hole through a chamois shirt of mine up there... while I was wearing it!! :yikes:
We measure the "skeeters', by the distance between their eyes... :shocked:
When you see a "three-incher" coming your way: load the 12 gauge quickly!

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.

just installed a pair on my wife's 2015 F3S SE6 and a pair on my 2016 F3T SE6. Will try to get a pic for you :thumbup:

How tough was the install? When I pulled off the throttle side handlebar end cap it didn't look like there was a lot of room to install the handguards with the spring that was in there. Any tips or tricks? And what part number did you use for the installation kit? Was it the universal one.

 

[jaherbst]

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.

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 :2thumbs: .... I have heated grips. Haven't used them yet but I got 'em

Easy

My wife could have done it.
I try to post a pic. Instruction simple and complete. You put the same cap back on everything goes on the outside of that cap. Spacers and arm longer bolt. Very Easy twisted throttle.com part# BB.STM-007-01-BK $107.95

I am thinking they would bea great add to my bike for fall and early spring, in the morning the ride to work can be quite cold and if you keep the wind off your hands that is half the battle off staying warm .

oh and also for those upsate ny bugs in the middle of summer can leave welts and bruises
