F3 Hand Guards

[F650624]

The Barkbuster Endmount Storm on my F3S with a close up of the mounting. With the frigid arctic blast from the north it only got to 64F yesterday and today. Of course I went ryding.

I mounted these on my 2016 F3-L: Barkbusters STORM Single Point Bar End Mount Handguard Kit for 6mm & 8mm Internal Threaded Bar Ends | STM-007 STORM. SKU: BB.STM-007-01-BK Works great for cold weather riding.

Put a set of Heated Grips homemade for $20 behind or in them. A good pair of ski gloves which are insulated mostly on the back while less so on the palm (for gripping poles) work well with heated grips. Follow the link.

Would it work with Lidlox helmet lock as far as the installation?

In my experience - no matter which ones you install - you won't be able to see the mirrors. At list on 2017 F3S.

This thread has inspired me to pull my old Barkbusters VPS's from the dust bin to mount on my F3s. Had to order a new mounting kit, though!

I spent some time adapting these only to discover that they block a good bit of the mirrors. With some fine tuning they still might work.

Interesting!!!

I'm gonna watch this thread. I'd love to see a pic of what you are referencing here.

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.

Hello F650624, do the hand guards interfere with the mirrors? ....Treva.

i

The BarkBusters did not interfere with my rear mirror vision(also have the Tricled convex mirrors). I was able to keep my LidLock helmet holder using longer metric bolt(6mmx60)

Hand guards are great! Like a fairing for your hands, blocks wind and debris.

Kind of an old thread, but I also plan on putting hand guards on my upcoming F3-S. Gonna install the same type I had on my FZ-09, that also used a 6mm thread style. Buy some Acerbis X-tarmac knock offs for $37 and head down to your local hardware store for: (2) longer 6mm SS 6mm bolts, (2) washers and a couple rubber washers to put between the guard arm and Spyber bar end. Total investment of about $40. They work great, have a carbon fiber look and removable wind deflector. Here's a couple pix from a past FZ09.

I put some handguards on my V-Strom, they were SUzuki OEM accessories so they fit like they were purpose-built (ha). As noted earlier, they are wonderful in cold weather, and they keep bugs and pebbles from smacking your knuckles in warm weather.

Geeez .. I had it ready. They use a single point mount (bar end), and not a handlebar secondary point. They hold firm at speed.

Buy Harley or BMW factory accessories. Just as expensive as Can-Am

I mounted a set of CanAm ATV handguards on my F3S only to discover that they covered a good portion of the mirrors when I was on the road. Bummer.

I see that on multiple threads. Not gonna spend a lot of $$ in the event that's the case.

$25 for a set of CanAm ATV handguards. Mounting is up to you though.

Just ordered a set of these, with accepted offer of $40 and shipped from NJ (already in the mail).. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Pair-Mot...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Could have gotten them for $25 from China, but didn't want to wait 3-4 weeks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Pair-Mot...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
I'll likely have them mounted up this coming weekend. I'll post results/pix.
