I'll still highly recommend the Highway Dirt Bike$ hand guards. I hit a tree at about 20 mph during Greenbrier square in the middle of the right hand guard and all it did was throw me to the ground. The extra wide (tall?) dual portion of the guard protects your fingers and your levers if you keep them rotated low for standing.

I like the new rad guards!! I'm looking for some for the 450X :) I smashed mine good a few weeks back at moto cove shakin the dust off. I guess I shook to hard :)Boom Boom wrote:Glad to see you went with the Bullet Proof....was turned onto them years ago and will not use anything else. Side and front protection with easy bolt up.J&J wrote:Well, a couple of weeks ago I was saying my new Ktm radiator guards were really nice.....
And Boom Boom sugested I go for a little ride at Shade to shake the new off......
Well I did & found out the radiator guards are NOT so really good.....
Well I might have seen a guy trying to test some new Bullet proof designs guards & they looked really nice so I got some....
Well these are really nice, guaranteed for life, & fit like a glove on one side & made a good template for getting the bent one straightened out on the other side. I think these are the best guards out there.... Stay tuned I'm sure I'll be checking them.
I got tired & struggled on one really rocky hill. I think I need to back some clickers off a little more for the rocks. I will say the Ktm guard kept me from totally destroying the radiator.
And yes Mike I shook the new off. Still loving the bike though just need to run a couple hundred bucks of gas through it. More seat time is what I need.
How do the bullet proof guards fit? I doesn't look like it offer side impact protection? I do see they make them for the 450x? LEt me know your thoughts, I might end up investing in a pair.

They fit over the front very tightly. Had to spend some time straightening & untwisting for it to fit that side. I've straightened radiators before with a 1x2 and a hammer. It's surprising how well they will straighten with a little patience. These guards bolt through the radiator mounts to the frame & to the outside where the louvers were. Holds the radiator very securely & are strong so I don't think they will bend again. Although they don't cover the side, the guards are a little wider than the radiator so side impact should be on the guard not the radiator.
Check out this video, Jeff talks about side protection & you'll see more of the guard. I'm sure the Honda ones are similar.
