dimmers Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Barkbusters S1 hand guardsRight, i don't normally post really long reviews with lots of pics, but i really think this is worth it. These hand guards are brilliant, and i really wish i'd bought them a couple of years ago!First off, let me say that Chainspeed (the company i bought these from) are brilliant. They packaged the hand guards really well, delivery was next day, and they also threw in a few ear plugs for free, and a 3 pack of Oxford neck tubes, nice one Chainspeed!!! I will be using those guys again for sure.Anyway, these hand guards are supposed to fit most naked bikes, but i'd always check with the company first before buying. However, they fit my 2010 Hornet perfectly.Went out for a ride this afternoon (it was around 6 degrees) and wore my leather summer gloves on purpose, and managed the whole ride without frost bite on my hands... they are going to save my hands this winter, no more putting my hands on the engine for warmth at traffic lights again! (i hope I'll let the pics speak for themselves...(one final thing, the instructions are first class as well, not that you really need them because they're so easy to assemble and fit, but it's nice to see some decent instructions for a change).
