I'm planning to fit my Eh13 with a pair of those simple aluminum type hand/finger/controls protector bar, hoping that the OEM plastic handguards can be fitted on the top of that.  I tried the cheapest EMGO bars, but that proved to be too small.  It would be okay if I wouldn't mind cutting off the balls from my brake and clutch levers.  Well, I think, if they brake off, it's okay, but I'm not going to cut them of on purpose!  I could hammer it to fit, but I don't want to do so until I investigate every other solution.  So now I'm looking for something larger than the EMGO.     Used EMGOS on mine, painting them with a black baked-on enamel, then screwed the factory handguards back to them after trimming on them a bit. Outstanding setup. Had to trim the ball ends on the handles like you say. Again, no probs.   -Tom '96KLR 650

Its not mine, really! Electrics aren't my bag baby! (Though it seems to me there should be some trouble-shooting procedure to see if your regulator is indeed shot, perhaps an auto-elect. guy instead of a moto wrench would know.) Jeff--just watched Austin Powers last night for the umpteenth time.
