Ed, Can I ask where you got the EMGO guards? Thanks, Chuck

Does anyone know if the Tusk handguards at Rocky Mountain Part # 192636 (Tusk D-Flex) are the same as the Tusk handguards Part# 191104 without the plastic. Is there a better plastic cover than the D-Flex (part# please). Thanks. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I have my eye on Acerbis Rally Pro Handguards and Maier Deluxe Woods Pro Hand Guards. Have not decided which to purchase. Any thoughts on pros and cons for each pair? KLR650 Southwest desert rider. Lots of sand to travel through; but only rocks to fall on.

Before you decide, I would look at the CYCRA Alloy probends. They are a little pricey, but offer lots of hand room, plus no bending is required to mount them. They make lot's of other styles also including an all high impact plastic version that cycle gear sells for under $70.00.

The rally pros look great, and will save your levers. They are knd of soft, though. You will find yourself looking for a vise to bend them back into shape. I think the Maiers may be made of sterner stufff.

I have a set of Maier woods pro guards with Woods pro full coverage plastic covers. They're rugged, and looks like they'll last a long time. Plus, I didn't have to bend them to install them at all which made installation a breeze. See pics: http://www.nbdsc.ca/forum/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=1781 http://www.nbdsc.ca/forum/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=1791 If you have the red version of the KLR, I would go with the black plastic as the red does not closely match the color of the bike.

Can the stock KLR plastic handguards be fastened to the Maier Woods Pro Guards, or does a fella need to buy the $30 plastic bits that say Maier? Kevin Powers White Bear Lake, MN

The Emgo guards are worth a look. With some shims and drilled holes, the original plastic hand guards can be bolted to the Emgo guards. Mine have been going strong for 2 years. HIH Norm [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Anybody out there running without any handguards? I'm wanting to take mine off and haven't decided if I'm going to put anything else on. This is mainly because I've got Manic Salamander bar end weights and all the aftermarket guards I've seen require attachment to the handlebar ends. Second (dumb) question: Are the hubs on a KLR 650 the same as on a KLX 450 or KX 450 F?
