radiator guards

[Justin Hirst]

I'm a KLR250 owner in search of hand guards similar to those that come stock on the 650. I don't necessarily want the big wrap-around hand gaurds used for lever protection, but rather hand-farings for wind/cold protection. I've seen the Acerbis "flag" handgaurds at kawasaki's site, but they don't show them to be compatible with the KLR. Does anyone have experience fitting these type of hand gaurds to a 250? Would the guards made for the 650 work? (I have an '04 KLR250) Thanks, Justin Northern CA

Handguards for the 650 mounted very nicely on my Chicky's Sherpa. Rod http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/zrod73026/detail?.dir=1daa&.dnm=b003.jpg &.src=ph

I hate it when the server changes the links I put in emails. Lets try this again. Happy trails has the guards you are looking for Here for $86.00. This includes the radiator and reservoir guard. Or you can go this rout: The PD Nerf, for $269.00. I have used BOTH on my bike and prefer my Nerf Bars. I've learned from experience of installing both on various KLR's, that they are easier to install w/ the fuel tank removed.
