Apex hand guards

[mooney26]

Any recommendations on what works best, I put on the Rox 2" risers on the stock Apex bars so should be high enough to clear the windshield (I hope)

Should have just gotten Rox handguards at the same time!

They told me at Rox the handguards on the 07 handlebars (which I upgraded to) are a pain to put on and the salesman didn't sound too confident on what it takes to put them on so thought I would snoop around.

They need a better salesman! here they are on an older pic of my 07 Attak GT:

Actually, Rock himself who founded Rox just died in an ATV accident in SD a month or so ago. Another family member who had been employed by Rock took over the business and is running it. Really sad situation.



Someone should tell them they do fit 07 handlebars if one uses a little creativity and just loosesns up things a tad and moves things around. I also had to use a longer bolt running all the way through to the mount and some shiny spacers to hide said longer bolt, but it fit just great.....

I also just put a set on my 2007 Attak, but i used the mount that they recommend for going on the bend of your handlebars. I mounted them just after the bend, where it straightens out quite a ways from the controls. The mounts are highly adjustable and seem to work well, not sure how sturdy they are though.

I can upload pics this weekend, I will be home from school and near my sled. The only thing I would worry about is the height above the windshield, I put on a low chrome windshield and had to tip the guards up a littler higher than expect. But I have the stock riser, no extension.

What kind of windshield do you have Super Sled?

They look sharp, is that a little mirror on the outside of the guards? Do you remember the cost?

 

[mooney26]

Done, just ordered the hands guards with the mirrors, thanks for the pix!

Hey Badger, that's an awesome way to mount that mirror! Does it give you better range of vision mounted that way?

I have never seen them mounted that way, what is the advantage ?

I have the rox on my apex and I too love the mirrors, they are hard to make out anything but I just look for a light and I know that I haven't lost the guy behind me yet LOL

 

[mooney26]

Badger those look sharp I've seen the mirrors on the outside but not mounted up like that are they wide enough to get outside your shoulders
