Handle bars Wind deflectors

[dyama]

Hello all!
Just to let you guys know that I have received my GT and tried to fit my Sportech Handguards and it won't fit There is not enough room to install the brakets

 

[BlueByYou2000]

Can you move the brake lever assembly and throttle assembly to make room? Theres a way to do it, just take a close look...BBY

It has to work. Someone on this site already has them on their Attak. I will try to remember who.

I,ve tried but they seems to have slotted switches assemblies (gas or brakes) The angles and adjustments of the Sportech don't seems to fit those type of bars!

Updated on access. site there are handguards listed and shown for Apex's. I'm assuming the brackets are different from Sportech to what Yamaha is providing with theirs. I know when I was at the dealer and tried to place a Sportech guard on, the placement of the cables and bend in the bar made it difficult to position it properly.

What do you guys think about the Yamaha handguards?

 

[2BLUE4U]

I like them better than Sportech's. It's a more sleek design. They look fast!!

I like the Powermadd best

 

[RTX Meirda]

I like the chrome series on the Sportech's.

Acerbis looks good too!

Powermadd...not for me.

Hmmmm, I think I might give those Yami's a try

 

[fourndog]

Do you think the yamaha handguards cover as much area as the powermadds and sporttechs?

 

[Exciter Man]

Do these hand guards interfere with the OEM cover or are you able to stretch it over? And if you are able to stretch it over, are they just going to wear through over time. Has anyone had experience with this?
