which handguard is better

[hittoomanytrees]

I have a tall windshield and the OFT relocator. My stock handguards hit the windshield.

I am considering the powermadd star series or the sportech speedguards. Does anyone know if they will hit the windshield or have an opion on which is better?

I have the skinz soft ones, but on the throttle side they always flip up on lake runs.

Thanks

Get a smaller windy

Seriously though I was going to say go with the soft one but i see you didn't like them.......

Get a 2" riser and the hand guards won't hit anymore

this is not to be a smart #*$&@ or something. but.. why do so many people whant a big windshield? why dont go whit better helmet etc? just wondering cause i am never cold when i ride and i dont use the windsheld.

I personally do not like the feeling of the wind on my upper chest and helmet. I came off a XTC 700 triple with a huge windshield and I guess I got used to it.

I am forcing myself to get used to the XTX windshield this year now that I have the yamaheaters. I hope i can adjust (last year I rode with mid height and side deflectors)

I got a couple sets of the new Rox Flex-Tech's for our race sleds. We ran them last year and loved them then they sent us the new updated versions for this year and I am even happier!!!

I'll post a pic after we install them

I've been happy with acerbic on all my other sleds. I have the powermadd on my atv and they are not real great. I wouldn't want them on a sled.
