which handguards? looking to install a set on my 06 apex

[ridgerunner]

Which are the better handguards to install on a 06 Apex? Looking to get a set to help with the wind protection! Thanks

Last year I had the Powermadd but I still found my hands were too cold. I think there was still too much air hitting my hands. This year I bought the new gauntlet style handguards that Yamaha is offering. Still a little chilly but far better than the Powermadd set up.

I got the rox speedfx guards with custom apex specific mounts, worked good and look sweet, mounts are a little weird to get aligned but after a little time they work out fine and hold up good

This year I am trying the Skinz trail series. At first I was skeptical, thought they might move around at speed. I have ridden a few days where the temp is 0 and below and couldn't be happier. They stay in place and keep the wind off. The other thing I like about them is if it is real warm out they are easily removed and stored in my seat trunk. I also upgraded my bars to the 06's, that made a huge difference. 07 Attak.

any vendors here for the skinz line?

Yamaha makes their own version of the skinz series handguards. Got them on my 06 RTX and love them. Might be a little easier to get your hands on.

Last year I put on the Powermadd hand guards. I bought the Skinz for the really COLD days. They work great and they fit right over the Powermadds. The only problem I found with the Skinz is they attach to the very end of the hooks and you lose some leverage steering but it's better then cold hands!
