Bark busters for Renthal Fat bar?

[lillyjsm]

What are some good bark busters for the Renthal Fat bar? On my stock 7/8 Renthal bar I had some Moose bark busters and one of them broke..so I dont think I want to go that route again

I have cycra pro-bends on my fat bars. You can see them in my "garage". Probably one of the best guards available.

Hmmm.. Cycra is lookin pretty good right now

Zeta are pretty decent also looks good

I would say that Cycra's have the hands down best reputation. They have many different shield sizes/shapes/colors to choose from as well.

All that being said, I'm going to give the Sunline version a try because the actual guard is anodized black which is the look I'm after this time around.

My brother has Enduro Engineering hand guards on his fat bars and has yet to break anything, and all he does is bounce of trees.

I bought the EE bark busters for my fat bars.  Because I cut 5/8" off each end, they don't fit well on the bars.

All handgaurds suck if they are mounted to the bars.  Do yourself a favour and get a triple clamp or handlebar clamp mount for them. No more rotating issues. If you really want to step it up, get a threaded insert kit for the bar ends. All handguard issues solved...won’t even matter which ones you get as long as they aren’t the cheap chines knockoffs made from play dough.

Nice thread archaeology.

Yeah, those aren't going to hold up to any abuse. I would put the mounts where they natually want to sit, then drill a new hole in the guard 5/8"(ish) from the center of the original hole, then trim and reshape the end.

Yes for the pig, didn't need the spacer that came with them for this bar. Only difference was the spacer.
