Handguard question

Post by ralphyimages »

Hi all,
Can some one confirm/deny whether handguards for the 1150GS are compatible with my 1150R, please?

Thanks.

Yes, they are compatible. Here is a discussion on how to install them.

I installed a set on my bike, didn't follow any instructions as it was fairly clear by looking at the supplied objects. No cutting or modification of any kind was required. They are awesome.

The Moose Ears work great, and need no cutting to install. Just make sure you keep some clearance arount the brake and clutch levers.

I am using Barkbuster S7 Storms, which are excellent with the added bonus of being easy to fit as they bolt on to the bar ends only so no problems with fouling cables etc. They are very rigid and give plenty of protection
