Hi Milton,

Let's hope it always remains upright

The handguards you show in your post are not the same as the ones I show. The ones that I feel are "great" are straight horizontally, and only bend to go around the controls. The ones you linked, have a very deep bend and this is where they are weak.

I slammed my XTR to ground and sent it over a bridge... the handguards were scratched but protected everything. My neighbor with the TGR (115 kilo bike, unlike your 200+ kilo JH600) purchased the style you linked to and they were bent after the first light tip over in the dirt.

If you really like those black ones, PM your address and I will send you a set for free. They're sitting in my garage with umpteen other ones that I have tried and didn't like.

Cheers!
