Handguard prices
what prices have you guys been quoted recently for the genuine Tenere handguards and wind deflectors?
the last dealer i was in was listing the prices at �90 for the guards and �90 for the deflectors. after i picked myself up off the floor i read it again to make sure i wasn't seeing things, and i wasn't. anyone else had a better price? Pete. |
Approx �95 for the guards and �25 for the deflectors
I will have a brand new set for sale this week if your interested ? |
The last time I checked prices the guards were about �92 and the deflectors were �36.

Pete - I think you've been mis-quoted.
The Guards are good, well made, strong as an Ox and well worth the money. The deflectors are small pieces of plastic, I paid �50 for these and I did have to pick meself up off the floor, even the dealer was shocked. I paid �59 (i think) for the guards I think the overall package is roughly the same price, but they've increased the cost of the guards and reduced the defelectors - they are very good though. |
I was quoted �115 all in (guards & deflectors) a couple of weeks ago but still not sure whether to bother or not. They do seem less hassle to fit than some of the alternatives.

They are small true, but they do a great job. My last bike had huge handguards and they were less effective than the Yamaha ones, big isn't always better. I have the Acerbis ones on the TTR and they too have small deflectors that are very good. I suppose bigger ones cause a bigger vacum behind, in turn causing more turbulance and an air flow. Small deflector=small vacum=less airflow, I suppose! It depends what you are expecting them to do, they keep the driving rain off (but your gloves will still get wet) as well as the wind blast (but remember -2c is stil -2c !), doubled up with the Oxford Heated Grips in the winter I can get away (on days above 0C) with my intermediate gloves (a bit thicker than summer gloves but without loads of padding). I paid �50 and though at first 'no way are they worth that' but then I kinda come around, at �35 I wouldn't hesitate now. |
Right! That settles it then.
On your recommendation I will order the deflectors. Cheers, :thumbsup: Barry. |
had the deflector provided with my bike but the bars ware back-ordered ...
so I brought the deflector in a box and I'm waiting for the bars ... |
has anyone got any ideas on how i could possibly increase the size of these Genuine Yamaha deflectors just slightly to give a little more protection from the weather?
