It depends what you want from handguards.

I'm primarily after protection from branches and the like interfering with the hand controls, my secondary need is for weather protection. So for me a pair of fairly flimsy bendable guards would be ideal.

But the bike came with the Yamaha guards and my first 'off' resulted in the left hand guard snapping. I've never ever had that happen with other guards. Fortunately someone was selling a pair on eBay which had a damaged right hand guard!

I expect to be riding through Spain at the end of December which I know from experience can be bitterly cold, so for weather protection I now have a pair of Tucano muffs fitted over the top of the handguards which together with my Oxford heated grips means my hands are lovely and cosy.
