yesterday I was about 2 minutes on the bike , and took a local dirt road ,
front wheel slided away at about 30km/U and bang back slammed to the ground ,

the oem handguard broke off (damn quite shocked how weak they are)
and offcourse , the handlebar is bended

So gonna order a 28MM magura EX series ,

anyone fitted these ?

offtheroad mentions special fastener is need , but they will work with the oem armatures
so I'm a little confuse here , can I fit the 28MM like that on the bike , and will for example the throttle and brake assembly still fit on a bar with a bigger diameter ?

they also sell a mounting kit for 28MM so suppose you will need this in order to be able to fit the new handlebar ?
