Some people have fitted them, and they'll be along soon to tell you about it.

A word of warning,,, they don't protect the levers in a fall.... when I say fall I mean literally falling over. I've seen the levers bent double after the bike fell over (while on the side stand).

If you are looking at hand guards for protection, you'd be well advised to look also at the Barkbusters or the Acerbis offerings.
