I went to the bike shop today to book it in for its 1st service.

I happened to mention that I would be interested in a set of hand guards and the lass got the catalogue out.

She then informed me that Yamaha don't make hand guards for the XTX and after a quick phone call, she told me that they never have done .

Correct me if I'm wrong but did they not have them on the official Yamaha website until a few weeks ago???

They don't make them they order them from other company and put yamaha logo on it.

Thanks for the reply mate

There are loads of hand guard types out there. The yamaha hand guards are really acerbis hand guards rebranded as yamaha ones. But you can find the carbon copy ones if you search for champion hand guards

Don't suppose anyone on here has a pic of these fitted by any chance???

Plus, can you still use the original bar end weights or do these get left out?

Hi,
I have the KTM ADV handguards fitted to my Ten (& Super Ten), which allow use of the bar end weights. No drilling/cutting required (except possibly to clear the brake banjo bolt) & only around �40 from KTM dealers.
Although plastic, they have been rigorously tested on both , and survived unscathed, as have the levers.

Acerbis rally 2's, not the cheapest but v nice indeed as far as good solid handguards go. Also check out 'ego barkbusters'...

Another update.

Someone recommended these;

Just for the record, they dont f#cking fit either







If you look at the 1st pic, the problem is the inside of the bars. You can see a smaller diameter within which stops the fitment in the 2nd pic from going in properly.

The 3rd pic is just to show the difference in length.

Fitments aside, even holding the handguards in position, they would not fit the XT.

that seems like a bit of an excessive fitting for what it is...

They look the exact same shape as the ones I just tried though?
