I don`t mind riding with them
I think u have a problem with yours cause of the colors(2 diferent ones) and u get kind of a strange feeling

Just my 2 cents

word of advice don't do MX with the wrap around style... i had them on my 406 and cased a double and my hand came off the bar and got stuck inbetween them and the bars... i actually snapped the bolts off that mounted them with my wrist...


cost me a trip the the ER:o

I love mine moose wrap around!

I want them sturdy so if I hit the trees I don't loose a finger or two. I had the non wrap ones they moved to much if they took a hit. But they worked for roost!

my two cents!

Well they actually match perfect, the sunlight is fudging up the blue.

It just feels strange, like your hands are confined. I just need more time with em I guess.

Right now it makes you want to look down at your hands while your riding:confused: :huh

I really like hand guards too. I'm running the power madd set up on my EX and I've got acerbis flag's on my snowmobile.

Eh, I guess I like handguards... They have to be the non wrap around style like alot of people said. The non -wraps are great for MX since they only need to protect you from roost, and still give you some room to work with. The wraps are good for woods riders since they are more rigid for trees and what not. Take my advice and dont bust no handers with the handguards on. I did that when I first got them installed over the finish line in a race and almost didnt get my hands back on the bars! I almost made a complete flake out of myself on that one...

They are a must for woods racers. Saved my hands many times...:o

I didn't think the power madd set-up was hard at all, same type of deal as the Acerbis/Rox kit I have on my sled.
