I just got my white bros. carbon fiber guards in and they won't fit on the throttle side because of the front brake res.
They are a univ fit so I hoped they would work. They don't.
Which ones do? I know power-madds fit but I'm not too crazy about the shape.
Are there any others?

I bought Maier univeral fit handguards and they fit up pretty well but I did have to "modify" the throttle side because of the brake rezzie but it worked out OK.

Here's a picture of them....its hard to see how I modified them but I had to trim off some material to get everything to fit right.

hey, those modquad pieces look pretty sweet! ;)
Those univ maier's look about the same as mine. Maybe I'll see if they'll fit with trimming instead of getting another set. If it looks like I'll have to take too much off, I'll just get rid of them and get something else.

sweet clamp and dash too. :cool:
What dash IS that anyway. I'd like to have the key on the front. My crossbar is REAL close to the key and it's a ***** to get in and out.

The extensions are for the handguards, not the mounting hardware. They help cover more of your hands, they just snap in.

I have the Trail Tech X-bars w/logo clamp, medium bend.
The grips are Spyder grips, and they seem to be working well so far.

What did you use for the key/ temp light? That kicks *****.
