I noticed that alot of guys in GNCCs run Accerbics (sp) and they seem to hold up pretty good.

I run Powermadds in the winter to keep my hands warmer, I used to run them in the summer also, but I found them to get in the way when racing mx. Other than that they are a great guard. Here is an old pic with them on.

I have no complaints about my Powermadds. The universal mount goes on easy and quick.

I like the Cycra stealth gaurds, they look awesome IMO and can be used on 7/8 and 1 1/8 bars.

Just got a set of power madds for Christmas and put them on. They work great and are easy to adjust to where you want them on your bars.

Where do you order them

Groomsy

let me make myself feel like a dumbass.........,my UFO's did fit, u just don't use all the parts....i found all this out after looking at my friend's bike.....they require a lil tweakin to fi on stock bars like mine and his.......but should fit awesome on aftermarket bars...either way it shouldn't take anymore than 20 minutes to mount. u can get the regular brush guards for around 50 and the ones with aluminum inserts are around 60 or 70 i think

i got mine through one of my local Honda dealers. they had them in stock, but ur local shop may have to order them depending on how much stuff they keep on the shelf.

put my new UFO handguards on yesterday....they look awesome and work just as well as they look....i highly recomend these handguards
they really look great on 400's......they aren't great big and have 2 holes in them(i guess to look like Alian etes since they are UFO's) they really match the rest of the body on mine....i got black ones iand my 4-wheeler is yellow but it mixes in with the rest of the color scheme on the bike

There pretty sweet, I can get a picture for everyone shortly.

Another bonus is they have removable vents too. So if its hot in the summer you can take the vent covers off and keep your hands cooler.

They look and mount great. The removable end piece is a great idea also.

I've been using UFO handgurds for a lil while now, and they seem to hold up real good... The only thing I dont care for is the way they mount, and if u go over the bars its going to be hard on the wrist.. so Just hope you dont case a jump.. I gave around 40 bucks for mine?? But it seems to be money well spent as of now. Heres a pic, it's the only one I have with the hand gurds on it. So it will have to do for now...
