For most manufacturers, handguards are merely an afterthought. While developing the engine, chassis, and electronics takes years to perfect, most stock handguards leave a lot to desire. Some adventure models like the Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 don’t come standard with handguards, and if they do, the original equipment usually doesn’t stand up to intense off-road riding due to flimsy construction.
That’s where aftermarket handguard specialists Barkbusters get it right, with robust handguards that offer plenty of protection and enough customization options to suit any rider’s needs. We’ve seen a fair share of new adventure bikes join the fray in 2021 and 2022, and Barkbusters handguards are an excellent first addition to the new and revised models.
