Bark Busters for C650 GT

[Hack2004]

Has anyone put Barkbuster hand shields on their scooters for wind blast, weather or rain protection?

Привет! Вместо защиты от ветра я собираюсь поставить акустику на подиумы. И приятно, и полезно!

not me, but great question!

I've got them on my c600 sport. They work great, allowing for normal gloves in winter. I did have to make a washer to go at the end of the grip, before the bar weight. Used a stainless gromit from an old tarp. You'll have to mess with it a bit to make sure it doesn't interfere with brake lever. Also, the internal aluminum bar to make the bark buster more rigid has to be removed, again to not interfere with the brake lever.

Here are the Bark Busters on my 2017 C650 GT. No clearance issues with windshield in any position. Also effective in keeping hands Covid free in the windstream.

Thanks for sharing Hack2004. I'm really interested in one of these as it is essential when riding in winter conditions to have the hands protected from the wind.

Could you please confirm two things:

1. isn't the air deviated to your legs at high speed (as I read it happens with Isotta handguards)?
2. I assume you mounted the "Single Point Bar End Mount (threaded)" (ref. STM-007-BK), am I right?

 

[Hack2004]

Yes
Yes

Ok but so how annoying is it to get air to your legs?

Do you find it is still worth it to mount the handguards?

The air stream delineation allows for better COVID exposures by creating differential low and high pressure zones. Also keeps my boots cleaner.

Serioulsy, the back busters do a good job o keeping or reducing cold air flow impacts to hands and also allow some to wear same gloves all year round here in Sf Bay Area.
