Close-Fitting Hand Guards

[Ryan]

Hi folks!  I’m just wondering if anyone out there in Tenere land knows which hand guard sets sit closest to the bar.  The reason I ask is that I recently installed the Twalcom dash mod (mounts the instrument cluster and GPS/phone side-by-side), and I’m looking for the lowest-profile quality hand guards that give the most clearance between the hand guards and the dash when the bar is swung full lock.  Any ideas?

Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures with swung full lock available but maybe it will give you an idea about the bracket position and approximate dimensions with just these pictures:

Acerbis Endurance X:

If you look closely at the 2nd picture, you’ll see a small round spacer in between the bracket and the guard-rail. You could potentially leave this spacer out and save one more centimeter I guess. Fitment will get slightly worse without the spacer possibly.

I’ve got the Motology setup which is slightly different to yours but I found my barkbusters were too close for comfort to my dash. I installed some 25mm bar riser spacers and now have plenty of clearance. Might help your situation

The HDB guards currently on my T7 are much further from the grips than the Barkbusters installed prior if that helps.

Acerbis X-Factors (they come with the same black aluminium bars as most Acerbis guards) did hit my standard dash, since I've flipped my bar risers. I had to grind off the ends a bit.
