    Cycra Probends

    Ditto,and I recommend the ones Cycra makes that are available right here that mount on the triple clamps.
    Since you're new to handguards, I'll just take the oppurtunity to tell you that when you mount them do not tighten one bolt no matter what, start every bolt, then tighten them up.
    I say this because we're always hearing where somebody thinks they had to cut,bend,heat, etc.,etc., to "make" their guards fit when in fact they had to do no such thing unless they had their bars cut down in width severely.
    The other thing is on the throttle side you don't need to cut off the very end of the grip with the raised edge on it.That looks ,uh, half a.... .
    Hollow out the end out all the way to that ridge, a Dremel with a sanding drum works great.
    On the clutch side the hole only needs to be about as big as the bar mount insert. Doug

    They offer two types of flags, small and large. I prefer the large for trees and stuff.
