2017 Rocket III Roadster (Edsel)
I am wanting to put a set of hand guards / Bark Busters on my 2017 Roadster. Does anyone know of ones that will fit, or fit with a minimum amount of fabrication?
This has nothing to do with wind or warmth. It is about lever and hand protection from side view mirrors, so they need to be multiple mounting point not just bar end mount. Did a search of the topic and didn’t find a lot of material on this topic.
 
Try Bark Buster's, I think I have a set of Hippo Hands I bought and never installed, because you kind of need hand guards to keep them off the levers, and I think I found some there before I bought, then forgot about them
 
Oops, sorry, missed that you had already mentioned barkbusters, somehow
 
It may have been on the .Com site but I remember someone used a set from a Tiger but I don't remember which model. It didnt need any fab though.

I think that was the same post that I had read. Not much for details though. And as I mentioned I need to keep fabrication down to a minimum. Since leaving MN I no longer have an entire shop of tools or network of pals with abilities to do the things I can’t . Kinda like working with bear skins and stone knives.

I think the Bark Busters that are listed as a fit for Edsel are a single bar end attachment

Chris that's my bike (how didnt you recognize it?) was about to post re this thread then say you've beaten me to it. It was left down in Christchurch for about a month. Message is do not get a puncture in TeAnau worst place in NZ for an repairable puncture. Three goes and it still blew out had to get a car home, brand new tyre stuffed too. Budget MC Spares stored it for me and I got it back just before they shut the country down, they refitted my screen later. Good ride home too.

However the Barkbusters are great and easy to take on and off, I only fit them on ling runs only thing needed was a longer cap screw for the ends. You can actually get a set that fits the R3 properly but in my incompetence I ordered the wrong ones then only after modifying them found this out. Easy mod though and the cable ties work great.

Didn't try and catch up with you guys as a rush visit, didn't even see my Dad as was isolating already from all my other rushing around the country, him being in his 80;s an all...

Pictures from my 5-star accommodation on the way down.
 
How do you fit the bike in the luxurious RV??????????
 


WTF.
Well it certainly doesn't look like the bike last time I saw it¡!!¡!

Just to let you folk know Sleeves lives on the North Island about 700 miles away.
