Holy cow these fit like a dream!
To start it all off I got these handguards 2 days early so that's always awesome! I opened them up and figured they were a bit big but once I got them on my 2016 DR650, BTW this bike is stock with a 22 mm bar, they looked normal.
Absolutely could not be more bolt-on, took me like 30 min, no cuts or shims. The way the inside mount dips is perfect for all the cables to route over top and out of the way. They feel super rigid just mocked up, I'm sure they'll take a beating before anything happens. Just awesome and would totally recommend them to anyone.
I also have the Acerbis 6.6 gal tank installed, so I had to modify the already modified(to fit the tank) signal mounts to clear them but that wasn't difficult (just move them forward).

Bigger is better
I'm glad I chose the largest shield, better protection and good looking. The massive structure appears to be very sturdy and strong.

Top Quality
I bought these guards for my Africa Twin and must say that they quality is superb! It took a little time to install them but no modifications were needed and they improved the look of my bike. Highly recommend these for your bike.

Look great
I really like how these look on my DR650, they are a lot bigger and stronger than the stock hand guards. The only complaint I have is that the screws that fasten the plastics on don't thread very well. I could not get 2 of the screws to thread all the way in, I made sure they weren't cross threaded several times but they reached a certain point about half way in and would not turn anymore and I was afraid if I turned anymore I would strip the screw head. FYI for Suzuki DR650 owners, the balls on the end of your levers will need to be cut off to fit these guards or short levers.

The best
These bush guards are the best out there. They are quite large and protect your hands nicely (and levers of course). They also look great on full-size bikes! The only thing I don't like about them is that the handlebar inserts are not reusable so every time you have to remove a bush guard from the handlebar it costs you about $11. They are also quite expensive to begin with. I recommend the MSR Evolution Handguards which I have on a different bike. They are less money and have reusable inserts.

Best there is.
Had a set on my old klr, now have them on my T7.
Top notch bats. Hold up extremely well to these huge bikes falling on them. Offer excellent coverage for your hands when uts cold or your buddy is showering you in gravel.

Questions
Any idea if these would fit on a 2017 Africa Twin?
These hand guards are universal, and come with mounting hardware to fit both standard 7/8" and 1-1/8" bars. You would need to check the diameter of your bars to check the compatibility of this item

Stupid question... is this price for a pair or single???
The price is for left and right guard. I have them on my 2015 KTM 350XCFW and they work great, they give more coverage than the Enduro Engineering ones I had on and are way more protection that the factory guards.

Will these fit my 2020 Honda CB500X?
The handguards have no specific fitment information associated to them, so we cannot guarantee the fit on your bike. The item includes a X-strong mounting kit, which works for both 7/8 and 1 1/8 handlebars. As long as your handlebars are one of these diameters, then the guards should work.

Will these fit a 2025 Tenere(T7)?
These handguards don’t have specific fitment data, so we can’t guarantee they’ll fit your bike. They include an X-Strong mounting kit compatible with 7/8" and 1 1/8" handlebars.
