Have any of you XB owners used these?

Do they work?
Are they worth the money?
Were they easy to install?

thank you,
Mark

I just installed carbon fiber ones from Trojan-Horse. Extremely easy install but haven't had time to test them out. I got them mainly for winter riding as my hands are the only things that get cold in the 35 degree weather

Had them on my TT and they did a great job of blocking my hands from the cold air. Could really tell a difference. They were standard on the TT so I don't know about installation although it looks like it would be easy.

Thank you for the info. They should extend the riding season a bit here in Maine.

I run them on all my buells.. they really block the wind on chilly days. Touratech sells an upper spoiler for them that exaggerates their effectiveness, too. Make sure you get the handguard kit with all the mounting hardware!..

Melie where you located in Maine? I'm around the Augusta area. I sent you a pm with my cell #, give me a call sometime! Take care -Arthur-

my XB cityX and my XB Ulysses both have them and they really work great. with a set of heated grips that you can find on fleabay for around $50 or so, really makes cold weather riding alot more bearable.

ASB sells the mounting hardware separately if you get the handguards from somewhere else. Just an FYI

They sell a "removal kit" for those want to remove the hand guards.
They do sell the bar ends for the STT/ulysses but no screws
unfortunately i to have hand guards but no mounting screws and HD dealer in Germany quoted at 90$!!!
So looking a place that sells the kit

Email them, I just ordered all the mounting hardware less than a month ago. They didn't have some of the screws in stock when they thought they did, so I had a wait a few weeks but I got it all through them (I had bought the handguards elsewhere)
