Nice video! I had the same issues putting my Acerbis hand guard onto my 250F as well, clutch lever moved closer to center, cut sides of hand grips, cut plastic on throttle end, fiddle with the inner clamp not fitting the handle bar well enough, and I managed to jam the pro taper pad in place but the edges are squished. Good of you to document these issues for others. The hand guard still sticks out past the throttle on the right on mine as well, but is still very functional. Saved my hands and levers from impacting trees / bike tip overs on numerous occasions already.

I just bought the white ones for my blue and white xt350 but brackets wont line up either way and to get it to line up were it goes in handle bars the retainer peice with the ears broke off so i bought a different brand hardware kit hopefully it works
The best way I found was to line up the guard bar with the clutch lever and front brake lever to give ur fingers and hands the best protection. They’ve saved my hands too many time to count now.
@@northropoutdoors4278 Thanks for the quick reply! I wasn't sure how they were supposed to go so I tilted them a bit downward - about a half inch below the levers. My thinking was that: "If I down this bike, the guards may go upwards and mess with my brake line." But that likely won't happen if I just tighten the daylights out of the screws, right? 😄
Thank you these are the only red handguards that actually match the Honda color on this bike

I don't think non-universal (bike specific) handguards are made ? I wish they were
Should the wraparound bars of guard be even with the levers or a bit downward? And by how much? Thanks

Just snug I’ve had the bracket expand too much on other bikes and make the throttle hard to twist
What size drill bit did you use to hollow it out
I used a “step bit” until the hardware fit in the bar
My throttle tube isn’t hollow for a bolt? 2008 Honda CRF450R and help?
If it’s plastic, that’s what I used the step bit in the drill for. Just make it big enough for the hardware
Hope that helps
Do you think it can fit a Crf125f?
Yes they will. JFG racing pegs
