@@CameraCommando My handle bar was not designed for this kit. I had to drill my handle bar and do thread with a tapper. Was pain in the ass to install, tookme over 3hours with sone mods causr I cannot use the piece that came with it. But I did it. Nice result. Very happy with.
Use a cone shapes drill bit It worked great mut make sure to Slightly Adjust your throttle body to the left a little bit so it doesn't stick it only has to be about a millimeter
I ordered some Barkbuster Storm guards . They have the bar end weights you can add for vibration. You made that install look easy. I hope mine goes on as easy.
So I installed these on a 2018 XT250 and recently dropped my bike on a trail. While it saved the clutch lever from getting broken, the mounting bracket closest to riser slammed into the gas tank and dented it. Either my forks are slightly out of alignment now or the handle bars are slightly bent from impact. Honestly can’t tell which. My point is that these “guards “ can create their own brand of damage. Just a heads up.
That is solid information and the first time I've heard of it. I idea when I put these on was to primarily protect my hands like bark busters in the woods. I have noticed they kept my hands a bit warmer in the winter while at speed. But you are right, mods cause different damage issues. I hope you figure out your issues on the fork or handles and get back on the road soon. Be careful out there bro!
Hi, the expander bolt sort of tighten as you screw them in and the reverse as you loosen. I suppose if you "lost" one accidentally inside the bar you could use a magnet or a wire hangar to fish them out. Overall it was very easy to install and you should not be afraid to go for it if you are sitting on the fence about it. Good luck my friend.
@@CameraCommando thanks for the reply! Eventually i went with the custom shorter regular bolt, which went directly into the bar end weights (but twice as long then the oem ones which held the plastic handguards). Didnt want to risk ruining the thread inside the bars, with the expanders. Cheers!
They have adjustable sections that look like they fit many brands. They did not require any mods. I did have to drill a hole in the plastic plug inside the handlebars of the motorcycle. I kind of messed up, and ended up just cutting off a tiny piece with a sharp knife. Your bike may be different, but if you watch the video, you'll see what I did. I'm pleased with them. They have saved my hands several times.
Apologies, I did not see your comment until just now (somehow I missed it). I am reviewing this inside of the youtube studio app, so I don't know which video you are referring to. If you send me the title, I'll respond. My bad bro
Hey King, I'll be happy to answer your question. I'm trying to figure out what part you are talking about. If you give me a bit more info or a minute mark in the timeline I'll clarify for you my friend.
I was wondering the same... There only one rubber piece in the kit. The long tube you put over the expension sliding nut. I am not sure its supposed to go there... ???
@@CameraCommando I found it and put a Parabellum windshield on my bike too. But I don't really like it. It's not tall enough or wide enough to keep any wind off you. I think I'm going to go with a handlebar mount universal windshield. I have one coming for my new Kawasaki W800 (you can see the video on my channel) and I'll see how that fits on my XT250. There are so darned many out there and you just don't know how they'll fit/look until you order them.
I really like mine because it is thin enough to let me drive through the woods and squeak through brush. It's enough to cut wind for my short highway trips. I usually drive slow through trails so I'm not faced as much with wind as you might be. Let me know how you like your new shield.
Sir, I can't say. When I looked at mine, I was not sure about it either, so I left it in there. I imagine you could drill it, but I'm not recommending that.
My friend, I think it was maybe $85.00 dollars. I apologize, I cannot remember. But, these handles have saved me already when riding through the woods, so I highly recommend this safety equipment.
Thnaks 4 video. I will install mine today! Ride safe!
Congrats! How did it go?

It worked great mut make sure to Slightly Adjust your throttle body to the left a little bit so it doesn't stick it only has to be about a millimeter
Awesome suggestion my friend. I think viewers will appreciate your comment. Thanks!
@@CameraCommando 😁
Step bits work so much better
Those would have helped Bobby!
Love your videos! Thank you
My pleasure.

I'm having so much fun riding this thing I haven't noticed vibration. I'll pay attention next time and let you know if I notice.
@@CameraCommando Mine has been great. No abnormal vibration. 👍
Glad to hear it. No vibration here either.
Man, on the throttle side I used a hacksaw worked great !
Good job!!
Definitely learned how NOT to cut off / drill out the throttle tube….
ha ha ha ha! Yeah, meeeee tooooooo! but hey, my error helped you out though right my friend?
@@CameraCommando Yes indeed.

On the throttle side, any issues with the throttle by taking the end plastic off?
Not at all bro. no issues whatsoever
None whatsoever.
Hi man, thanks for the tutorial
One question, how do you remove the expander bolts if needed ? Any issues there?

Hi just found your channel i was wondering if these fit perfectly or did u have too modify any thing?
They have adjustable sections that look like they fit many brands. They did not require any mods. I did have to drill a hole in the plastic plug inside the handlebars of the motorcycle.

@@CameraCommando you already did😂
Nice video brother good job!
Thanks Moto! I'll try to make some more.
How does the handguard fit around the brake reservoir? Can you take a picture from the front and top?
I fits great. It is completely adjustable from the connection points. It is like a universal fit, so you should have no problem mounting it.
I just loosened the nut and adjusted it to fit. It was easy
A dremel tool would have done the throttle side fast, easy, and smooth.
You know what, your are exactly right. And I even have one to boot. Hmmm. Hindsight is 20/20.
Okay, is the rubber piece supposed to go over the expansion nut?
Hey King, I'll be happy to answer your question. I'm trying to figure out what part you are talking about. If you give me a bit more info or a minute mark in the timeline I'll clarify for you my friend.

I don't know. It didn't come with any instructions. Each bike is different I suppose.
The rubber go all over the piece that slide into the handle bar.
Where did you get the windshield?
I think I put the link in the video description in the windshield video, which is on this same channel.

Ordered online from a company called Parabellum. parabellum.com
If i would take it all off, how can I take off the inner handlebar piece?
Sir, I can't say. When I looked at mine, I was not sure about it either, so I left it in there. I imagine you could drill it, but I'm not recommending that.
Not sure!
Don’t use wood bits on plastic! you wouldn’t have destroyed the throttle body...
100% correct bro. Next time.
what price
iam pakistani from lahore
My friend, I think it was maybe $85.00 dollars. I apologize, I cannot remember. But, these handles have saved me already when riding through the woods, so I highly recommend this safety equipment.
Price for which part?
