I noticed Buell offered heated hand grips. Pricey they are,,, I would rather run Dual Stars for the price but I'm interested in the guards and I didn't notice them listed separately. Can ya get em separately and if so, what's the part# and price? | ||

They offer a kit now for the guards, you used to have to buy it all separate. Not sure if it fits on the 1125's, there might be fairing clearance issues. N1007.1ADMBE Black $84.25 N1007.1ADMBP Graphite Grey $84.25 | ||

They show - 1125R/1125CR Heated Hand Grip Kit [N1050.1AK] {Fits all '08-later XB, '06-'07 XB12X and 1125R models. Stock on '08 XB12X models.} as being listed specifically for 1125s. Are all the guards the same? If so, they will fit and I can save some money. | ||

The guards pictured in the heated grips are NOT included. All that's in the grip kit is grips and a RH controls module with the grip switch. And some install tools. Guards won't fit on an R. Zack | ||

Guards won't fit on an R without modification to the front fairing. There ya go, Zack. I fixed it for you.  I've been thinking about ordering a set of hand guards and mounting them up, just to see how much trimming of the the front fairing would be required. The fairing is great as-is, but I am thinking that the hand guards would provide a little better wind protection when temperatures fall into the single digits. | ||

So do a decent pair of winter gauntlets. I'd hate to cut up that fairing. I've ridden for over a decade with heated grips and a pair of Olympia winter gauntlets and never once felt the need for hand guards. Get the ones with Thinsulate insulation and a Goretex laminate under the leather. By themselves, they're good to freezing temperatures. With the heated grips, well below that. | ||

Where can you get these? looks like the turns might be integrated too:  ns (Message edited by xtreme6669 on October 27, 2009) (Message edited by xtreme6669 on October 27, 2009) | ||

The OEM grip kit is a really high quality piece. It's made by Magura and the quality shows in the kit when you install it. I say it's worth it, since it's so well integrated into the bike. That mother gets HOT, too! I have them on my track bike  It's a laugh riot on track days at Tech when they see them, but then on those cold first sessions, I'm having a ball, and everyone else is looking for a warm place to stick their hands. | ||

I picked up Loretta almost 2 years ago right after a blizzard in December. I was looking into the Uly handguards also, for obvious reasons. I rode her 20 miles after they dropped her off, then rolled into the garage and installed the heated grip kit. After I realized the guards wouldn't fit, I also realized I could move the existing grips inboard almost an inch. So I drilled "winter" locating holes in the bars and moved them. Note - the left heated grip is held on the bar with 2 screws, not glue. The whole process of relocating the grips in for winter and out for summer takes about a half-hour now. The extra coverage by the fairing in the winter position makes a HUGE difference. Longest/coldest ride was 20 minutes at 14* F. | ||

My god,,,, 200 odd dollars and they don't even include the guards!!!! Wonder how much the guards costs? If the handlebars and electric grips are any indication, they will cost around 200$.  I think my CR is staying stock for no other reason than the only accessories I want cost way to much. | ||
| Judd |
Those guards on the red CR pictured are cool. | ||
| Zac4mac |
I believe mine cost me 187.00 I'd spend it again for the quality(high), ease of install(an hour) and mostly integration(new right side controls with switch). The guards are cheaper, my P&A catalog lists them at $84.25 a set, still lists the grips at $187.00. Zack | ||

The first reply to this thread was me posting that the OEM guards are $84. | ||

How hard is it to install the heated grips? Fairly straight forward? | ||
| Froggy |
Hardest part is drilling two holes in the left bar, but it comes with a drill guide to help. The included bit sucks, use your own. Rest of the install is straight forward. | ||

aNY ONE KNOW WHO MIGHT MAKE THE ONES IN THE PIC? | ||

I do...but I don't want to share because I want them first! ac | ||
| Froggy |
That officially makes you a dick Oh wait, I suddenly lost my part numbers for the CR bars. Oh shucks, I need to go and con another copy of them at the dealer | ||

AHAHAHA. They are the Acerbis Dual Road. LED lights could be used as signals. Although I think they are white. They are pricey. ac | ||
| Xtreme6669 |
Sweet got my set ordered up with the led signals, as stated: not cheep! Item Options Unit Price Qty. Cost Acerbis Dual Road Handguards Option : Handguards+LED(+$29.95) $155.91 1 $155.91 Subtotal: $155.91 Shipping: $9.96 Tax: $0.00 Total: $165.87 Now I just need to get the mirrors sorted! | ||
| Avc8130 |
I was hoping to come up with a way to mount bar ends with the hand guards. ac | ||
| Froggy |
When you get them, post up pics and details! | ||
| Xtreme6669 |
Will do. | ||
| Judd |
Think I would rather pay 155$ for the aftermarket guards with the integrated LEDS for turn signals than 85$ for the stockers. Then I could get rid of those mirror/turn signals and pop some bar end mirrors on it. Think I will do the Dual Stars and take my chances on trying to reuse the throttle tube. | ||
| Zac4mac |
So, Extreme, did you get these mounted and signals working? I have a new CR owner VERY interested in your results. Zack |
