Id like to add hand guards to my S1

currently its got firebolt triple/bars, with s1 controls. Is there a way to get the ULY style hand guards on, with bar end mirrors?

thanks

not sure with R triple/bars. Dont see why they wouldnt work. If you buy the kit it comes with everything to install.

how did you get the bar end mirrors on there?

I might be doing a firebolt front fairing conversion, if so i'll use the 'bolt mirrors instead of the bars so it could be non-issue

and then put them in the lathe and turned a slot for the mirror to attach.

Captains1, I don't have any mounting hardware. Frankly I've never seen a set of these mounted and don't even know what the hardware looks like.

I can post a pic of the hardware when I get home next week. The hardware replaces the bolts that bolt the levers to the perches

I put these on my Uly (and my KDX). They fit on my 2007 (with a some drama). Alex Prior has a newer Uly and was having a little more trouble.

At that price, even if you just use parts of it, it is a good deal.
