Tusk Aluminum Handguards

Held up great and protected the controls during a spill on a ride yesterday. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is I am unsure if I would be able to fit these with the stock clutch lever (I have shorty levers). Some reviews say they fit fine, others say different. These are a more affordable alternative to some of the other guards I looked at.

Looking at other products and found the to be quite spendy compared to the Tusks. Was hesitant because the price was so reasonable. Took a chance and bought them for one bike (daughter's110) and had a little trouble installing the end caps and stripped the bolt heads trying to tighten them(Rocky Mountain replaced for no charge) once installed liked em and bought them for all my bikes .a small different angle may have to be made to the inside section of the frames is needed for a good fit. Would recommend having a vice handy to make the additional adjustment. Good price

I have used these on every bike i have owned. I crashed a dual sport on the highway (due to a bad front tire) at 55mph and i got zero hand damage nor broke any levers.

Very robust construction and easy to install. Looks great and offers good protection. If you are looking for hand/lever protection this will fit the bill.

After breaking a brake.... decided to buy these. easy to install and kept my brake levers safe on my next ride.

I bought these to put on my girlfriend's YZ250FX. Before, I had put a set on my WR250R. They work great at deflecting wind and roost, and in the event of a tip over, they do an excellent job of saving levers. I wouldn't recommend them for A/B woods riders, as they are more likely to need replacement after a hard/fast hit.

Installation is probably one of the easiest I've had for any wrap around handguards. I also like that the shield is cheap and easy to replace if needed.

Great value and great protection

-m-2001 SUZUKI RM250--

Very strong and fit very well. Paired with the tusk guards they are awesome. Almost the same price as the China knockoffs but a lot higher quality. Don't wait just buy them

Used without the flags on the Kawasaki. Good fit. Hit a few trees and they held up great.

I've used Acerbis and other handguards but I wanted something more cost effective for my XR100 mini motard. These are the answer! Sturdy, easy to install and bullet-proof. Good job Tusk!

-m-2003 HONDA XR100R--

Have these on several of my Honda xrs, love em. Great fit super tough and easy to install.

-m-1996 HONDA XR600R--

Bought these for my XR400 and they fit great, thought I needed the big bar adapter but I did not. Less worried about dumping my bike now. Install was easy and I'm a noob rider. Make sure to have them tighten down, mine shifted after I dropped my bike on a ride.

-m-1996 HONDA XR400R--

was an easy install and great protection

-m-1999 HONDA XR400R--

Fit great easy to install. Works fine

Very nice, quality, heavy duty product. These are universal, so required some innovation to mount on stock KLR bars. Actually the right side mounted right up, the left side required me to drill a new hole at the inboard side because the handlebars had a permanently mounted wire harness guide that would not allow the pivoting guard thing to fit properly. Took my time marked it, drilled it, walla, no problem. Upside, I was able to mount the handlebar end weights using the screw from the guard kit and I was also able to mount the stock wind guards, with some minor trimming, to the Tusk guards, using the tapped screw holes in the Tusk guard. Awesome!

The Tusk wrap around hand guards have been great so far. They were easy to install, look good, and function great. The price was also a great selling point. Let's see how they hold up in the long run.

Great product! Even without the plastic shrouds they offer great protection.

-m-2007 HONDA CRF450R--

I bought these as a cheap solution to protect my levers and bars, being as I am a new rider. I needed the big bar adapter, but refrained from buying them for a little while. I dropped the KLR650 several times from a stand-still straight onto the end of the handlebars and there was no damage to the guards or my levers.

I lowsided around a corner at about 25 mph, because I did not have them completely attached yet, they did move and my brake lever broke. The aluminum held up great being scraped over the road for a good 20 feet.

I finally got the adapter mount. Installation was very difficult, because the aluminum is very hard to bend without the proper tools or strength. I was beating on them with a mallet and they barely budged. I did have to cut the levers to fit.

The fact they do not bend easily greatly helped out during the highside crash I had. About 30 mph, violent enough to shear the handlebar mount off of the bolt and left a huge dent in my tank. The TUSK handguard bent slightly, but completely protected my lever from braking. Which means I could ride it home 50 miles and not have to get towed. The guard needs some adjusting, but it still has a lot of life.

Fantastic investment for the budget rider who is prone to dumping. Absolutely will buy again once these have run their course.

Only negative I have is the allen bolt on the end of the handlebars are very prone to stripping and being damaged in crashes. Which can make the guards next to impossible to tighten or remove.

Fits great in stock bars.

-m-2008 HONDA CRF150F--

Great product, very good quality, easy install. Thanks RMATV
Looks great

-m-2009 YAMAHA WR250R--

Very good quality for the price

-m-2010 HARLEY-DAVIDSON® CVO Dyna Fat Bob FXDFSE®--

Great addition to my bike. Saves the grips and levers from getting torn up and broken, they have taken some big hits and survived.

-m-2012 YAMAHA YZ250F--

Bought these for my sons klx140L he's still learning to ride so they have hit the ground twice so far and held up perfectly They were very adjustable and fit the smaller bars without any issues.

-m-2012 KAWASAKI KLX140L--

These look great! easy to install, only complaint is that the clamps dont really fit an aftermarket fat bar. Maybe they make an option for that? I just made them work.

-m-1992 SUZUKI RM250--

Fits perfect, good quality, can't beat the price

-m-2016 YAMAHA WR450F--

Easy install had both installed within minutes.

-m-2008 HONDA CRF450R--

These handguard protectors work very well. All handguards can be tricky to install. These actually went on easily

took a little elbow grease to get on the bike . I bought these after replacing my clutch lever three times. Price was good

-m-1984 KAWASAKI KL600--

These guards are great value. The swivel on the bar mount makes mounting easy and allows alignment of brake lines and clutch cable.

Very durable took a few spills and saved my levers well worth it

-m-2013 KAWASAKI KLR650--

Installed these on my KLR650 with relative ease. Just make SURE that you can turn your handle bars completely. I took a spill in some mud and the handlebars broke the windshield completely off....

These things work great though.

-m-2008 KAWASAKI KLR650--

Easy to install and good hand protection looks way better

Have these on 3 bikes, a 2017 KX 65, 2015 KX 85 and 2017 YZ250 FX. All fit great and look great. The kids bikes were no problem to fit, only on the 65 I did put a small spacer between the number plate and the top triple clamp to space the plate out from the gaurd mounts a bit but no big deal. They have held up great and stay tight even in hard crashes which save the levers on the kids bikes a lot. I used big bar adapters on the 250 FX and they went on flawlessly also and made no problems with lever fitment like I've had with other brands in the past.

-m-DIRT BIKE--

I had these on one of my bikes and absolutely loved them so when it came time for a switch on my other bike it was a no brainer. Great protection at a competitive price.

-m-1997 KTM 300 EXC--

Ill start by saying that these work awesome on a 7/8" bar as the mounting solution is awesome as they have an integrated swivel on the inside mount.

Now on a 1 1/8" bar these are a complete nightmare. The additional mount that needs to be purchased is rigid with no adjustability so you are required to bend the guards into shape to allow fitment. This then causes you to bend an extremely thick material several times to get it "close". Even after messing with these for a better part of an hour I still couldnt get them positioned where I wanted and had to actually move my controls to better suite the poor fitment of these guards on a 1 1/8" bar.

Overall:
- 7/8" bar: good product with good fit.
- 1 1/8" bar: avoid and buy a better product

Ordered for my first harescramble on my yz125. Saved my hands on multiple occasions and still straight as the day I got them. Great product and great price. Highly recommend for max bikes with no hand protection.

-m-YAMAHA YZ125--

Good guards for the money, but not an easy install, and it doesn't fit evenly on my bike because of the brake reservoir on the right side, and the hot start (I think) on the left side. You really need a vice to be able to make the appropriate bends in the aluminum to make it fit, and I don't have a vice, so I never got a perfect fit. But it costs a lot less than most other guards, so I can't complain too much. Over all its been a good purchase, it has saved me quite a few levers.

Not the coolest looking product but works as it should.

I needed handguards for a TT-R 125 play bike and did not feel like dropping $$$ for a set. I was quite surprised at the quality and fit, very well done.

-m-2003 YAMAHA TTR125LE--

I love these hand guards. They have saved my hands countless times from trees. I have bought them for two of my bikes. I love that it's only the bar instead of a big bulky plastic guard. the only complaint I have is I wish they had them in black too.

Tried to fit other handguards on my CRF230L to no avail. Had to return them. Tusk Off-Road guards fit perfectly without cutting the new Tusk brake and clutch levers. I would recommend Tusk to other dirt bikers. You won't be sorry!

-m-2008 HONDA CRF230L--

I love them I would have broke so many levers without them I have a set on both of my bikes.

-m-1999 KAWASAKI KX250--

They work great !!! No more broken broken levers or smashed knuckles in the woods

Tusk Aluminum Handguards, great price, they fit and they work like the expensive brand, so if your not a brand name guy buy, them and save some cash.

-m-2010 YAMAHA YZ450F--

Good quality handguards that are easy to install!!

-m-2001 YAMAHA YZ250--

I was very happy with the quality of this item at this price point it's a great value. I have already bounced them off a few trees and dropped my bike too without any noticeable damage to them. They look great and are priced way better than similar products. Good buy

-m-2010 YAMAHA YZ250F--

These hand guards work. Ive bashed the crap out of these and hardly a scratch. Works just as good as the more expensive ones.

i would buy these again in a second! they have more than doubly paid for themselves in levers and wrecks from branches grabbing levers

Fit well on 2008 crf230 and red matched well. Haven't crashed them yet but should save Jr's levers.

-m-2008 HONDA CRF230F--

Awesome hand guards at a fraction of what others cost and you get the same durability! I love these things!
