BARKBUSTERS BBZ-001 Blizzard Semi Rigid Universal Handguards

Easy to fit, makes a real difference to your hands if you’re an all yearer.Good gloves, heated grips and these, sorted.

These are great if you suffer from cold hands. I don't feel the cold in general, but my hands suffer, even with good Rukka winter gloves and heated grips, and especially at speed in the cold. But muffs can be a problem too. These are a good compromise: they keep a lot of the wind off your hands, which makes a big difference to wind chill.If you've got hollow bars these are a doddle to fit: 10 mins and you're done.One thing to bear in mind. They are semi rigid, and if you were to exceed the UK legal speed limit, I would expect them to give slightly on the inside edge and press on your index fingers. Not hard, not dangerous, but if you're not expecting it a little disconcerting.

Outstanding product when fitted onThey don’t come over the wrist but if you fit them correctly they are really goodOne tip if you have top mounted mirrors on arms about and inch in burn a little hole so that the mirror claps down on the cover and can’t be removed easily

This product was fitted to a Honda VTR 800x 2018. It was fitted easily( needed a hole punching for the mirror stalks) and it protects the hands in cold condtions. Not cheap but well made and effective.

No problem at all

Needed a bit of adapting to fit, due to wide screen, but once fitted they're well worth the money. No movement of covers when riding and with heated grips on, even the back of hands and tips of fingers are warm.

I bought these after recommendation to get Barkbusters but wanted something for Winter use. They are semi rigid and come with quite a comprehensive fitting kit comprising of various length screws, spacers, collets and 2 tiny nuts (could do with a couple of spares in the bag). The instructions give you a rough idea of how to fit but it would have been good to maybe go online to see bike specific arrangement of which components to use but trial and error and 15 minutes later they were fitted though I don’t want to over tighten the screws as the nuts seem a bit weak. They made a huge difference in keeping my finger tips warm though the breeze still seems to come round my thumb. I guess they could do with extending the length of the them by 30 to 50mm to cover your wrist a bit more so you feel like you put your hand in them better as they are meant to be for blizzard conditions according to the packaging. They dont interfere with the controls. I didn’t want floppy handle bar muffs so hope these will give the dexterity needed. So far so good. Now I just need to find out if they fill up with water if parked up in the rain!

Build quality is good was expected from Barkbuster, however the design seems lacking.These cover the controls and grips well, helping to keep the hands warm in combination with heated grips. The way they attach on the inside of the bars means they are strapped over the brake fluid reservoir on my nc700x, which is in a pretty standard location, as well as up against the mirror stems. This causes the guards to angle down fairly steeply with no option to adjust that angle. The main issue here is that they completely fill with water if left standing in the rain.
