FAQs

Are Oxford Lever Guards mandatory for all types of riding?

Lever Guards are mandatory for track use and track days. While not universally mandatory for all road riding, they are highly recommended for added safety, especially when filtering through traffic.

What material are the Lever Guards made from?

They are constructed from a reinforced 'Delrin' acetal 100ST composite, known for its strength and durability.

Will these fit my motorcycle?

The Oxford Lever Guards are designed for universal fitment on 22mm (7/8 inch) handlebars that have an internal diameter suitable for the 12-18mm expansion bolts.

How do I install them?

Installation involves inserting the guard and its expansion bolts into the handlebar end and then tightening the bolts to secure the guard.

Can these protect against accidental throttle application?

These guards are specifically designed to protect the brake and clutch levers from accidental engagement or impact. They do not directly protect the throttle.

What is the main purpose of Lever Guards?

Their primary purpose is to prevent accidental engagement of the front brake lever, which is crucial in close racing and beneficial for protecting levers from impacts during road riding.

Troubleshooting

Lever Guard is loose after installation

Ensure the expansion bolts are tightened sufficiently to grip the inside of the handlebar. Check that the handlebar internal diameter is within the 12-18mm range specified for the expansion bolts.

Lever Guard interferes with throttle or clutch operation

Adjust the position or angle of the Lever Guard. In some cases, specific handlebar configurations may not be compatible without modification.

Difficulty inserting expansion bolts

Ensure the bolts are aligned correctly with the internal mechanism and the handlebar opening. Clean any debris from the handlebar end.
