FAQs
Are these bars compatible with other brands of handguards?
These bars are specifically engineered as replacements for the Acerbis X-Factor series and may not fit other brands.
Does this package include the plastic shields?
No, this is a replacement bar set. It does not include the plastic handguard covers or the mounting hardware kits.
What tools do I need for installation?
Generally, you will only need a set of metric hex keys to remove and secure the mounting bolts.
Can these be painted?
While the surface can be painted, the factory finish is designed for durability; modifying the surface may void the product's integrity.
Will these fit 7/8 inch or 1 1/8 inch handlebars?
The X-Factor system is designed to work with standard mounting kits, but compatibility depends on your existing handlebar mounting hardware.
Troubleshooting
Bar does not sit flush with mounting bracket
Verify that all mounting hardware is tightened evenly and check that the bar ends are fully seated in the handlebar inserts.
Vibration during high-speed riding
Check all bolts for proper torque and ensure there is no metal-on-metal contact causing resonance; re-adjust the position if necessary.
Difficulty aligning with handguard plastics
Ensure you are using the specific Acerbis X-Factor plastic covers; other models may not share the same mounting hole geometry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic hand tools typically found in a standard motorcycle toolkit, such as Allen keys or hex wrenches. Ensure your bike is on a stable stand before beginning. Remove your existing handguard shells, unscrew the damaged bars from the bar-end inserts and the central mounting bracket, and replace them with the new units. Tighten all hardware to the manufacturer's specified torque settings to prevent vibration during operation. For care, wipe down with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to maintain the finish. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the black coating over time.
