Product Information
Full details
The Acerbis Handlebar Expansion Spacers are an essential upgrade for motorcycle riders looking to securely install hand guards on handlebars with an internal diameter of 13.5-14.5 mm. These precision-engineered components are designed for those using Acerbis Tri Fit and X-Open models, providing superior mounting stability and long-term durability. While they are highly effective for their specific application, users must verify their handlebar's internal diameter before purchase to ensure compatibility, as they will not fit standard or non-compliant handlebar sizes.

FAQs
Will these fit any hand guard brand?
These spacers are designed specifically for Acerbis Tri Fit and X-Open models.
How do I measure my handlebar diameter?
Use a digital vernier caliper to measure the inside diameter at the very end of the bar.
Can I reuse these spacers if I take off my hand guards?
Yes, provided the expansion threads are not stripped or damaged.
Do I need special tools for installation?
A standard Allen wrench or hex key appropriate for your hand guard bolt is all that is required.
Are these suitable for road bikes?
Yes, if your road bike handlebar meets the 13.5-14.5 mm internal diameter specification.
Troubleshooting
Hand guard feels loose after tightening
Verify that your handlebar's internal diameter is not exceeding 14.5 mm. If it is too wide, the spacer cannot achieve a full grip.
Spacer will not slide into the handlebar
Ensure there is no burr or jagged metal inside the handlebar end. File the inside edges slightly if necessary.
Bolt is difficult to turn
Remove the spacer, apply a small amount of grease to the threads, and try re-inserting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first ensure your handlebar is clear of any internal debris or existing bar-end weight remnants. Verify that your handlebar's internal diameter is between 13.5 mm and 14.5 mm. Slide the expansion spacer into the bar-end and slowly tighten the mounting bolt. As the bolt turns, the spacer will expand, pressing firmly against the interior walls of the handlebar to create a secure lock. For care, periodically check the bolt torque after long-distance rides to ensure no loosening has occurred due to thermal expansion or heavy vibrations. Always use a light coat of anti-seize on the bolts if you live in a high-moisture or salt-heavy environment to prevent galvanic corrosion.
