Troubleshooting
Hand guards interfere with levers or cables.
Adjust the position of the hand guard or check for any obstructions. Ensure the correct mounting hardware is used and properly seated. Some handlebar configurations may require slight modification or specific adapters.
Mounting hardware feels loose after installation.
Re-tighten all bolts securely, ensuring they are seated correctly within the handlebar clamps. If using OEM handlebars, verify compatibility with any internal handlebar weights or caps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Acerbis Endurance Hand Guards include a black X-Strong Universal mounting kit. Installation typically involves attaching the mounting hardware to the handlebars. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely but avoid overtightening, which could strip threads or damage components.
Compatibility: These hand guards are designed to fit 7/8", 1 1/8", and twin wall handlebars.
