FAQs
Will these fit on oversized 1 1/8 inch handlebars?
No, these are specifically designed for 22mm (7/8 inch) handlebars and will not fit oversized bars without appropriate aftermarket adapters.
Are these full wrap-around guards?
No, the X-Future models are open handguards designed for debris deflection and airflow rather than heavy-duty impact bar protection.
Does the red color fade over time?
Acerbis uses high-quality pigmented plastics that are resistant to UV fading, though long-term sun exposure can eventually affect the vibrancy of any colored plastic.
Can I install these on an adventure bike?
If your adventure bike utilizes standard 22mm handlebars, they will fit, but keep in mind they are optimized for motocross/enduro, not long-distance touring.
What is included in the box?
The box includes the two handguard shells and the necessary universal mounting hardware for 22mm handlebars.
Troubleshooting
Handguard shifts during riding
Ensure all mounting bolts are tightened to the recommended torque and verify that the guard is not interfering with brake lines.
Guard touches brake or clutch levers
Adjust the horizontal positioning using the two-position adjustment slots to create sufficient clearance for lever travel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these handguards, ensure your motorcycle uses a standard 22mm (7/8 inch) handlebar. Start by loosely attaching the mounting hardware to the handlebars before securing the guard shells. Use the two-position adjustment slots to align the guards with your brake and clutch levers, then tighten all bolts securely to prevent movement during vibration. For maintenance, clean the handguards with a mild detergent and water after dusty or muddy rides to prevent grime buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, which may degrade the plastic over time. Periodically check all mounting bolts for tightness, as trail vibrations can occasionally loosen hardware.
