Product Information

Full details

The Barkbusters JET Handguard Kit is an essential upgrade for dual-sport, enduro, and trail bike riders looking to protect their hands and control levers from trail hazards and impacts. These guards offer robust structural integrity through a heat-treated aluminium backbone and a secure two-point mounting system; however, they are specifically engineered for tapered handlebars and are not compatible with Renthal Twin Wall or Barkbusters VSBar configurations.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will these fit my Renthal Twin Wall handlebars?

No, the Barkbusters JET kit for tapered bars is not compatible with Renthal Twin Wall bars.

Do I need to modify my handlebars to install these?

No, these are designed for a direct-fit installation on tapered handlebars without any modifications.

Can I replace just the plastic guards if they get damaged?

Yes, Barkbusters offers replacement plastic guards that attach to the existing aluminium backbone.

Are these suitable for road bikes?

While designed for enduro and trail, they are suitable for dual-sport bikes used on the road, providing excellent wind protection for hands.

What does the two-point mounting system mean?

It means the guard is anchored at two separate points—the end of the handlebar and the inner bar area—for maximum stability.

Troubleshooting

Handguard feels loose or rotates on the handlebar

Verify that the bar-end inserts are properly tightened and expanded within the handlebar tube and check that the inner mounting bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.

Plastic guard rubbing against lever

Adjust the angle of the aluminium backbone or the mounting clamp position to ensure maximum clearance for the lever travel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-strength aluminium construction for maximum protection
  • Easy, no-modification installation process
  • Full-wrap design protects levers effectively in falls
  • Aerodynamic profile fits well with long-lever configurations
  • Durable materials built for harsh trail conditions

Cons

  • Incompatible with Renthal Twin Wall handlebars
  • Cannot be used with Barkbusters VSBar configurations
  • Limited to tapered handlebar setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the JET Handguard Kit is straightforward. The two-point mounting system attaches to the bar-ends and the inner handlebar area near the risers. Ensure you are using the correct hardware provided in the kit to seat the aluminium backbone securely into your tapered handlebar ends. To maintain the guards, periodically check the mounting bolts for tightness, as trail vibrations can loosen them over time. The JET plastic shields can be cleaned with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemical degreasers that may discolor or weaken the plastic over extended periods. Before purchasing, verify your handlebar type, as these are strictly for standard tapered handlebars and will not fit Renthal Twin Wall or VSBar setups.
