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.

No, the Barkbusters JET kit for tapered bars is not compatible with Renthal Twin Wall bars.
No, these are designed for a direct-fit installation on tapered handlebars without any modifications.
Yes, Barkbusters offers replacement plastic guards that attach to the existing aluminium backbone.
While designed for enduro and trail, they are suitable for dual-sport bikes used on the road, providing excellent wind protection for hands.
It means the guard is anchored at two separate points—the end of the handlebar and the inner bar area—for maximum stability.
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.
Adjust the angle of the aluminium backbone or the mounting clamp position to ensure maximum clearance for the lever travel.
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.
