FAQs

Are these handguards suitable for street bikes?

These handguards are specifically designed for off-road (enduro, motocross, trail) use due to their robust construction and mounting style. While they might physically fit some street bikes, their design is optimized for dirt bike handlebars and riding conditions.

What is included in the fitting kit?

The fitting kit typically includes all necessary hardware for mounting the handguards to most standard handlebars, including bolts, brackets, and any required adapters. Specific contents may vary slightly.

How do I clean the black anodised finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or power washers, as these can damage the anodised coating.

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

Yes, the high-impact plastic outer guards are replaceable. You can typically order replacement parts from Apico or authorized dealers.

Will these handguards fit handlebars with a larger diameter?

These guards are designed for standard handlebar diameters. If you have oversized handlebars (e.g., 1 1/8" or 28mm), ensure the fitting kit is compatible or consider specific adapters if available.

Do the cooling vents reduce protection?

The vents are strategically placed to allow airflow without compromising the primary protective structure of the handguard. They offer a balance between ventilation and protection.

What is the warranty on these handguards?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please refer to your purchase receipt or the retailer's website for details on the warranty period and coverage.

Troubleshooting

Handguards interfere with lever operation

Adjust the position of the handguards or control perches. Ensure the mounting points are utilized correctly according to the instructions. Re-positioning may be necessary for certain handlebar setups.

Difficulty in achieving a secure fit

Double-check that you are using the correct mounting hardware for your handlebar type. Ensure the handlebar is clean and free of obstructions at the mounting points. Try different combinations of the X2 mounting points.

Plastic guard cracked after impact

The plastic guards are designed as sacrificial parts to protect the aluminium frame and rider's hands. Contact Apico or your retailer for replacement guard options.

Anodised finish fading or peeling

This is uncommon with proper care. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or UV rays. Clean gently with mild soap and water. If peeling occurs, it may indicate a manufacturing defect, contact your retailer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation involves attaching the handguards to the handlebars using the provided fitting kit. The dual mounting points (X2 standard and X2 optional) allow for secure attachment. It is crucial to ensure the guards do not interfere with throttle operation or brake/clutch levers. Refer to the fitting kit instructions for specific guidance.

Compatibility: These handguards are designed for universal fitment, utilizing multiple mounting points. However, it is recommended to measure your handlebar diameter and available mounting space to confirm compatibility with your specific motorcycle model before purchase. Some control perch setups may require adjustment or alternative mounting solutions.

Care: To maintain the appearance and function, clean the handguards regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the anodised finish or plastic. Periodically check that all mounting bolts are secure.
