Troubleshooting
Hand guards won't fit handlebar.
Ensure your handlebars are 22 mm in diameter. If they are larger or smaller, you may need a different mounting kit. Check for any obstructions on the handlebar.
Levers are obstructed by hand guards.
Adjust the positioning of the hand guards using the universal mounting kit. The upper connection allows for independent adjustment of the guard's angle relative to the levers.
Plastic appears to be fading.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Consider using a UV protectant spray suitable for plastics or store the motorcycle indoors when not in use.
Mounting hardware is loose.
Periodically check and tighten all mounting bolts and clamps. Ensure the clamps are correctly seated on the handlebar.
