Cycra hand guard mounting options

[thejackrabbit]

I'm dead set on cycra pro bend hand guards, unless something better is out there but as seeing how i can't use the triple clamp mounts IMO the sturdiest ones because of the inset hex key bolts. I wanted to hear your opinion/experiences with mounting these guards. should I just go with the conventional bar clamps? I have 1/8th bars. I know there are a few other options for mounting besides those two, but I've never used them to know if they work or not

your knowledge is greatly appreciated

I have fastway FIT system.

Im not understanding why you can't use tripleclamp mounts?

i can't use mounts like the ones in the picture

because my bike doesnt have 10-12mm bolts it has counter bored hey key bolts

these are the mounts that I would prefer to use

I use the Cycra CRM mounts. Works good, and provides easy routing of cables etc.

I'm using those as well. Makes for a tight fit on the fork adjustment clickers, you really can't make any adjustment with them on. I end up removing the bars to make any adjustment. Also had to do a bunch of trimming on the bar pad, even with that the velcro bit barely reaches around the pad/bar.

I don't see any better option than these though. It didn't seem like the triple clamp mounts would work to me either.

I am actually able to adjust the clickers on my KYBs, however I use a Scott sub mouted damper, hence the bar is raised compared to stock position.

I used pro bends with bike bonz mounts, they work great and I like how they integrate and act as the top bar clamp too. They make the hand guard un twistable as I had problems with others moving in hard get offs. If you want a set I have a pair since I moved to the twisted engineering bars, I can't use them with there system

These guy make killer bark busters and they also make some nice custom top bar clamps that the Cycra's can connect to.

I don't personally have these but have heard nothing but positive things about them.

You should check out BRP for their mounting solution. They have bar clamps that replace the OEM ones and have mounts on them. I use them and with threaded bar inserts they are tough. I have taken many saplings out with them.

Cycra Center Reach

They work great.

1+ on that, the center reach clamps have four bolts per clamp and because they are toward the center of the bar you get a full circumference grip to the bar.

And for the bar inserts - HIGHLY recommend these inserts.

You thread your bar end and then thread in these inserts with thread locker. These inserts combined with the center reach mounts mean you will have a very solid hand guard system.

I used to be absolutely dead set on Cycra Pro-Bends until I discovered Fastway FIT handguards. I think the Cycras *look* a little cooler, but the Fastways are just so easy to mount (and are actually made by Cycra according to a sticker on them). Version 3 fits the Gas Gas bar mounts perfectly.

I had the Cycra CRM mounts but they would turn when I crashed at times. I made some aluminum mounts copied from the BRP style top mounts. I also removed the crossbar from myRenthal bars and added anti-vibe inserts in the ends of the bars. This combination is pretty much bullet proof no twisting and much easier on the hands and wrists.

I'm running the BRP unit. They are very nice and have a place to mount your computer.

I went ahead and got the cycra CRM guards, ill see how well the stock center mounts hold up, if they don't ill be getting the brp mounts or that style of mount
