Thats what I use, I like them a lot. A tip though: use brass M8 bolts to attach the handguards. They have been known to bend/break in a good get off with steel bolts. Brass is strong enough for average falls and impacts, and will give before the mount in a big one. I've personally proven this works, and carry a couple bolts in my too pack.
I also bought the Cycra Center Reach guards (CRM). Both the bar brackets have stress cracks in them, so I called Cycra. They have had many complaints about these mounts, so they have stepped up and are making a beefier bar mount bracket. If anyone has had this problem, give them a call and they will send U the new ones.

Will the cycra solution mount fit if the stock computer is still there?
I may need to space the computer mount out
Just wondering if anyone has tried this

Well I found that the solution mount will not work, heres why
The cross brace mounts line up with the bend in the bars, and would hit the fork cap, so you would have to make the cross brace holes bigger and raise the bars to get it too fit and even then the clamps are on a bend so bad clamping.
The stock bars (hebo?) have a strange taper on them in that it tapers very gradually then alot at the top bend, meaning the regular cycra clamps for taper bars were a no go as the bars were too fat. But the good thing with buying the solution mount pack is that it comes with 1 1/8th clamps which meant I could mount the guards in the regular fashion with the 1 1/8th clamps. They fit well, are on the piss slightly but clamp on the bar all the way around with no obvious gaps.
Heres what the result is
So if you want to use the solution mount you will need to live with clamps not fitting properly on the bars for the cross brace and raising the bars, or use the 1 1/8th clamps that come with the set and orientate the guards in the regular fashion. Hope this helps some people in the future

That's what I use. Really cleans up the look. Very strong too. I've had my share of spills...
I'll snap a picture tonite after work.

They WILL break in a really good crash or a moderate hit on a rock.
That said I really like them, so much so that I made a custom Scotts damper mount plate to work with them. It ties everything together and also mounts my ICO. It would be great if someone came out with a one piece setup just like that. Similar to the Fastway part but for standard handguards not the FIT system. Less holes/more material and a bit stronger.
