Hand guard issues

[jhendr3702]

Hey guys... I am having a small problem with hand guards. My 300 had the factory hebo's on it when I got it. About the third time I rode it, I left it on the kickstand alone and it fell over and smoked the hebo's. I replaced them with a set of cycra pro bend's. In the last few rides I have been on I have crashed pretty hard on each side and actually bent the metal bar on the hand guard. the throttle side was not too bad, but the last time was on the clutch side and actually bent the bar enough that the clutch lever would not clear the hand guard.... it would have taken out the m/cylinder for sure.
The main problem is the bike is soo good and inspires such confidence that I feel like there is no obstacle the 300 will not conquer !!!! So I am off for my third set of hand guards this year and really enjoying my gas gas....
ps the wife is giving me the "eye" every time a m/c type package is showing up at my house.... I am gonna have to try to talk the gofasters guys into shipping my parts in a plain brown unmarked box.....

Bend the hand duards back. You shouldn't need new ones...yet.

I also cut my clutch lever down to a shorty, and I like it much better and it will not hit the guard.
