Hi All
It won’t be long before old man winter is here. Last year I bought a pair of Hippo Hands.
Hippo Hands
They really work great for keeping the hands warm but they are dangerous at highway speeds. They will blow back onto the levers and once it flipped my kill switch. I haven’t used them since. You definitely need the hand guards or brush guards they recommend to use.
Will these work on a FZ1? Scroll down to the middle of the page where you see the package of hand guards (directly to the right of the "tools" menu on the left). Will I need the bar end kit which is further down the page?
Enduro Engineering Traditional Clamp Handguards - 7/8 inch bars
Never having installed one of these I’m wondering if the dimensions will clear the front brake reservoir on the right, and the switches/ turn signal on the left. Will I need the bar end kit?
Thanks
