really lookin to get some powermadd handguards but i got to lookin on my bars and i don't really see a place i can mount them. First because all the normal stuff like brake, clutch, throttle, oury grips.. Then i have the gytr kill switch. i've had hand guards on previous quads, this one just looks to be a pain..
i still have the stock fat bar and i can't put the kill switch down by the clamps because its only a 7/8 fit. if anyone has a picture of how they got there handguards set up, can you post a pic for me?
Thanks, John

You got to move some stuff around. On the right hand side there is a little aluminum tab on the stock fat bars that I had to knock off so my brake clamp would seat properly. It took me a while to get everything situated and comfortable.

I've got flex bars on one bike and tapers on the other both big bars with risers, I wanted to mount them in the center so I took the bottom clamp piece off and just put a little bit
Of colored duct tape down so the bars werent scratched, then just put the top main tether
Piece on and used two water clamps(I think Thts Wht they are called) they are just the metal clamps tht u tighten with a screw driver

Thanks guys! and glad to see that i can still put my kill switch on the end of the bars and not make something for it to go near the bar pad.

i mounted mine with the brake clamps, too half of the clamp off and bolted it on with that. Kinda hard to explain, ill post pics if you would like.

John79Lewis · 01-15-2012, 10:36 PM

yeah man. post some pictures. i just don't wanna spend the money and then if they don't fit, have to send them back for a different mount or even just not be able to use them until i get a different bar

Id like to see a pic of that too. Would like to switch my bars to Flex bars but there is more room on factory bars.
