Yes, the bar end bit is a faff and isn't going to help when i drop it. I'm more concerned about protecting levers than having hand guards. I'm sure the throttle end of the bars has been bodged as has the throttle twist tube. I'll have a go at inventing my own work around. If it doesn't work it won't have been expensive. I'm sure I can find the alloy or even stainless straps at work. In fact as I'm typing this I'm thinking why don't I take a strap from the yoke all the way to the bar end? That would be stronger and probably look better! And I could bend the shape and drill the ends. Well that's another plan. Cheers Dave peace and love brother. ✌️ ❤️ 🤗
@DukeDyson2 ай бұрын
I managed to find some genuine Honda hand guards for mine, they were really difficult to track down. Even they were a fiddle to fit, requiring trimming the clutch lever's gaiter and as they don't attach to the bar end they look good and are ok going through a bit of brush but I'm not sure they'd protect a lever during the inevitable tumble 🙃 Conversely a friend of mine has Bark Busters on his which are quite robust but I don't like the look of them myself, I think they look far too bulky! (I've not told him that). Love the overall look 🙂

@@springy-2112 I think the newer bit (the straight bit) was built to improve land drainage, the wiggly bit is the original river. I say newer, but if I remember right it was done in the 1700s! It splits in two at Brigg as well, part of Brigg is a sort of island.

They certainly are a great fun little bike buddy and mine is still virtually stock. I fitted a pair of actual Honda handguards, which were quite hard to come by; they shouldn't be as I think they're fitted as standard on the 300, and a rack. Apart from that the only change I've made is to remove the saddle's strap. Cheap and versatile, it's far more agile than I am which may explain why I've fallen off it a few times 😄 It's fine just as it is 🙂 Big love to you brother

I've been looking for honda handguards. I didn't think of the 300 stock ones. Great info buddy. I've ordered a bunch of service stuff. It's overdue on years not miles. And I want to start all fresh with it. Got a standard 14 tooth front sprocket coming. It's got the 13 tooth mod on it. Fine for most lemmings but not for me. I think people just automatically do these " performance " mods without even thinking. Or just to be like every other owner who can't think for themselves. Any way I'm really getting into the nitty gritty of it now . Surprising how much abuse / neglect you can find on a 1300 mile bike! Nothing bad just surprising. I can tell it's definately spent most if its life off road, it has the scars to prove it. Which is fine that's what it's for. Cheers Dave, hope you are doing well brother. Peace and love 👍✌️❤️
