What I need is something to keep the wind off my hands for the early morning commute, especially in the spring and fall. The cheaper guards were very difficult to attach to the bike, especially on the brake side as the fluid reservoir got in the way. They also provided a lot less protection as they weren't tall enough.First of all, the Barkbusters are huge and provide lots of coverage as well as clearance past the brake and clutch levers. Install was extremely easy given that these use a single connection point in the bar ends rather than needing a second clamp to the handlebars. They are very solidly built with thick, quality plastic and a removable metal reinforcing bar that keeps everything rigid. The expansion bolts fit my 7/8" Renthal bars without trouble and a larger set for 1" bars was included in the package (the instructions said 'sold separately'). Renthals are slightly thicker than most handlebars which means the inside dimensions are a bit smaller. Having this fit without adjustment was a plus.Other thoughts: I really like the look of these on my naked bike (SV650) so they'll be good for summer riding too. Get them and you won't be disappointed. ### ⭐⭐ Bar-end mount would not tighten, single-point mounting. *by T***N on March 25, 2016* These Barkbusters only mount on the bar ends and do not attach at the second point near the middle of the handlebars. While the construction appears sturdy, I don't think they would protect your hands from anything more than small branches and wind/rain. Despite this I still tried to mount them on my '13 Honda CB500X with 7/8" bars, but even after removing the factory bar-ends and weights I could not get the Barkbuster bar-end to tighten sufficiently to hold the guard steady. Even when tightened completely and with the 7/8" bar hardware I was still able to wiggle the sleeve and guard all the way off the bar by hand. I returned this product and will replace them with the two-point mounting system. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ works great had a bit of a difficult time mounting due ... *by X***N on December 8, 2014* I use them on an 07 Ninja 250, works great had a bit of a difficult time mounting due to the style of handlebars the Ex250 has, but I managed to Work it out using what was included, in a slightly different way then intended.Works great, Some days I will not wear gloves because the hand guards block a good bit of wind, and I dont have to worry about rocks hitting my hands. It doesn't completely block the wind, especially a bit farther away from it by your wrists. So In cold weather Wear gloves! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/22802643-barkbusters-s5-bk-storm-black-handguard-with-single-sided-bar](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/22802643-barkbusters-s5-bk-storm-black-handguard-with-single-sided-bar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
