Hey guys...
I supose I never mentioned it but I'm a Psichologist (that's how you
say it??) so nothing close to mechanics till now.
I allready have my nelson rigg magnetic tank bag, my 550 saddle bags,
and yesterday evening arrive new pants (answer)new gloves (alpinestar
ps-2), and those tusk handguards everybody said are wonderfull, and
they really are..BUT..
I found late at night that the only way to place them was the one I
show in a photo album named tusk handguard...
I'm a little worry because even if everything was firmely fixed, I
dont know if was done rigth..
could anybody take few minutes and chek the photo album and give some
advice? or somebody who has put them in your own bike could give me
some tips??
Anyway... thos saturday I will ride to some fancy place in order to
take some pics and then send them to you in some kind of unshamefull
act of vanity and happiness (you could not understand how happy you
could be here when fedex knock your door and a big newenough box is
in front of you....)
regards and rides

PS: I'm not a good example of statistics, but here there are a lot of
KLR around..

Guillermo,
I use Moose barkbusters (handguards) which mount just a little bit
differently that the TUSK guards you have. But I think if I was going to
mount TUSK guards I'd do it like you have the outer end done. But on the
other end (the end at the middle of the handlebars) I would try to take
the part that clamps to the bars and rotate it 180 degrees so that it
would be below the cross bar and the extension would be on the outer side
instead of closer to the middle. I think from looking at the pictures
that would still work and might be a better/stronger mount. But please
remember I haven't ever used the TUSK guards so I'm just going from what
I can see in your pictures.
Keep at it and you will get it the way you want it. And keep the list
informed as to how you are doing.
Best,
Jeff Saline

Hi Judd,
Of that 71 members, one lives 352 miles West of
Minn/St.Paul...because for this prairie country, 352 miles is not
much more than the next, next door neighbor. Out here, there is one
particular KLR that is seen routinely, long after most bikes are
parked. If my flight job is cnx today, that KLR will be making
parish calls, right after the frost melts.
