Chicdesign Hand Guards and Stuff

[4myredhonda_imp]

Boy those handguards look handy. Is it just the mirrors that hold them on?

Yes, the mirrors are all that's holding them on. It is a pretty slick design. If you go to Samurider's website and click on the ChicDesign link a the bottom of the description for the handguards, it shows the mounting. Appears to be pretty darn sturdy.

I like the hand guards. Not so much for winter rides but for spring time in Georgia when large, hard-shelled beetles take to the air. They'll leave bruises on you. I had hand guards on my Triumph Tiger and they made a huge difference in cold weather. I'm getting a set for the CB.
When removing the mirrors to place the hand guards, is the left side mirror stem reverse threaded?

Yeah, the mirror thread is left hand. I really like the look and they should work well. Have not tried them out yet.

To add to Ferret's question, have you tried the handguards yet? How good do they work?

No, popgun, I have not tried them out yet. Too darn cold to ride. Looking forward to a ride, if it warms up some this weekend.

A nice set of mods! The fairing and sports seat/trunk will be a huge addition. I also have the hand guards (in clear). They can extend a cold weather ride by a good 30 minutes to an hour.

Thanks, CB4ME, I hadn't done an single thing to the CB for two years since I first got it. Finding this forum and finding out about all of the mods people have been doing really inspired me to make it into a café bike. Have a good one!
