Thoughts on the Memphis Shades Hand guards?
#13
I ordered a set on Black Friday for my FBS and think the quality and look of the gaurd itself are excellent. However, the brackets supplied would bring my review from a 5 down to a 1. The brackets themselves are very nice aluminum and have a durable coating. The bad is the design of how they fit. My FBS has the turn signals on the bars so I had to get the ones with cut outs for the lights. The way they attach is with two different angle brackets which are a short and a long one. The bracket mounts between the stem base with a locking washer which once tightened is supposed to keep the gaurd in place. I think one side would constantly come loose if I were to use the supplied brackets. The cutouts do not line up which has kept me from installing them. I did verify fittment through multiple sellers, so I know that is not the issue. I am going to keep them and make my own mounts using a clamping bracket to the mirror stem which will keep me from having to remove the blinker and mirror everytime I want to add or take them off. The quality of the gaurd is excellent and I am hoping the protection will help with keeping the wind off of my hands below 35 degrees. Even with heated gloves my fingers get numb.
