[QUOTE="PowerJoe, post: 669256, member: 40592"] I work for a company called PowerMadd and I am working on an attachment to our new hand guard which will conect the end of the guard to the end of the handlebar. One of the things I noticed about all of the full aluminum type guards on the market, like Hand Savers and Pro Bend, is that the mount that gets inserted into the end of the handlebar can easily be loosened and the whole guard will rotate during a crash. Stopping this action mostly depends on the strength of the mount in by the tripple clamp. If I had a design that greatly resisted this rotational movement, wouldn't that be better? Or does this cause other problems? One thing I did notice with the Hand Savers is they angle in quite a bit so they won't increase the width of the handle bars, but then the ends of the levers need to be cut off. The Pro Bends don't angle in at all and actually increase the width of your handlebar setup by almost 2 inches. What if you had a design that was in between these two? Where it increase the width less than an inch and you didn't have to cut the end off the levers? Doesn't that make sense? Am I missing something here? The one difficulty I have is designing an insert type mount that fits all of the aluminum handle bars out there, since they all seem to have different inside diameters. I think I have a design to solve this problem and limit the amount of rotation in a crash, but I am trying to gather the dimensions on the inside diameters of all the different handle bars out there. Which brand of bars has the smallest ID? Which brand of bars has the largest ID? Thanks for putting up with the lenghty post. I greatly appreciate any input. :thumb: [/QUOTE]
