Forum NEWB here so be nice! I just bought a set of Tusk aluminum handguards with the plastic add-ons. They look great. But I am having extreme trouble getting them mounted. The bike is a 1991 KDX250 with Renthal bars. The previous owner shaved the bars for tight woods riding, but by how much I don't know.
I can't get the aluminum guards to fit properly. When I have them mounted on the end of the bars, I can't get them to mate up to the mounts on the inside portion of the bars. If I get it close then the assembly for the master cylinder prevents the guards from getting close enough to the mounts. Even when I use a spacer on the bar ends to compensate for the shaved bars I still can not get them to mount cleanly with the inner bar mounts.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am open to trying another brand if they are known to mount up better. BTW, I'd like to retain standard size levers. Thanks guys!
