Thanks for the info, I looked at the 1000 Vstrom handguards on the bike and at the 650 kit out of the box and their didn't apperar to be that much difference... So I will try it then.
No, but I have some mittens with the little string that'll go through your sleeves so they don't get lost, that you can borrow.
the 1000 vstrom guards fit with minimal modification, just need to open up the end part that snugs on in between the clip-on and bar ends. you may also want to add some washers between the throttle end and the bar end, to ensure no friction between hand guard and throttle.
The ones I had did. However, they were made for a clutch with a cable, so they still require more modification.
Glen's the man. Got my kit out to me the same day. Handguards are a wonderful farkle, especially for NNY.
Yep. But, I just searched over to vstrom.info... Seems that there are/were three distinct sets for the Strom. Seems the difference was the notch and boot for the Wee. Early 1000 guards did not have the bar end mounting point or so it seems. Oddly, when I got my Wabs, the part was not listed as available, but my parts dude found them. Now, if you look under the '08 1000 list, the guards are not to be found.
Maybe Suzi got a little upset about all the cross-polination? Maybe they couldn't reconcile themselves to selling more accessories than bikes?
