Don't buy Acerbis unless there is some reason behind the decision.
I never cared for the Acerbis quality. I would never buy another Acerbis set.
Cheap isn't a good deal...no matter HOW cheap it is.

In that case, it's worth every penny!!!
Well...as long as it doesn't take to long to put it in/on.
Like...why buy 'cheap' bearings when it takes a couple of hours to take the pieces apart, clean, prep, grease etc..the wear and tear involved in the apart-taking can shorten the life of expensive parts...
Yes. I realize it wasn't a serious question.......

Another vote against the Acerbis ones. Maybe they have different models or sumpin, but the ones I got my kid were a total POS , the in-bar fittings were crap and had to be replaced numerous times, and as I recall you can't replace the plastic seperately. I liked the Tusk ones pretty well , like my Cycras really well.

If you have used and like them (the POS crapper Acerbis junkers), you are more than welcome to them.
Who am I to judge?
Well...someone that knows better...but I mean...besides that?
Seriously...use what suits you.
Cycras are the E-ticket guards (does anyone know what that means? I mean...I don't think such a thing exists anymore..an 'E-ticket' that is).
This is true: There IS nothing like the OEM handguards. NOone makes ANYthing nearly as useless, ineffective or stupid as does KAW when it comes to the OEM 'handguards'. Well...that's not even what they ARE...more like 'brushguards'.
Cheers!

LOL, I'm sitting here with EE(Enduro Engineering) BB's and they've held up well. No complaints. A great replacement to the stock ice cream scoops.canyncarvr wrote:This is true: There IS nothing like the OEM handguards.
