Hand Guards ?

Post by Pappy »

Are there any hand guards that work with the bar end style Throttle Meister?

No, not with the throttle meister. I think it would be hard to find any that will work effectively with the throttle meister. You would have to use something that didn't attach to the bar end meaning that end would be left open.

Thanks, Kirby!
I did quite a bit of searching and never found anything definitive on that question (in various forums) so maybe this will also help out someone in the future!

Re: Hand Guards w/Throttlemeister

I can provide you with the necessary information. I had GS Handguards and Throttlemeister fitted to my 2004 R1150R and later moved them from the stock bars to a set of Magura Pro Tapers I had on the bike. If you want to use a Throttlemeister with R1150GS handguards, you will need the mounting kit for the GS not the R. The difference in kits is that the GS kit includes a set of machined spacers and longer bolts to support the end of the handguards. Also I used and recommend only using the heavy Throttlemeister barends due to the fact that the 1150 GS handguards extend inward over the barend weights. The standard weight throttlemeister will not leave enough room to rotate it with gloved hands. If you have any more questions let me know.

I use the Bobs wrist rest - had the original (non-GS) version for 10+ years with GS hand guards, a bit tricky to adjust but do-able. Finally bought the GS version, easier to use:
