Redesigns are not necessarily a guarantee of success or even improvement. Messing with the original has often produced less-than-desirable results. Remember New Coke, the new T-Bird or On Any Sunday II? Sometimes it is best to leave a good thing
When it comes to hand guards, the basic design hasn’t changed much in the last few years: aluminum spine with plastic deflectors to shield the digits. Rather than reinvent the wheel, Motonation set out to simply introduce some refinements and
