There are a variety of choices for flag-style hand guards at the moment. A great new choice is the Universal Flak Shield from Pro Moto Billet. The guard is a combination of two parts. The shield part is a plastic

Just what I need, another filter to check and clean. 7602 Racing says that your four-stroke is eating dirt via the carburetor vent lines, and I don’t want my bikes on that kind of diet, so I was willing to

Riding in bad conditions, weather and temperatures, even freak summer thunderstorms or cooler high elevations, is a tricky game. You’ll almost always be uncomfortable, more so if you don’t have the right gear. For the wet and the cold, Moose

I needed a set of wraparound hand guards mounted to our Yamaha WR450…and quick. I grabbed a set of Sunline Enduro Off-Road Hand Guards and went to work, picking them because of the universal fitment, which includes brackets for both
