Doing a search with either of these terms i come up blank. What's an affordable handguard to install on a hawk??

There are usually a ton of cheaper hand guards on ebay, which is where I usually get mine...

I really like the Acerbis Uniko handguards. I've had three sets now. Inexpensive, easy to mount, look nice and basically do the job. No, they arent made for major crashes or fending off oak trees but they do the job on bugs and small branches.

I have the white with black lettering ordered for the new TT and here's a pic of the black with white lettering I have on the X-Moto.

cheap enough to mod if necessary without crying over your wallet

Have you not mounted them?

mjstef · 03-16-2016, 10:01 AM

Yeah, I shimmed out a little and moved my controls in a bit and got them to fit. Levers still touch but don't bind.....

I bought those and mine don't seem to fit. When you say shim do you mean like a 2 inch extension? that's what it looks like it will need on my bike. Do you have pics of what you did?
