Wow you guys spend more money on brush guards then I do on tires :
I'm going to try these ones off fleabay. But then I am thrifty, frugal and cheap. I'm sticking with only Chinese made parts . Don't trust any of them fancy Japenese or Merican made ones. Back at all you nay sayers . rj

I'm cheap too. I've. Used those on streetbike for wind protection, for which they work fine, but they are just flimsy plastic and offer no fall Protection, so procede with that in mind...

good deal rj on the ebay handguards ,but they wont fit the rx3. or i'd be buying them!

[rjmorel]

Fishman10, How do you know they won't fit ? I've never had any fat bars and I assumed they were 1" diameter down at the triple clamp and tapered down to 7/8" diameter at the grip ends??????? Oh well, maybe they will fit the NC700x. or being a bonerfide machinist I'll bore the hand guard clamp out 1/8" and see if I can make them work, or not, we'll see, they come with some plastic bushings so maybe they thought ahead for me ?????? rj

rj im just assuming ,,since there is no mention of fitting the fat bars,,,,but your right at that price it is probably worth trying to mod them.... an huck ,,,let me know if what you have can be made to fit ,,as i also would like a set at that low price.

Hey Joe, I saw you got a ride in on the blue RX3 with Ari from Motorcyclist magazine. So how's the 19" front wheel, compared to the stock 18"? Any difference in handling on highway? How about offroad?

They are made for the Tapered bars...Hoping they fit...
