I'm sticking with KTM Orange. That's final...I think. Which handguards should I choose to match my KTM Orange bike, Doc?

I voted orange with the black spoilers.

Black and black then. :(

I think all three of the top vote winners would look good on my Zong. However, I just placed my order for choice #1, the black handguards with orange spoilers. Therefore, I am going with the recommendations of Weldangrind and MICRider.



I think the orange spoilers will look very good, and provide good visibility for the front view of my Zong. The black handguards will match the black handlebars when viewed from the rear of the bike. I also like the contrast of the black lettering on the orange spoilers.

Finally, I think Weldangrind has impeccable taste regarding matters of esthetics. I have followed his advice every other time I have asked for input regarding color selection, and I think my Zong looks great as a result! Therefore, I have decided to "stick with a winner," and follow Weldangrind's advice once again.



I wish to thank everyone for his input regarding this topic. As always, I appreciate your help.

Indeed! Black and orange handguards will prevent black and blue fingers!

I have no experience with that style of handguard. Please show us the installation process.

Today I installed my Tusk D-Flex Handguards and went for a nice ride.



I will soon post a thread on my handguard installation, and provide a link to it in this thread.

I am very pleased with my Tusk D-Flex Handguards, and I wish to thank everyone for his helpful input on this project.

Looks good. :P

Was it hard to get them to work with the levers?

Was it hard to get the throttle grip to not rub and cause friction in it's operation?

Neither the levers nor the throttle grip caused any problems, Doc. Everything works great. I'm very pleased with my Tusk D-Flex Handguards.

Friday I took my Zong to explore some new trails just north of Utah. Here are some photographs of the Zong parked just inside the Utah border.





The Tour of Idaho (1) begins at this spot.

The views were wonderful; I had a great ride.







My Tusk D-Flex Hanguards are doing an excellent job! Once again, thanks to everyone for his input.
