Complete modular hand guard solutions for adventure motorcycles and more
A growing range of model-specific hand guard kits is now available from Australian hand guard specialist, Barkbusters, allowing owners of adventure motorcycles, as well as a number of street bikes, to switch out inferior OEM offerings with the best quality hand protection on the market.
With the popularity of adventure motorcycles showing no sign of waning, the market for quality parts and accessories for these machines continues to grow. Quickly recognising that many of the hand guards provided by motorcycle manufacturers are little more than a cosmetic afterthought, Barkbusters has used its 30-plus years’ experience and expertise to set about designing an array of precision-engineered hand guards that offer unrivalled impact and weather protection. Such an offering is unique in the marketplace and not available from any other manufacturer.
Aside from the upgrade in quality, another big benefit for both consumers and dealers is that the kits are interchangeable with Barkbusters’ modular range of plastics. This makes them an easy stocking solution for stores needing to maximise shelf space, allowing customers to tailor their hand guard to their own personal tastes with the confidence that parts will be in stock.
Although the focus is mainly on adventure motorcycles, a number of the hardware kits are custom designed to fit many street, dual-sport, trail and rally bikes. The full wrap-around aluminium hardware is compatible with Barkbusters JET, VPS, STORM and CARBON plastic guards.

Barkbusters CEO, Matthew Phillpott, is delighted by the reception that the model-specific hand guard kits have enjoyed, “As riders ourselves, we are in constant contact with our fellow two-wheeled enthusiasts and it turns out that a lot of people are disappointed with the stock hand guards on their bikes.
“We’re constantly evolving the range to include new models, and because we carry out design, prototyping and production here at our facility in Australia, we can react quickly to demand. The feedback has been phenomenal and it really demonstrates the importance of listening to the market.”
