Highway Dirtbike Handguards

Got my order from Highway Dirtbikes today, so I got on it and got everthing installed. I ordered the handguards, turn signals, low rise lower bar mount with Scotts mount, standard upper mount, and the mirrors. This stuff is the poop.









Anyone want some lightly used Zeta handguards with built in turn signals for cheap, let me know.

Those things are sweet. If I hadn't just spent 300 bucks on my WR I'd get a set. Mind giving a ballpark figure of what the grand total for all that was?

What color?

How much?

Wow, I want those mirros. They don't seem to sell them separately

So just sell the inferior junk you got on your bike now (like I did), and buy the whole kit. It is the poop. That's for sure.

My notes regarding installation of HDB Billet Handguards and Mirrors on 2010 WR250R. This assumes a purchase of handguards, new pre-tapped handlebar, and mirrors from Highway Dirt Bikes.

Phillips Screwdriver
Metric Hex Keys
Compressed Air Gun
Hack Saw and Razor
Round File and Sandpaper
Metric Socket Set
Grip Glue

I have learned a great deal from the postings on this forum. I hope this in turn proves useful to the group.

Kind Regards,

Love the HDB stuff!

Nice looking set up here. One thing no one else has posted about is that front brake hose. That is one of the first things I changed on my 2r. I wish I could post pictures of my set up here, not savy enough for pictures. I have all stainless hose with a junction at the lower tripple tree. Flex happens below it and the stock bracket below. This eliminates that hose distraction and chance of interfering with other farkels on handlebars. Seems to be working fine. I have almost 7k miles on it now. Love the 2R Berwyn

ekahwaty,

Great write up and much appreciated! This is exactly the setup I will be doing soon. Thank you very much!
With that setup there is room underneath for a future installation of a damper don't you think?

That is an iPod controller bolted to the left side of the clamp in the trail pic?

Berwyn,

Man what you have done is exactly what I want to do when I raise the bars. A firm brake feel is everything to me. Please, please post a pic and/or information of you sources if you found it pre-made. I know I can have them custom made though so pictures of what is working for you would be most helpful.

Ryan's slow (on reading the forum but fast as hell on his WRR.... ), Yes, that is an Ipod remote. HDB makes the mount and the controller is made by Schosche. I've got one on my WRR and it works great.

Uh, Ryan went to Auburn......so it's WDE for him..........

You know I want to comment on the WDE but I won't and you know why :)

I'm just a transplanted Texas Aggie here in Bammer..... I don't have a dog in that fight.
But I do know why you don't have a comment. I work with a bunch of Bama fans and they aren't saying much either......

Chief, I think the damper would fit with the tall clamps....

Your ipod stays in your jacket but is controlled from the remote on the HDB mount.
Add some Skull Candy quiet earbuds.
I'll get another pick up soon of my HDB setup. I've got a switch and light installed on the HDB mount for my heated grips and it really worked out well.
War Eagle!

Just placed my order. Beat Oregon for the SEC!

I love me some HDB!! I sent my rocker switch for my grip heaters out to Paul about a yr ago so he could get the top clamp matched up perfectly for these little rocker switches. From what he's said he's gotten a lot of other requests for them... glad I could help out! top notch products!

Here is a pic from the HDB gallary of a set-up with damper.

Dig the setup as well

Here is a poor photo of my current setup:





The powerlet on the left is unswitched. I use it to hook up a battery tender, run a small air pump on the trail to fix flats, etc. The powerlet on the right is switched via a relay to the headlight. I run a heated jacket liner thru it.
The red button is a waterproof on/off switch from HDB which I'm using for heated grips. This circuit is also switched via a relay to the headlight. The blue led is an indicator light for the heated grips. LED sourced from ebay.

I'm using this setup to individually switch and fuse these circuits:

Works very well.

White HDB turn signals. I am very satisfied with the result. Now must try to take off the weight I just added.

I have the same coming. Where did the windscreen come from?

I have a WRR and I'm also going with the Highway dirtbike Handguards, but want to keep the stock overall height of the bars. My main concern is stretching out the cables.

Questions:
* Has anyone matched the existing setup with the fat bars and risers?
* I like the Henry bars, but to match the existing overall height I think I need to go with the 1 3/4" and the Woods low or Carmichael bend.
* Has anyone asked for a shorter bottom clamp to match the existing 1.4" clamp?
* I'm concerned the large top clamp will interfere with inserting the key if I go to low, any issues?

I've emailed Paul, but wanted to get advice from WRR riders before ordering.

Thanks for the help,

Dan

These mounted up very quickly with renthal no frills bars. The top plate is otter but still fits the key only one way.
As for the windshield, It is off a 90's ninja. I just customized some slots so the light mount holds it in.

Thanks soggy... installing the guard and signals this weekend. Don't go ride at Tahuya or Walker without a skid plate!
