“ It wasn ’ t just a case of ‘ show and tell ’ at EICMA 2017 . While riders around the world can already buy our existing extensive range of handguards in 34 countries , more and more international dealers and distributors are approaching us with a view to stocking our award-winning designs every year .” The AERO-GP is a racing style lever protector that gives dealers an option to meet the growing demand for lever , hand and wrist protection on street bikes used in the increasingly congested suburban and urban riding environments . “ Unlike many of the other lever guards already on the market , the AERO-GP is not just a piece of CNC-machined jewellery for track riders , it ’ s a functional guard styled in the unique Barkbusters way - a design that offers a practical and stylish solution for real world road riding ”. The unveiling of the new prototype handguard at EICMA gave Barkbusters ’ distributors and the international motorcycle market in general an insight into how one successful specialist Australian business is not only diversifying its product range , but preparing to evolve the concept of the protection that well designed , well-made handguards can provide for riders and

machinery of all kinds . “ In our ever more congested city and urban environments it won ’ t be long before hand and lever protection is considered as much of a necessity for street bike riders as it has been for off-roaders for decades , and we here at Barkbusters intend to have all the options and angles covered ”.
