PRO GuIDe GX1 off-road boots Handguard hardware kit for Versys Gaerne's latest innovative entry level GX1 off-road boot incorporates "technology and styling, providing protection, comfort and performance", and is made from high quality materials in Italy. The structural support consists of two lugs that slide inside designed pockets, avoiding front and rear over-extension while providing flex forwards and backwards, being anti-torsion. On the upper side it features stamped suede for increased grip and heat resistance. The closure system is made from four light alloy replaceable buckles for "easy, fast and precise closing". Barkbusters, the world's leading motorcycle handguard specialist, has announced the release of an addition to its growing range of bike-specific hardware kits for the Kawasaki Versys 1000 (2019 and up). Two mounting points secure the full wrap-around aluminium design, with the heat-treated aluminium backbone adding strength and impact protection. The kit is compatible with their JET, VPS, Storm and Carbon handguards (each sold separately), so there is Barkbusters protection available to suit each Versys rider's individual style and needs. The company is well known for a range of leading handguard designs and safety solutions, including their state-of-the-art, aerodynamically designed AERO-GP lever guards - "conceived with safety in mind, but created to be beautiful when fitted to your machine," says Robert Veljanoski, General Manager. The AERO-GP is compatible with most makes and models, including fully faired sports bikes, tourers and scooters. Established in 1984, Barkbusters handguards are manufactured in Australia by Rideworx Pty Ltd. and available through distributors worldwide.
