Description Barkbusters BHG-069 handguard mounting kit for BMW G 310 GS and G 310 R

The BHG-069 is the specific mounting kit for BMW G 310 GS and G 310 R: a heat-treated aluminum bar, clamps, and hardware. It is the frame only, without plastics.

Stated compatibility

Model Years
BMW G 310 GS from 2017
BMW G 310 R from 2016

The years differ because the R was released before the GS. Compatibility is stated for motorcycles in original factory configuration.

Impact protection

Two mounting points and heat-treated aluminum. Barkbusters states that this configuration is designed for impact protection.

On a 310, it is a choice that pays for itself quickly: a bent lever costs just as much as one for a larger motorcycle, and on a bike often used in the city or as a first motorcycle, stationary impacts and parking-lot falls are, if anything, more frequent.

Plastics are NOT included

Plastic Character
JET-003 Compact profile, the most discreet in the range: the most balanced choice for a 310
VPS-203 Wind deflector adjustable to two positions
STM-003 The most extensive coverage in the range: road use and cold weather
BCF-003 Genuine carbon fiber

EGO plastics are not compatible. You can change them over the years without touching the frame.

What you will find in the package

  • Two heat-treated aluminum bars, natural finish.
  • Clamps and complete hardware.

What is NOT included

  • Protective plastics, to be chosen from JET, VPS, STORM, and CARBON.

Why buy it from Endurrad

Free shipping in Italy over €100 and in Europe over €250, returns within 14 days, and support in Italian. If you do not know which plastic to choose, write to us: the answer depends on how and where you ride.

Why choose it
  • Protezione dagli impatti dichiarata. Due punti di fissaggio e alluminio trattato termicamente.
  • Un solo codice per due moto. G 310 GS e G 310 R condividono il manubrio.
  • Disegnato su questo manubrio. Non è un universale adattato: barra e morsetto sono specifici.
  • Quattro plastiche compatibili. JET, VPS, STORM e CARBON, intercambiabili negli anni sulla stessa struttura.
  • Prodotto in Australia. Barkbusters è un marchio di Rideworx Pty Ltd, che produce paramani dal 1984.
Who is it recommended for

A chi ha una BMW G 310 GS o G 310 R e la usa tutti i giorni: in città gli urti da fermo e le cadute in parcheggio sono il rischio più concreto, e una leva piegata costa uguale che su una moto grossa.

A chi usa la G 310 GS su strade bianche e vuole protezione vera, non solo riparo dal vento.

Chi cerca il profilo più discreto può abbinare le plastiche JET, le più compatte della gamma.

Assembly and documents

Le istruzioni ufficiali INS-BHG-069-NP sono allegate a questa scheda.

  1. Verifica modello e anno: G 310 GS dal 2017, G 310 R dal 2016.
  2. Rimuovi i paramani originali, se presenti, e i contrappesi.
  3. Monta il morsetto sulla sezione dritta del manubrio, senza serrare a fondo.
  4. Fissa la barra in alluminio all estremità del manubrio e al morsetto, poi portala in posizione.
  5. Monta le plastiche che hai scelto, allinea tutto e serra.
  6. Verifica il funzionamento di gas, freno anteriore, frizione e interruttore di arresto, e che lo sterzo giri liberamente da fondo a fondo. Ricontrolla il serraggio dopo i primi 50 km.

Frenafiletti di media resistenza su tutti i fissaggi. Il produttore considera il montaggio dei paramani un intervento rilevante per la sicurezza, da affidare a un tecnico se non hai dimestichezza.

Manufacturer

Barkbusters è un marchio di Rideworx Pty Ltd, azienda australiana che progetta e produce paramani per moto dal 1984.

I kit bike-specific sono disegnati sulla geometria del manubrio di una moto precisa, e il produttore raggruppa sotto lo stesso codice moto anche molto diverse fra loro quando condividono il manubrio: è il caso della G 310 GS e della G 310 R.

A lever costs the same on a 310.

  • Declared impact protection for the motorcycle, where stationary impacts and parking falls are more frequent.
Two different motorcycles, the same handlebars

Two different motorcycles, the same handlebars

The G 310 GS is an adventure road bike, while the G 310 R is a naked bike, but they share the same handlebar: the manufacturer lists the same part number for both. Only the launch years differ, as the R was released in 2016 and the GS in 2017.

FAQs

For more information, see our FAQ of frequently asked questions.

Which motorcycles does it fit?

On two BMW models: the G 310 GS from 2017 and the G 310 R from 2016. They are different years because the R was released first.

Does the same kit fit the GS and the R?

Yes. The manufacturer lists the same code for both: although one is an adventure bike and the other a naked bike, they share the same handlebar.

Are the protective plastic parts included?

No. The BHG-069 is the mounting frame only: aluminum bars, clamps, and hardware. The plastic components are selected and purchased separately.

What plastics can I install on it?

Four series: JET with a compact profile, VPS with an adjustable deflector, STORM with extended coverage, and CARBON in fiber. EGO plastics are not compatible.

On a 310, aren't they oversized?

It's a legitimate question, and the practical answer is no. A bent lever costs the same on a 310 as on a 1250, and on a bike that's often a first motorcycle or used in the city, the risk of a stationary fall or a knock in a parking lot is actually higher. If you're looking for the most discreet profile, the JET plastics are the most compact in the range.

Does it protect the lever in a fall?

Yes. It has two attachment points, and the manufacturer states that heat treatment of the aluminum is intended to add strength and protection against impacts.

Do I need to remove the original counterweights?

The structure attaches to the end of the handlebar, so the original bar-end weights must be removed. The official instructions attached to the product page show the correct sequence.

What finish does it have?

Natural aluminum. The official code is BHG-069-NP, and the manufacturer does not offer a black-painted version of this kit.

My model is listed, but the year isn’t: will it still fit?

We never broaden the year range by inference: if yours is not among those listed, write to us with the chassis number and we will verify it before ordering.

I installed an aftermarket handlebar: does it fit the same way?

The manufacturer declares compatibility with motorcycles in their original factory configuration. On an aftermarket handlebar, the diameter and geometry change, so the fitment must be checked on a case-by-case basis before purchase.

What will I find in the package?

The two aluminum bars, clamps, and mounting hardware. No protective plastic.

Can I change the plastics later?

Yes, and it’s the principle behind the entire Barkbusters range: the structure stays, while the plastics can be changed. You can install the JET handguards in summer and switch to the STORM handguards in winter without touching the bars.
