Everything you need to know before ordering
Compatibility, included items, installation, and documents: below is every detail verified against the official Barkbusters documentation.
The BHG-082 in black powder-coated finish is the Barkbusters mounting kit designed around the handlebar geometry of the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin and the Africa Twin Adventure Sports, from 2020 onward. It is the structure that supports the handguards: it protects your hands, levers and controls from branches, gravel and low-speed falls, and stays on the bike even when you change the plastics.
It fits both the version with a DCT gearbox and the manual version: the manufacturer lists them together. And as with the entire range, the structure and protective plastics are two separate items: here you purchase the structure alone, with hardware and handlebar weights.
Key features
- Two-point mounting — anchoring at the handlebar end plus a clamp on the straight section. This is the configuration the manufacturer specifies for impact protection.
- Heat-treated aluminum bar, with a wraparound design.
- Black finish — powder coating, specified by the manufacturer for code BHG-082-BK.
- Handlebar weights included — they do not need to be purchased separately.
- DCT and manual gearbox under the same code.
- Interchangeable plastics — compatible with JET, VPS, STORM and CARBON, each sold separately.
- Made in Australia by Rideworx Pty Ltd.
Protection and use
The Africa Twin is a motorcycle you take where the road ends, and there your hands are the most exposed part: branches, gravel thrown up by the rider ahead, and the stationary fall that happens to everyone when a foot slips while crossing a ford. The two-point mounting is what Barkbusters designed specifically for this: the bar forms a cage around the hand and transfers the impact to the structure instead of the lever. On an adventure touring motorcycle, it is not an aesthetic detail; it is the difference between carrying on and looking for a workshop. The single-point configuration, the other option in the range, is specified by the manufacturer only for protection from wind and weather.
Materials and construction
Heat-treated aluminum structure, a process the manufacturer uses to increase strength and impact absorption, with black powder coating. The design is wraparound: it starts from the straight section of the handlebar, curves around the hand and closes at the end.
Compatibility
| Brand | Model | Version | Years | Code |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honda | CRF1100L Africa Twin | DCT | from 2020 | BHG-082-BK |
| Honda | CRF1100L Africa Twin | manual gearbox | from 2020 | BHG-082-BK |
| Honda | CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports | DCT | from 2020 | BHG-082-BK |

Compatibility specified by Barkbusters for motorcycles in original factory configuration. Aftermarket handlebars have different diameters and wall thicknesses: mounting must be checked before purchase. Unsure about your model? Contact us with the model and year.
Pay attention to the number. This is the code for the CRF1100L. For the CRF1000L, from 2016 to 2019, the manufacturer specifies the BHG-062 kit.
Installation
Mounts on the original handlebar, with no drilling or modifications to the motorcycle. The stock handlebar weights must be removed because the structure anchors directly at the handlebar end, and the supplied weights are used in their place.
Before fully tightening, check that the throttle, front brake, clutch and engine stop switch operate freely and that the steering turns from lock to lock without interference. Check the tightening again after the first 50 km. The complete sequence and warnings are in the official INS-BHG-082-BK instructions, attached to this product page in the Manufacturer documents section.
What you will find in the package
- Two heat-treated aluminum bars, painted black
- Clamps for the straight section of the handlebar
- Complete mounting hardware
- Handlebar weights
What is NOT included
- Protective plastics. They must be selected and ordered separately from the JET, VPS, STORM and CARBON series. EGO plastics are not compatible with this structure.
- Barkbusters LED lights. In addition to being a separate item, the manufacturer states that the LED-001 lights are not compatible with the Honda CRF1000L and CRF1100L Africa Twin.
Why choose Barkbusters
Barkbusters is a brand of Rideworx Pty Ltd, an Australian company that has designed and manufactured motorcycle handguards since 1984. The range is built around a precise idea: the structure is motorcycle-specific, while the plastics are universal within the system. Buy the correct structure once, then choose the protection you need and change it when the way you use the motorcycle changes.
The same kit is also available in a natural aluminum finish, with identical compatibility: the manufacturer keeps both versions in its catalog, so it is purely an aesthetic choice.
Why buy it from Endurrad
Endurrad supplies accessories for adventure touring, adventure and enduro motorcycles: compatibility checked against the manufacturer's documentation, official instructions attached to the product page and assistance before purchase if your model is unclear. Free shipping in Italy over €100 and in Europe over €250, returns within 14 days, 1-year warranty. See the full Barkbusters range.
