Barkbusters BHG-093 handguard mounting kit for Honda CRF300 Rally from 2021

The BHG-093 is the Barkbusters mounting kit designed around the handlebar geometry of the Honda CRF300 Rally from 2021 onward. It is the aluminum structure that supports the handguards: it protects your hands, levers, and controls from branches, loose stones, and falls, and stays on the motorcycle even when you change the plastics.

CRF300 Rally only, not CRF300L. The two motorcycles share their engine and chassis, but the Rally has fairing and a windscreen, and the clamp must accommodate them: for the CRF300L, the manufacturer specifies a different code, BHG-091. This is the most common purchasing mistake with these two motorcycles.

As with the entire range, the structure and protective plastics are two separate products: here you are purchasing the structure only, 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 and natural aluminum finish.
• Handlebar weights included — unlike the CRF300L version.
• Specific to the Rally, designed to accommodate the stock fairing and windscreen.
• Interchangeable plastics — compatible with JET, VPS, STORM, and CARBON, each sold separately.
• Made in Australia by Rideworx Pty Ltd.

Protection and use

The CRF300 Rally is bought for going far on roads that eventually run out: a large tank, a windscreen, and the idea of loading it up and setting off. In that kind of use, your hands are the most exposed part — branches, loose stones, and the stationary fall that happens to everyone when the motorcycle is loaded. The stock handguards are plastic and have no internal structure: they shield you from the wind, but in a fall they bend together with the lever. Two-point mounting does a different job: the aluminum bar forms a cage around your hand and transfers the impact to the structure. A thousand kilometers from home, that 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

The structure is made of heat-treated aluminum, a process the manufacturer uses to increase strength and impact absorption capacity. The design is wraparound: it starts at the straight section of the handlebar, curves around the hand, and closes at the end. The clamp and bar curve are calculated around the Rally's dimensions.

Compatibility

Compatibility specified by Barkbusters for motorcycles in original factory configuration. Aftermarket handlebars may have different diameters and wall thicknesses: verify the mounting before purchasing. Unsure about your model? Contact us with the model and year.

Installation

Mounts to the original handlebar, with no drilling or motorcycle modifications. The stock plastic handguards must be removed, as must the original handlebar weights: the structure anchors precisely at the handlebar ends, 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 interfering with the fairing. Check the tightening again after the first 50 km, and after every fall. The complete procedure and warnings are provided in the official instructions INS-BHG-093-NP, attached to this product page in the Manufacturer documents section.

What you will find in the package

• Two heat-treated aluminum bars
• 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.
• LED lights and other accessories in the range, which remain separate products.

Why choose Barkbusters

Barkbusters is a Rideworx Pty Ltd brand, an Australian company that has designed and produced motorcycle handguards since 1984. The catalog distinguishes between the CRF300L and CRF300 Rally with two different codes even though the two motorcycles are closely related: this is the level of detail that distinguishes a kit designed for a specific motorcycle from an adaptable accessory.
