Leggi la descrizione completa
The BHG-046 is Barkbusters' mounting kit covering ten models from Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Ural: large touring and dual-sport bikes with the original 22 mm handlebar. It is the aluminum structure that supports the handguards and protects your hands, levers, and controls from branches, gravel, and low-speed falls.
This is not a universal kit; quite the opposite: it is designed around a precise handlebar geometry shared by those ten motorcycles. As with the entire range, the structure and protective plastics are two separate items: here you are buying the structure only, with hardware and handlebar weights.
Main 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 — they do not need to be purchased separately.
- Ten motorcycles, four brands 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
Varadero, Crosstourer, NC700X, V-Strom, Versys 1000: these are touring motorcycles that cover serious mileage and also end up on gravel tracks and unpaved roads. That is where your hands are most exposed, and on a heavy motorcycle, a stationary fall can happen to anyone. The two-point mounting is what Barkbusters designed specifically for this purpose: the bar forms a cage around your hand and transfers the impact to the structure instead of the lever. 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.

Compatibility stated by Barkbusters for motorcycles in original factory configuration. Aftermarket handlebars may have different diameters and wall thicknesses: check the mounting compatibility before purchase. Unsure about your model? Contact us with the model and year.
Manufacturer's stated exclusion: not suitable for motorcycles with a sidecar fitted with a windshield.
If you have a Honda CB500X, check the year. Compatibility here ends in 2015. For later model years: BHG-055 for 2016-2018 and BHG-123 from 2019.
Installation
Installs 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 ends, and the weights supplied in the kit are used in their place.
Before fully tightening, check that the throttle, front brake, clutch, and kill switch operate freely and that the steering turns from lock to lock without interference. Check the tightness again after the first 50 km. The complete procedure and warnings are provided in the official INS-BHG-046-NP instructions, attached to this listing in the Manufacturer documents section.
What you will find in the box
- 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 items.
Why choose Barkbusters

Montaggio e requisiti
Come si monta
- Verifica che il manubrio sia quello originale da 22 mm e che modello e anno rientrino in tabella.
- Rimuovi i paramani originali, se presenti, e i contrappesi di serie: al loro posto vanno quelli forniti nel kit.
- Monta il morsetto sulla sezione dritta del manubrio, davanti ai comandi, senza serrare a fondo.
- Fissa la barra in alluminio all estremità del manubrio e al morsetto, poi portala in posizione.
- Monta le plastiche che hai scelto, allinea tutto e serra.
- 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.
