Description Barkbusters BHG-083 handguard mounting kit for Triumph Tiger 900 2020-2023 and Tiger 850 Sport

The BHG-083 is the Barkbusters mounting kit designed for the handlebars of the Triumph Tiger 900 GT, GT Low, GT Pro, Rally and Rally Pro from 2020 to 2023 and the Tiger 850 Sport from 2021. It is the structure onto which Barkbusters plastics are mounted: on its own, it protects levers and hands from impacts; with the plastics, it adds protection from wind, cold and branches.

Main features

  • Heat-treated aluminum bars, one right and one left.
  • Two-point mounting: at the handlebar end and on a multi-fit clamp, an adjustable clamp that adapts to the tube profile.
  • Compatible with JET-003, VPS-003 and BCF-003 plastics, sold separately. The manufacturer does not list STORM plastics for this code.
  • Bar-end weights not included.
  • Official instructions with illustrated parts list and tightening torques.

Protection and use

Barkbusters clearly distinguishes between the two mounting configurations, and the two-point configuration, anchored both at the end and at the center of the handlebar, is the one the manufacturer specifies for impact protection. On the Tiger 900 Rally, designed for off-road riding, and on the touring GT versions, this means keeping the brake and clutch levers protected from falls, stones and branches.

Materials and construction

Heat-treated aluminum bars (manufacturer code BAR-V-046) and MFC-L and MFC-R multi-fit clamps. The manufacturer does not state the finish or weight of the kit, so we do not report them.

Do you have a 2024 Tiger 900? The handlebar changes in 2024, and Barkbusters specifies the BHG-120.

Barkbusters states this compatibility for motorcycles in original factory configuration. Aftermarket handlebars have different diameters, wall thicknesses and end threading: mounting must be checked before purchase.

Installation

Remove the original handguards, if fitted. Mount the clamp on the handlebar without tightening it, aligning the reference marks, then secure the bar at the end and to the clamp connector and position it horizontally when viewed from the side. Tighten in the order specified by the manufacturer. Stated torques: 10 Nm for the M6 bolts and 28 Nm for the M8 bolts, using medium-strength threadlocker and checking the tightening after the first 50 km.

  • Bar-end threading: the kit mounts in the handlebar's 6 mm hole using the included M6 bolts. For greater holding strength, the manufacturer recommends re-tapping it to 8 mm; the M8 bolts are not included in that case.
  • Throttle: leave approximately 3 mm of clearance between the throttle grip and the handguard.

Barkbusters recommends professional installation.

What's included

  • 2 aluminum bars, one right and one left
  • 2 complete multi-fit clamps, right and left, and 2 connectors
  • 2 spacers
  • Hardware: 2 M6x35 countersunk bolts, 2 M8x25 button-head bolts, 4 M6x20 bolts, 2 M6x30 bolts and 2 M6 self-locking nuts
  • Official INS-BHG-083 instructions

What's NOT included

  • Protection plastics. The kit is the structure only: the plastics must be purchased separately from those listed by the manufacturer for this code.
  • Bar-end weights and end plugs: they are not included in the parts list.
  • The M8 bolts for anyone who chooses to re-tap the threading, threadlocker and tools.

Plastics to pair with it

  • JET-003: compact profile, for enduro and mixed use.
  • VPS-003: deflector adjustable to two positions, for adventure and touring. It is being phased out, and the price list indicates the VPS-203 as its replacement.
  • BCF-003, CARBON series: made of carbon fiber.

Why choose Barkbusters

Barkbusters is an Australian brand owned by Rideworx Pty Ltd, specializing in motorcycle handguards. Each specific kit is designed around the geometry of a particular handlebar, with a published parts list and an installation PDF specifying the hardware, sequence and tightening torques. The structure and plastics remain separate: you can change the plastics series or color without changing the kit.

Why buy it from Endurrad

At Endurrad, every Barkbusters product page states the exact code, the years covered and what is actually in the box, with the official instructions available for download before purchase. You can find the full range in the Barkbusters collection.

Why choose it
  • Disegnato sulla Tiger 900 prima serie: tutte le versioni dal 2020 al 2023, più la Tiger 850 Sport.
  • Fissaggio a due punti, la configurazione che Barkbusters indica per la protezione dagli impatti.
  • Tre serie di plastiche compatibili: JET, VPS e CARBON, intercambiabili anche in un secondo momento.
  • Nessuna foratura obbligatoria: si fissa nel foro già presente all'estremità del manubrio.
  • Documentazione ufficiale con distinta, sequenza di serraggio e coppie dichiarate.
Who is it recommended for

A chi ha una Tiger 900 del periodo 2020-2023, dalla GT Low alla Rally Pro, o una Tiger 850 Sport, e vuole leve e mani protette dagli urti, in viaggio come sullo sterrato.

Chi vuole le plastiche STORM deve sapere che il produttore non le indica per questo codice. Chi ha una Tiger 900 dal 2024 deve scegliere il BHG-120.

Assembly and documents

Sequenza dichiarata da Barkbusters nel PDF INS-BHG-083. Il montaggio è illustrato per il lato destro e va ripetuto a sinistra.

  1. Rimuovi i paramani originali, se presenti.
  2. Monta il morsetto sul manubrio senza serrarlo, allineando i segni di riferimento.
  3. Fissa la barra all'estremità del manubrio e al connettore del morsetto.
  4. Posiziona la barra in modo che risulti orizzontale vista di lato.
  5. Serra nell'ordine: vite svasata M6x35 dell'estremità, vite M8x25 della barra, viti M6x20 del morsetto, vite M6x30 del connettore.

Filettatura dell'estremità: per una tenuta maggiore il produttore consiglia di ripassare a 8 mm il foro da 6 mm del manubrio. Le viti M8 in quel caso vanno acquistate a parte.

Coppie di serraggio: M6 10 Nm, M8 28 Nm. Lascia circa 3 mm di gioco fra manopola del gas e paramano. Frenafiletti a media resistenza, controllo del serraggio dopo i primi 50 km, verifica di gas, freno, frizione e interruttore di spegnimento. Il produttore raccomanda il montaggio in officina.
