Description Barkbusters BHG-094 handguard mounting kit for Yamaha MT 07 2021-2024, MT 09, Tracer and XSR 900

The BHG-094 is the Barkbusters mounting frame with two mounting points that the manufacturer lists for five Yamahas: MT 07 from 2021 to 2024, MT 09 from 2013 to 2020, MT 09 SP from 2018 to 2020, MT 09 Tracer from 2014 to 2020, and XSR 900 from 2016 to 2021.

The list seems strange until you understand the criterion: Barkbusters does not design the kits around the motorcycle's name, but around the handlebar geometry. The MT 09 up to 2020 and the MT 07 from 2021 use the same handlebar, so they use the same frame. This is also why, for these motorcycles, the year matters before the model.

Good to know before ordering: the handguard plastics are not included, while the handlebar weights are.

Key features

  • Two-point mounting: the configuration the manufacturer specifies for impact protection. The single-point setup is specified only for wind and weather protection.
  • Heat-treated aluminium bar: the treatment increases strength without adding weight to the structure.
  • Handlebar weights included in the package, as specified by the manufacturer.
  • Five Yamaha models covered by a single code.
  • Four compatible plastic handguard series: JET, VPS, STORM, and CARBON, interchangeable on the same frame.
  • Made in Australia by Rideworx Pty Ltd, which has designed handguards since 1984.

Protection and use

On a naked bike, the most common damage does not come from off-road riding but from parking: the motorcycle tips onto its side and the lever takes the hit, often together with the switchgear. The wraparound frame closes an aluminium arc around the hand and absorbs the contact instead of the lever. With the right plastics, it also adds protection from the wind, which you start to feel on an unfaired motorcycle from October onwards.

Materials and construction

Heat-treated aluminium bar, dedicated clamps and hardware, and handlebar weights. The manufacturer does not provide weight and dimensions in numerical form, so we do not estimate them.

A note on the finish

This is code BHG-094-NP, in natural aluminium. The manufacturer has since updated its catalogue to version BHG-094-BK, with a black powder-coated bar: it is the same kit with a different finish. We stock the NP code while supplies last. If colour is a deciding factor for you, write to us before ordering.

Barkbusters compatibility applies to the motorcycle in its original factory configuration. An aftermarket handlebar changes the diameter and thicknesses, so the mounting must be checked before purchase. Write to us with the model and year and we will check it with you.

Installation

  1. Check the model and year in the table above, and make sure the handlebar is the original one.
  2. Remove the stock handlebar weights: the ones supplied in the kit go in their place. On the MT 09 Tracer, the original handguard must also be removed, and the instructions contain a specific note for this model.
  3. Fit the clamp to the straight section of the handlebar, in front of the controls, without fully tightening it.
  4. Attach the aluminium bar to the end of the handlebar and to the clamp, then position it.
  5. Fit the plastics you have chosen, align them, and tighten.
  6. Check the throttle, front brake, clutch, and free steering from lock to lock, then check the tightening again after the first 50 km.

The tightening torques and the complete installation sequence are provided in the official Barkbusters instructions, attached to this product page and supplied with the kit.

What you will find in the package

  • Two heat-treated aluminium bars
  • Clamps and complete hardware
  • Handlebar weights
  • Installation instructions

What is NOT included

The handguard plastics, which must be ordered separately: JET-003, VPS-203, STORM STM-003, or CARBON BCF-003. EGO plastics are not compatible with this frame.

Why choose Barkbusters

Barkbusters is a brand of Rideworx Pty Ltd, an Australian company that has been producing handguards since 1984. The range is built around a simple principle: a structure designed around the actual handlebar geometry, with interchangeable plastics to choose according to how you use the motorcycle. This is also why a single code covers five different Yamahas.

Why buy it from Endurrad

At Endurrad, you will find the Barkbusters range with compatibility verified against the manufacturer's official documentation, code by code, and year ranges written out clearly instead of hidden in an unreadable table. Free shipping in Italy on orders over €100, 14-day returns, 1-year warranty. Also see the accessories for the Yamaha MT 07.

Why choose it
  • Protezione dagli impatti dichiarata. Due punti di fissaggio e alluminio trattato termicamente, non un deflettore estetico.
  • Salva la leva nel ribaltamento da fermo. Su una naked è il danno più frequente, e il più banale.
  • Contrappesi già nella scatola. Nessun acquisto aggiuntivo per chiudere il primo punto di fissaggio.
  • Quattro plastiche compatibili. Dalla JET compatta alla STORM a copertura estesa, sulla stessa struttura.
  • Codice NP in esaurimento. Il produttore è passato alla versione nera: l'alluminio naturale si trova finché c'è.
  • Prodotto in Australia. Barkbusters è un marchio di Rideworx Pty Ltd, che produce paramani dal 1984.
Who is it recommended for

A chi usa la MT tutti i giorni, in città e per andare al lavoro, e non vuole pagare leva e blocchetto per un appoggio in parcheggio.

A chi ci va anche d'inverno: senza carena l'aria sulle mani è tutta, e con le plastiche abbinate cambia parecchio.

A chi ha una XSR 900 o una Tracer e vuole una protezione che non stoni con una moto dalle linee pulite: l'alluminio naturale si legge come un pezzo tecnico, non come un accessorio da enduro.

Non è la scelta giusta se l'anno della tua moto non rientra nelle tabelle qui sopra: in quel caso il codice è un altro.

Assembly and documents

Le istruzioni ufficiali Barkbusters sono fornite con il kit e contengono una nota specifica per la MT-09 Tracer: leggile prima di iniziare invece di seguire la sequenza generica.

  1. Verifica modello e anno sulle tabelle della descrizione, e che il manubrio sia quello originale.
  2. Rimuovi i contrappesi di serie. Sulla MT-09 Tracer va rimosso anche il paramano originale.
  3. Monta il morsetto sulla sezione dritta del manubrio, davanti ai comandi, 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 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.

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.

Il catalogo è organizzato per geometria del manubrio e non per marca o modello: è la ragione per cui un solo codice copre cinque Yamaha diverse, e per cui la stessa moto cambia codice quando cambia il manubrio.
