Is it truly waterproof?

The fabric is lined with a waterproof membrane, so it keeps out rain and snow as well as wind. It is the construction feature that the manufacturer lists first in the description.

Can I remove it in spring and put it back in winter?

Yes, and it’s the most common way to use it. It is secured with screws and can be removed without special tools: many people keep it installed from October to March and remove it for the warmer months.

What will I find in the package?

The two fabric handguards and all the hardware for the three mounting methods: to the counterweight, inside the hollow handlebar, and on a Barkbusters structure.

Is it also compatible with heated grips?

Yes, and together they work very well: the heated grips warm the palm, while the BBZ blocks the wind on the back of the hand, where the cold really gets through. The handguard does not interfere with the controls.

How does it differ from a plastic handguard?

The plastic handguard protects against the wind and, if it has two mounting points, protects the lever in a fall; but it lets air in from the sides and does not enclose the hand. The BBZ wraps around the hand and insulates it: it is the product for truly cold weather. It does not protect against impacts, but it can be mounted over an aluminum handguard to have both benefits.

Panoramica

In breve

Tessuto impermeabile per il freddo vero. Tre modi di fissaggio, viteria inclusa.

Massima protezione dal freddo.

È la dichiarazione del produttore, e il motivo per cui esiste questo prodotto nella gamma.

Membrana impermeabile.

Ferma pioggia e neve, non solo il vento.

Va anche sulle carenate.

Flette attorno a carena e parabrezza a fondo sterzo, dove un paramano rigido andrebbe in battuta.

Non sbatte al vento.

Disegno anti-sbattimento autoportante: mantiene la forma invece di afflosciarsi sui comandi.

Si somma, non sostituisce.

Si monta anche sopra i paramani in alluminio che hai già.

Dal produttore BARKBUSTERS

Barkbusters è un marchio di Rideworx Pty Ltd, azienda australiana che progetta e produce paramani per moto dal 1984.

Il BBZ è l eccezione della gamma: non è un paramano in alluminio e plastica ma in tessuto tecnico, e affronta un problema diverso, il freddo, invece della protezione dagli urti. È anche l unico prodotto Barkbusters che può convivere con gli altri sulla stessa moto.

Leggi la descrizione completa

BBZ-001 is the handguard Barkbusters designed for real cold: semi-rigid fabric lined with a waterproof membrane that wraps around your hand and keeps out wind, rain, and snow. It is not a plastic handguard, and it is different from everything else in the range.

It does not protect against impacts, and it does not pretend to

The BBZ protects against the elements. For lever protection in a fall, you need a two-point aluminum handguard. The good news is that they are not alternatives: the BBZ can also be fitted over an existing Barkbusters frame, giving you both.

Three mounting options, all included

How it is mounted	When
To the handlebar end weight	If the motorcycle has the original screw-in bar-end weights
Inside the hollow handlebar	If the handlebar end is open
Over a Barkbusters frame	If you already have aluminum handguards fitted

Hardware for all three options is included: that is why the manufacturer states that it is suitable for almost any handlebar configuration.

Designed for faired motorcycles

This is what makes it unique. The fabric flexes around the fairing and windscreen at full steering lock, where a rigid handguard would make contact. That is why Barkbusters recommends it for faired sport and touring motorcycles, as well as road, dual-sport, and adventure bikes.

And it is not a soft handlebar-muff cover: the design is flap-resistant and self-supporting, meaning it maintains its shape under wind pressure instead of collapsing onto your hand. The controls remain unobstructed.

What you will find in the box

Two fabric handguards, right and left, lined with a waterproof membrane.
All hardware for the three mounting options.

What is NOT included

Nothing essential: the set is complete and can also be fitted without any frame.

Why buy it from Endurrad

Free shipping in Italy on orders over €100 and in Europe on orders over €250, returns within 14 days, and support in Italian. If you are not sure which of the three mounting options is right for your motorcycle, send us a photo of the handlebar: we will tell you.

Nella confezione

Due paramani in tessuto — destro e sinistro, foderati con membrana impermeabile.
Viteria per tre modi di fissaggio — al contrappeso del manubrio, dentro il manubrio cavo, oppure sopra una struttura Barkbusters esistente.
Nessuna struttura necessaria — si monta anche da solo, su una moto senza paramani.
Protezione dagli impatti assente — è un paramano in tessuto: per il riparo della leva in caduta serve un modello in alluminio a due punti, che si può comunque usare insieme a questo.

BBZ-001 · Fabric with waterproof membrane · Three fastening methods · Universal

The Barkbusters product for true cold weather

It doesn’t protect against impacts, but it shields your hands from wind, rain, and snow. It can also be mounted over the handguards you already have.

Even on fully faired bikes, where plastic has no place

On a fully faired sport bike, a rigid handguard hits the fairing and windscreen at full lock. The BBZ flexes and clears them: that is why Barkbusters specifically recommends it for fully faired and touring motorcycles, where the other series cannot be fitted.

It doesn’t flap in the wind

It is not a soft handlebar-mitt cover. The design is anti-flapping and self-supporting: under wind pressure, it maintains its shape instead of collapsing onto your hand and the controls. It is the practical difference you can feel at 130 km/h.

Three mounting options, hardware included

The package includes the hardware to attach it in three different ways: to the handlebar counterweight, inside the hollow handlebar, or on top of an already installed Barkbusters structure. One of the three works on almost all motorcycles.

It adds to the handguards you already have.

If you already have Barkbusters aluminum handguards, you don’t have to choose: the BBZ mounts on top. Keep the lever protection in a fall and add protection from the cold for winter, then remove it in spring.

Montaggio e requisiti

Come si monta

Guarda com è fatta l estremità del tuo manubrio e scegli il modo di fissaggio: al contrappeso, dentro il manubrio cavo, oppure sopra una struttura Barkbusters già presente.
Monta il paramano destro e il sinistro con la minuteria corrispondente.
Verifica che a fondo corsa dello sterzo il paramano fletta liberamente e non forzi contro carena o parabrezza.
Controlla che la mano entri ed esca senza impedimenti e che gas, freno anteriore, frizione e interruttore di arresto restino liberi.
Ricontrolla il serraggio dopo i primi 50 km.

Istruzioni complete e note di sicurezza

Le istruzioni ufficiali INS-BBZ-001 sono allegate a questa scheda. Il produttore prevede tre modi di fissaggio, con la relativa minuteria già in confezione.

Il produttore considera il montaggio dei paramani un intervento rilevante per la sicurezza, da affidare a un tecnico se non hai dimestichezza.

A chi non smette di andare in moto d inverno e vuole mani asciutte e calde, in città come in autostrada.

A chi ha una moto carenata, sportiva o da turismo, dove i paramani rigidi non si possono montare per l ingombro a fondo sterzo.

A chi ha già dei paramani Barkbusters in alluminio e vuole aggiungere il riparo dal freddo per la stagione fredda, senza rinunciare alla protezione della leva.

Non è la scelta giusta per chi cerca protezione dagli urti: il tessuto non fa quel lavoro.

Domande frequenti

Le domande che ci fate più spesso

Does it protect the lever in a fall?

No. The BBZ is a fabric handguard: it protects against cold, wind, rain, and snow, not impacts. If you’re looking for lever protection in a fall, you need a two-point aluminum handguard, and it’s also possible to combine them because the BBZ mounts over an existing Barkbusters structure.

How do you install it if I don't have any handguards?

Independently, without needing any mounting structure. The manufacturer provides the hardware to attach it to the handlebar counterweight or inside the hollow handlebar: one of the two methods works on almost all motorcycles.

I already have Barkbusters handguards: can I fit it on top?

Yes, and it is the third available mounting method. The package also includes the hardware for mounting it on an existing Barkbusters structure: this way, you keep the aluminum lever guard and add protection from the cold.

Does it flap in the wind like handlebar mitts?

No, and that's the difference compared with soft handlebar mitts. The BBZ has a self-supporting anti-flapping design: under wind pressure, it keeps its shape instead of collapsing onto your hand.

I have a fully faired motorcycle: does the windshield touch when turning the handlebars?

The manufacturer designed it precisely for this: the fabric flexes around the fairing and windshield at full steering lock, instead of exerting force as rigid plastic would. That is why Barkbusters describes it as ideal for fully faired sport bikes and touring motorcycles.

Can I reach the clutch and brake?

Yes. The manufacturer states that the handguard keeps the controls free from interference: the hand can move in and out, and the levers remain accessible.
