Everything you need to know before ordering

Compatibility, included items, installation, and documents: below is every detail verified against the official Barkbusters documentation.

Description Barkbusters JET-003 compact-profile handguard plastics

The JET-003 is the pair of protective plastic shells from Barkbusters’ JET series. They mount onto an aluminum frame already installed on the motorcycle: it’s a way to refresh the system after a fall or a season riding through branches, or to change its color, without replacing the frame.

It is not a complete handguard. The package contains the two plastic shells and the four self-tapping screws for securing them. The mounting frame is sold separately: if you don’t have one yet, choose the specific mounting kit for your motorcycle or a universal kit.

Compact profile, more airflow around your hands

That is the difference between the JET and the other series. The JET does not have an adjustable wind deflector: the shell stays low and lets air flow through instead of creating a stagnant pocket around your hand. Barkbusters specifies it for dual sport, enduro, and trail riding, where wind protection matters less than ventilation and reduced bulk. If you’re looking for the opposite—more protection in winter—the series to consider is the VPS with adjustable deflector.

Declared compatibility

Frame Compatibility
Barkbusters aluminum frames (BHG, BLG, universal) Compatible
EGO frame Not compatible

Plastic compatibility depends on the frame they are mounted on, not on the motorcycle model. Barkbusters states its compatibility for vehicles in their original factory configuration.

Colors

Eight catalog colors: black, blue, green, gray, orange, red, white, and yellow.

What is NOT included

  • The aluminum mounting frame, which is sold separately.
  • The wind deflector, which is not included in the JET series.

Installation

The plastic shells attach to the frame with two self-tapping screws per side, with no modifications required. Make sure there is approximately 3 mm of clearance between the end of the grip and the handguard so the throttle can close freely, and check the operation of the throttle, front brake, clutch, and engine cut-off switch before setting off. Barkbusters recommends using a medium-strength threadlocker and asks you to check the tightening again after the first 50 km.

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 before and after purchase. If you’re unsure which frame you have installed, contact us before ordering.

Why choose it
  • Profilo compatto. Ingombro ridotto e più aria alle mani: la scelta da fuoristrada e da stagione calda.
  • Cambi colore senza cambiare struttura. La parte costosa del sistema resta sulla moto: si sostituisce solo la plastica.
  • Viteria inclusa. Quattro viti nella confezione: non serve recuperare nulla dal set precedente.
  • Plastica resistente agli impatti. È la parte che incassa rami, pietrisco e detriti e che protegge le leve.
  • Prodotto in Australia. Barkbusters è un marchio di Rideworx Pty Ltd, che produce paramani dal 1984.
Who is it recommended for

A chi gira in fuoristrada, fra dual sport, enduro e trail, e vuole un paramano che protegga senza chiudere la mano in una sacca d'aria ferma.

A chi ha già una struttura Barkbusters montata e deve sostituire le plastiche dopo una caduta o una stagione passata fra i rami.

A chi gira soprattutto d'estate e trova le plastiche con deflettore troppo calde: qui l'aria passa.

Assembly and documents

Barkbusters non pubblica un PDF dedicato al solo codice JET-003. La procedura qui sotto e le avvertenze sono quelle delle istruzioni ufficiali della serie JET, dove le plastiche compaiono a distinta.

  1. Con la struttura già montata sul manubrio, smonta le plastiche esistenti.
  2. Fissa ogni plastica alla struttura con le due viti autofilettanti fornite, facendo coincidere i fori.
  3. Serra senza forzare: la plastica non deve risultare in tensione.
  4. Verifica che resti un gioco di circa 3 mm fra l'estremità della manopola e il paramano, perché il gas chiuda libero.
  5. Controlla il funzionamento di gas, freno anteriore, frizione e interruttore di arresto prima di partire.
  6. Ricontrolla il serraggio di tutte le viti dopo i primi 50 km.

Il produttore consiglia un frenafiletti di media resistenza su tutti i fissaggi e considera il montaggio dei paramani un intervento rilevante per la sicurezza, da affidare a un tecnico se non hai dimestichezza. Le compatibilità valgono per veicoli in configurazione originale di fabbrica.

Manufacturer

Barkbusters è un marchio di Rideworx Pty Ltd, azienda australiana che progetta e produce paramani per moto dal 1984. La gamma è costruita su un principio preciso: la struttura di montaggio e le plastiche di protezione sono due articoli distinti, così che le seconde restino intercambiabili sulla stessa struttura.

Il produttore distingue sempre due configurazioni di fissaggio: due punti, indicato per la protezione dagli impatti, e punto singolo, indicato solo per la protezione da vento e intemperie.

Compact profile, more room for your hands

Compact profile, more room for your hands

The JET does not have a wind deflector: the shell stays low, measuring 110 mm high by 245 mm long, and lets air flow through instead of stopping it around the hand. That is why Barkbusters lists it for dual-sport, enduro, and trail riding.

It attaches to the structure you already have

It attaches to the structure you already have

Viewed from the inside, the mounting points are visible: two holes on each side that align with those on the aluminum frame. No modifications, no adaptations. The frame remains on the motorcycle; only the plastic changes.

Right and left pair, screws included

Right and left pair, screws included

This is what the package contains: two plastic pieces, one right and one left, plus the four self-tapping screws for fastening them. Nothing needs to be salvaged from the previous set. The mounting structure, however, is a separate item.

Eight colors, same structure

Eight colors, same structure

Black, blue, green, gray, orange, red, white, and yellow. The range is designed to match the factory colors of the most popular motorcycles, and it can be changed without dismantling the structure.

FAQs

For more information, see our FAQ of frequently asked questions.

Do the JET-003 plastics include the mounting structure?

No. The JET-003 is only the pair of protective plastic pieces, with the screws to attach them. The aluminum structure they are mounted on is a separate item and must be purchased separately.

Which Barkbusters frames do they mount on?

On all Barkbusters aluminum frames, with the sole exception of the EGO frame, which has its own mount. The manufacturer states this.

What exactly is included in the package?

Two protective plastic pieces, one right and one left, and four self-tapping screws to attach them to the frame.

Are the screws included, or do I need to reuse the ones I already have?

All four are included. There is no need to retrieve the hardware from the previous set.

What is the difference between JET and VPS plastics?

The JET has a compact profile and no wind deflector: it lets more air through and is the off-road and warm-weather choice. The VPS additionally has an adjustable wind deflector with two height settings, which raises the profile and provides more protection. Both fit the same mounting structures.

Do the JETs have a wind deflector?

No. In the official instructions for the JET series, the parts list includes only the plastic components and screws: the adjustable deflector is a feature of the VPS series.

What type of motorcycles are the JETs designed for?

Barkbusters describes the JET series as intended for dual-sport, enduro, and trail riding. The compact profile leaves more air around your hands, which matters more than wind protection in twisty sections and during summer.

Can I switch from JETs to VPSs on the same infrastructure?

Yes. Both series are stated to be compatible with Barkbusters aluminum guards, except for the EGO: the guard remains on the bike, and you only replace the plastic.

How many colors are there, and are they the same as the VPS?

Eight colors for the JET-003: black, blue, green, gray, orange, red, white, and yellow. The VPS range is broader and also includes single-color versions and HiViz yellow.

How much space should remain between the grip and the handguard?

Approximately 3 mm between the end of the grip and the handguard, so the throttle can close freely. This is an explicit warning from Barkbusters, to be checked before setting off along with the brake, clutch, and kill switch.

Are there assembly instructions for this code?

Barkbusters does not publish a PDF dedicated solely to code JET-003: the plastic components appear in the parts list of the complete JET kit instructions. The procedure, warnings, and checks are provided here on the product page, in the installation section.

Can I install them if I have an aftermarket handlebar?

The plastic guards attach to the frame, not the handlebar: what matters is that the frame is a Barkbusters frame, not the EGO one. The handlebar determines the choice of frame, not the choice of plastic guards.
