It does not replace the stock handguard: it fits around it and adds what it lacks on its own, namely an aluminum bar that runs in front of the levers and withstands impacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-treated aluminum bars with black powder coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo-point\u003c\/strong\u003e mounting: inside the handlebar end and on a clamp that grips the tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits around the original Ducati handguard and controls, with no permanent modifications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlebar weights included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficial instructions with illustrated parts list and tightening torques.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProtection and use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Ducati handguard is aerodynamic plastic: it protects against the wind, not impacts. Barkbusters clearly distinguishes between the two mounting configurations, and the \u003cem\u003etwo-point\u003c\/em\u003e configuration - anchored both at the end and at the center of the handlebar - is the one the manufacturer specifies for impact protection. It is the choice for riders who use the Multistrada 1200 on narrow roads, hard-packed dirt tracks, and long rides, where a branch or a low-speed fall can hit the brake or clutch lever directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat-treated aluminum bars (manufacturer replacement part code BAR-LG13), one right and one left, with \u003cstrong\u003eblack powder coating\u003c\/strong\u003e.
