Acerbis X-Factory Hand Guards - Orange

The Acerbis X-Factory Hand Guards are primarily designed for off-road motorcycles. While they may fit some street bikes, their design and construction are optimized for the demands of off-road riding. Compatibility with street bike controls and aesthetics should be carefully considered.

They are made from high-quality plastic with a steel bar printed on its surface, and feature anticorodal armbands for handlebar fastening and a steel expander for impact resistance. The covers utilize a dual-injection process.

Standard motorcycle tools, such as Allen keys and possibly a socket set, are typically required for installation. The kit includes the necessary fitting hardware.

Clean them with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic or printed finish.

Dual-injection refers to a manufacturing process where two different materials or colors are injected into the mold simultaneously, creating a stronger, more durable, and often aesthetically enhanced part.

Replacement parts may be available from Acerbis or authorized dealers. Contact your retailer or Acerbis directly to inquire about replacement covers for your model.

The universal fit is designed for standard off-road handlebar diameters. If your handlebars are significantly thicker than standard, check the expander range or consult the product specifications for compatibility.

Slightly loosen the handlebar clamps and adjust the position of the hand guard mounting arms. Ensure the expanders are correctly seated. If interference persists, consider alternative mounting positions or consult the manual for specific adjustment tips.

Check that all bolts and expanders are tightened correctly. Ensure the steel expander is properly inserted and engaged within the handlebar. Re-tighten all fasteners, being careful not to strip threads.

This may indicate overtightening during installation or significant impact. Inspect the underlying steel structure for damage. If only the plastic is damaged, replacement covers may be available. Ensure future installations are not overtightened.

The universal fitment may require minor modifications or adapter brackets for very large or unusually placed controls. Assess the space and consider if repositioning controls or using a different mounting strategy is feasible.
