Favourite handguards?

Tell me about your chosen handguards if not standard. Am looking at Puig. Am thinking a bit more protection from wet and cold maybe. 

I have no issue with the standard handguards - the styling suits the bike, but when I thought that the protection was a tad lacking I went with Givi EH2139 Handguard Extensions and could not be more pleased. They look work great and don't spoil the aesthetics at all, IMO.

The KTM guards work well... but I switched to Barkbusters Storm single-point mount (bar end) last year. Better weather protection and way easier to fit on the bike. Barkbusters sells two or three different plastic guard types/sizes that fit the spine. For early spring and late fall... I fit OBR ADV mitts over the guards.

Do they shake much on the move, being single point mounted?

Rock solid... it's a 10mm (3/8") thick aluminum spine. I use an adapter/reducer that screws into the bar in place of the OE bar end.
