Pyramid Handguard Extensions - Yamaha Tracer 900 18-20 Pyramid handguard extensions have been designed specifically... Handguard extensions work great at deflecting cold air. I made my own last week and took a ride with temps in the low 40's F and didn't need to turn on my heated grips. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel5 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I have made my own basically thin piece of plastic that uses 2 screws inside original hand guards, crucially they extend above and BELOW original guard as I find windblast freezes my thumbs! Not pretty but I only use in the winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not pretty but I only use in the winter. Exactly. Mine do the same. I think blocking air from below might be MORE important than blocking air from over the top. 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillEmAll4u Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I bought that exact kind from pyramid plastics for my bike. Because I am 5'11 I had to angle down the controls for ergonomics so I needed that extension on the top to stop the wind from hitting my hands. They fit perfectly and look good and do the job intended. A bit pricey for some plastic but they work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdavis Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I fitted KTM hand guards to mine. Larger and easy fit. https://aomc.mx/6030217910030.html 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 1moreroad Posted October 23, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted October 23, 2020 Givis work well and I think they match the lines of the bike. They don't interfere with the giant Givi windscreen either. Givi handguards at Revzilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Fandango Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I have a pair of the Pyramid Plastics ones in a box somewhere. I didn't like how they mounted inside the existing guards. They take up too much room, my knuckles were bumping into them. How do the Givis mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They extend a little below the bottom of the stock handguard and have a lip across the top. EDIT Another picture from the side to show wrap around and height of the Givis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using the stock hand guards they are about one step above worthless for blocking wind. They are too far away from your hands and oddly shaped, they allow a lot of air to hit your hands. After buying the bike, the hand guards lasted about a week. 👎 2 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hand guards and passenger foot pegs came off to counter the added weight. 1 Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the streamlined look without them installed. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
