Anybody have V-Strom handguards on a B6?

Does anyone have V-strom handguards on a 600 Bandit? If so, did you use those for a DL1000 or the DL650? Any clearance issues?

Yep me, well on a G2 1200. You need the DL650 ones as that comes with a complete fixing kit as well as the guards. They've been fitted to all the other Bandits with just minor modding, if you have a look at this thread you'll read about all the variations, part number is on there as well.

An Alternative to Rigid handguards

I have handguards on my V Strom but I just bought Snow Paws for my B1250.  A whole better idea in my opinion.  See the thread on this subject above. Like a glove for handlebars.  (Edited now) See update to "Just installed V Strom handguards...etc" above.
