Scrambler Street Scrambler - Barkbusters Handguards

Hi, thanks for posting this as have been wondering why Triumph don’t do them for the SS. I had handguards on my Tiger 800 which certainly made a difference and although I’ve got heated grips on my SS it’s the outside of the hands that get the chill.

 

Hi Garethr, thanks for the information. I want to mount handguards to my 2018 Street Scrambler but cannot get the sizing correct. I know the stock handlebars of 7/8" at the end, but the increase in thickness near the center, and I have seen people suggest that I should be the 1-1/8" kit to fit. Do you know the exact kit to buy? Or perhaps a link from a site like revzilla.com? It would be much appreciated. Thank you!

 

Gareth, thanks for getting back to me! Needless to say I figured it out shortly after posting.

 

Garethr, thanks for this info! Following this I mounted some Barkbusters Storm handguards today on my 2017 Street Scrambler. I love the look and the install went smoothly.

Just wanted to note for others' sake that I did have to loosen up the control mounts for the clutch and brake levers just to move them out of the way to be able to tighten the middle bolts on the inner handguard mounts properly.

About to try them out on a ride and head to the hardware store to pickup those M6x25mm bolts.

Here's a few pics of the results and mounting arrangements on either side.

 

I installed these on my bike too. Here’s the pictures. $130 USD for the kit. Fairly straightforward install.

Barkbuster Storm.

 

I fitted these onto my Street Scrambler 900. They are for the Triumph Tiger 900 Rally. The fitting points are the bar ends and from the wing mirror fitting point.

 

I've had Barkbusters on my dirtbike since I bought it. Not really noticed the wind protection but they've taken some serious hits and despite some scratched plastics they're tough as old boots.

what do you think about "old" POLISPORT ADVENTUR3?

they seems great, you can use opened (prefer opened) or closed, with same kit.

Hey Dave, can you post a link to purchase these exact ones please. I have the same Street Scrambler as you, but not enough handlebar real estate for the BarkBusters at the top of the page as I have mounts for gopro, phone, and a lidlok on my handlebar. I like the mirror mount a lot.
Edited to add, I see you are in the UK. I assume this is a Triumph genuine part, so can you give me the part number also please, and I can see if I can get them from my dealer

 

Hello PinkBritFit. I bought mine from the Triumph main dealer. Just asked for the parts that are on the Tiger Rally 900 (Not the Pro as these are different). Easy to fit. You have to do two modifications. The first will be to unscrew the bar end caps on the handle bar ends and drill out the hole to a larger diameter.So it can fit over the threaded end cap that are already there. Then put the bar end cap back on. You now have a flat surface fit for the guard to be screwed up against. The second modification is on the right hand side. You have your front brake cup mounted on a bracket also from the Mirror point. You will need to trim off part of the new guard arm plastic edge to make it flat. This allows you to leave everything as it is and bolt it up under the mirror bolt. This will take you to do both small modifications no more than 15-20 minutes as you put them onto the Scrambler. Any issues please ask. Dave

 

Thank you so much! They look great!, will be getting in touch with my dealer soon

 

No problem, you are welcome. They make a difference to the bike.
