Looking for some ideas here. Ktm/h/gg bikes with the start switch, kill switch, map switch room gets limited. All Mx riding so the bark buster types aren’t an option. We tend to run our levers downward so the ktm oem bolt on options aren’t ideal either. We’ve tried the acerbis x force as well as the x ultimate. Like the ultimate but it hits the master cylinder limiting coverage. Hate to just start buying more hoping they work. Does anyone have any pics of their setup’s and brands that might help? Thanks

I like the Acerbis K-Future guards.  They do bolt to the perch pivots like the OEM ones, but they have some upwards offset built into them.  They are not directly inline with the levers.  You would have to run your levers pretty low for these to be pointless or look goofy.

Same hear on Acerbis, I’d bet it would work.  Wouldn’t surprise me if my 24 Beta 300 RX doesn’t have Acerbis with Beta written all over them

Acerbis X-Future. Perfect amount of coverage, with excellent air flow. Very durable with a stylish look.

I dig this setup but they’re for Brembo. Wonder if they’d work with Braktec

K- Futures are the direct mount for Brembo. Good Luck.
