What does every one think of them? Are they a wast of money and how much abuse can they take? Going to put an 8" rise on my sled.
I had a set of BRP guards on my sled, on the way up to the cabin, they were great. Second stuck rolled her out ( bottomless powder mind you) got the dirty side down and noticed that my handguard was broken. So $80.00 for about an hours ride. THey'd be all right if you plan on sticking to trails. This was 2 seasons ago, maybe they are building them stronger now. I've heard that the 'Skinz' handguards aren't too bad though. My .02 worth
I bought a pair of the skinz pro series carbon fibre soft handguards, they had great coverage and were easily removable for when you got into the alpine and didn't need them anymore. I would forget to take them off and ended up tearing the velcro off the ends, then I used push darts to hold them on the ends of the bars. they have been sitting in my shed for the last 3 seasons. just one more thing to pack around on the mountain....
last year saw a guy riding a rt 1000 , had a lefty on it , he cut through some tight tree's , caught his hand gaurd and bent it , pulled the cable to WOT , he jumped and let sled go , felt so bad for him couldn't even bring myself to take some pic's , but did help him tie his ski back on , fyi
