I know several people have fit the 650gs handguards to the cs, I am curious though if anyone has tried any of the aftermarket handguards that are out there. I havent had any luck finding anything labeled for use on the CS. Specifically I am looking at the Barkbusters and curious if anyone has used them or others? I am mainly looking for wind protection to extend my season. Any input as to what else has been done would be great! THanks

I just recently put on the F650GS handguards for the same purpose and they definitely cut down on the wind and with the heated grips my hands don't get that cold. I got a used pair from a guy in the chain gang and I cleaned them up and painted them because they were all scratched up. You can get them for just over $100 new from a BMW dealer. They went on pretty easily. I just had to replace a tie wrap holding wires on the right side so I could easily get the handguard on there.

I also just picked up a CEE-Bailey +7.5 windshield and put that on with Brian's adjuster brackets. I did that last night and will be heading to work shortly so I will see how that works out to cut the wind in my face.

look in the faq: i am running Suz*k* handguards on the cs which are better for cold weather

does Suz*k* only make one size of hand guards or are there different types?? What kind did you get that fit ? any tips?

what type of Suz*k* handguards? I tried to find it in the faq, no real luck, got any pics? Thanks

I have read the FAQs and I still have a question. Santa, who apparently doesn't understand the inner workings of the CS, brought me a pair of Barkbusters handguards. Now we all know that they don't make them for the CS so Santa got them for the GS. Has anybody out there modified the Barkbusters to fit the CS? Santa has a full machine shop at his disposal and is willing to mill a few pieces if need be.
The biggest problem we are facing is the fact that if he remakes a set of bar end weights to hold the larger screw, the larger diameter screw would ruin the handlebars themselves possibly screwing up my heated grips.
Why do I have the funny feeling that they will have to be sent back to get the other handguards?

I vote for F650GS handguards, have installed these twice on our Scarvers and they are really very easy to install.
If you buy something designed for F650GS (sigle cylinder), then you should be able to install without mods. My both Scarvers have heated grips.
