4/5

I think I can reduce the vibration.

When I am riding DL1000 V-STROM250, because my hand was numb every SA when cruising on the expressway, I came to purchase because I found this product while I did a lot of research!

I think the packaging was fine.
I got a beautiful one.

I chose the Type of VALG-S-16, I think it was Exactly!

The product comes with a detailed Instruction Manual and other information, so beginners should have no problem.
The DL1000 V-STROM250 has a habit of leaving Nut inside the Bar End when removing it, so please check before removing it.

What I personally found to be a problem was the tightening Torque.
The Instruction Manual says to tighten the M8 bolt to 25Nm, but I didn't have a tool on hand that could tighten it to 25Nm Torque.

I didn't know about the tightening torque until I read the instruction manual.
I couldn't be bothered to buy a new Torque wrench for this, so I had no choice but to do it by hand Torque!

If possible, I would have liked to see the required tools listed somewhere in advance!

I don't have any concerns about the appearance of the product.

Although I was wearing Inner Gloves, the performance of the bike was very good, and I was able to do my annual touring to Venus Line. (About 200 km one way) And the numbness is only slightly felt.
I've had enough change to recover quickly after a break.
It's pretty dramatic, and I think the longer the distance, the better the performance will be.

In the first place, Lever Guard itself is very expensive, but if Lever Guard + vibration reduction for this amount of gold, the cost is relatively good, isn't it? I feel that

I'm generally satisfied.

I can't say anything about it as I haven't tightened it to the prescribed Torque, but I am concerned that the Lever might drop with a little vibration or contact.
To be honest, I'm not convinced, but I'm not sure if I want to buy the Torque wrench. View detail

4/5

The vibration is reduced and made easier.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None. It was as expected.
The texture is good, and when tightened with the prescribed torque, it stays in place.
It doesn't freak out when you put a little pressure on it.
I like it because it also acts as a vibration reducer and guard.

Do you have any wishes or improvements you would like to make for the Manufacturer?
It's very nice to have a choice of fine handlebar diameters, but
The Anodized product was discontinued at the time of ordering, so
It would have been nice to have more choice.

Also, the texture is nice, but I couldn't help but think about the price for a bar.
I think the parts will give you gold for the pleasure and satisfaction you get from wearing them.
I'm very aware that the cost of parts or just things should not be compared to the selling price, but I'd like to see a lower price.

[Do you have any products to compare it to?
I compared it to Zita's Guards.
Zita can wear a Knuckle guard, but
I didn't buy it because it wasn't about reducing vibration.

What made you decide to buy?
The main reason for this is that it reduces vibration.
It reduces vibration, acts as a guard, and is
In addition, I was able to install the option Knuckle guard, so I chose this one.

How was your experience with it?
The vibrations haven't completely disappeared, but
It's lessened than not having anything on.
If you touch the tip while driving, it's quite shaky.
The strength has been fine so far.

Was the installation difficult?
It is not difficult if you follow the Instruction Manual.

【Please tell me the installation point and hang】
If you follow the instruction manual, anyone who can use the tool should be able to do it, but
If you don't put the adapter into the Handlebar and fix it tightly to prevent it from shifting
Even if it is fixed with the prescribed torque, it can easily move when force is applied.
In this state, it cannot be said that the Handlebar Guard is doing its job of absorbing vibration and
Be aware that it may come loose and fall off while driving.
If you can fix it correctly, it won't freak out even if you apply a little force.
If it seems to move immediately after installation, you should check it and redo it.

[Was the Instruction Manual easy to understand?
It was easy to understand because it was written in diagrams.
The order in which it is inserted is also written, so you can do it without making any mistakes.
I don't understand it if it's written in a long list of explanations, so this is helpful.

[Included Parts:were they on?
Of course, there were no missing items.
I would like to see a few more spare Spacers added to the list.

[Others]
I personally think it's a very good product.
It would be even better if the price was around 5,000 yen.

There is an Option Knuckle guard, but
I did not buy it because it did not have a good rating.

I had a Knuckle guard from Zita that I had previously purchased that I don't use now.
I installed it with the L-shaped bracket I purchased at Home Center.

I widened the holes in the Bracket a bit and it was installed perfectly.
I believe other manufacturer's Knuckle guards can be machined and installed as well.

We also had a vibration-absorbing Grip installed before this product.
The vibration is reduced compared to the Grip alone, so please refer to your impressions. View detail

Vibration Absorption Slim Type Lever Guard for M6 Bolt Handlebar End

3/5

Short lever assumption

This is the fourth of OUTEX's Items, which are difficult to evaluate on ManiacBrand! It is Until now, the Adjustable Footpeg, Stem Stabilizer, and I added RACINGFunnel The first two are ◎ and Funnel is × And this time, I think it's about zero
As usual, the product arrived in an extremely simple, unimpressive package, and the only thing you need is a It's in there properly Hopefully, I'll still be able to see the Manual easily It is a little clearer picture because it is written about "How to do Setting" or Maniac things and make the letters LARGE (old people can't read it!) I wish I had one I'm sure it will soon become a piece of paper
It's also a bundle of know-how; the Bar End decorations come from a variety of sources But this is not the same as the Bar End and the Hand guard as a protector, or the The function of reducing the vibration of the Handlebar & times;3, which is typical of OUTEX's products It is So I didn't hesitate to go with this one It's not a decoration, it's a function!
When you install it, there are too many Parts like Washer and Collar that stop in the coax To make sure you don't get into trouble, you have to put them through the Bolt in order beforehand so that they don't fall out of the Rubber Band There is That's kind However, remove that Rubber Band and check the order and Bar End and Hand The guardBody is passed through and then it is installed in the Handlebar Because it is a single Screw stopper, the angle of rotation should be adjusted accordingly It is relatively easy to install
So, I'd say this was a poor assumption on our part, but the opening of the Hand guard If you don't use short lever, you can't put it inside the hand guard because it is not so large Lever does not fit We have a splendid (very good operation feeling) touring type of Mr. U-KANAYA Since it is changed to Lever, it interferes perfectly Therefore, I have no choice but to off-set it so that the Hand guard comes under Lever as shown in the picture There was no Parenthesis bad But, well, in case of contact or falling down, it reduces the Risk that Lever breaks to some extent will do
And the key is vibration absorption The effect is there! Originally, the groms don't vibrate in the Handlebar as much (rather, they vibrate in the footpeg) So I didn't hate it so much, but it obviously reduced the vibration It hasn't disappeared Perhaps, depending on the settings (there are additional weights and such), you can make the vibration more Maybe you can turn it off I used to drive a KTM 640SMC (before it became a 690), but that LC4 Engine has a pretty excruciating vibration in the Handlebar The effect of adding this Vibration Absorption Lever Guard to SMC In the video, you can see that the vibration is reduced to the point where you can see it with your own eyes In the case of the Grom, the hard vibration that comes out when you rotate it is reduced rather than the vibration that comes out of it is reduced I feel like my hands are less likely to go numb
I think the quality of the product is high The GuardBody of the round bar is not so good parenthesis, but it is This product is highly recommended for those who pursue function rather than looks, and it's three birds with one stone It is
I think I'll change to the short lever But it's a waste of time and the U-KANAYA Lever is very good! View detail
