Barkbusters Hand Guards | Firestorm Motorcycles
Barkbusters is well known for motorcycle hand protection, especially for riders who spend time on dirt bikes, adventure bikes, trail bikes and touring setups where the bars, levers and hands are exposed to impacts. The Firestorm Barkbusters range is centred around handguards, replacement plastics, bar end accessories and mounting-related parts, making it highly relevant for riders wanting practical protection rather than cosmetic add-ons alone.
At Firestorm Motorcycles, we have a great range of Barkbusters motorcycle hand guards, with products suited to off-road riding, adventure touring, dual-sport use and general motorcycle protection. Riders browsing this range are often trying to protect levers, reduce hand impacts from branches or debris, replace damaged handguard plastics, or improve comfort in rough riding conditions.
The Firestorm range includes Barkbusters Ego handguards, plastic covers, carbon guards, bar end plugs and bar end weights. These products are especially useful for riders who want to protect the control area of the bike while keeping the handlebar setup clean, functional and suitable for real riding conditions.

- Useful for protecting levers, hands, grips and bar ends from impacts and trail debris.
- Replacement plastics and accessories make it easier to refresh worn or damaged setups.
- Practical upgrade path for riders moving beyond basic open-style plastic guards.
- Well suited to Australian riding conditions where scrub, rocks, falls and transport wear are common.
Barkbusters Motorcycle Handguards
Barkbusters handguards are most relevant for riders who want added protection around the handlebar area. In off-road and adventure riding, the hands and controls are exposed to branches, rocks, roost, weather and crash damage. A good handguard setup can help protect the rider’s hands while also reducing the chance of a broken lever ending the ride early.
Riders comparing motorcycle handguards are usually weighing up bar fitment, mounting style, lever clearance, plastic coverage and how the guard will work with the bike’s existing controls. Barkbusters is especially relevant when the rider wants a stronger, more purposeful setup for regular trail, enduro, adventure or dual-sport use.
For dirt riders, handguards are often one of the first protection upgrades fitted after levers, grips and tyres. For adventure riders, they can be just as important for wind deflection, weather protection and long-distance comfort, especially when riding in mixed conditions across sealed and unsealed roads.
Bar End Accessories, Covers and Replacement Parts
The Firestorm Barkbusters range also includes bar end plugs, external bar end weights, replacement plastic covers and carbon guard options. These supporting parts are useful when refreshing an existing handguard setup, replacing crash-damaged plastics or fine-tuning the feel and finish of the handlebar area.
Bar end parts sit closely alongside the broader handlebars, grips and controls category, where riders often consider grips, levers, throttle tubes, handlebar ends and mounting hardware together. From a practical workshop point of view, it makes sense to inspect the whole control area when changing handguards, especially if the bike has been dropped or the bars have taken a knock.
Choosing Barkbusters by Riding Style
| Riding Style | Common Barkbusters Use | What Riders Should Check |
|---|---|---|
| Trail and Enduro Riding | Handguards for scrub, branch impacts, roost and lever protection | Bar diameter, lever clearance, throttle movement, brake hose routing and plastics coverage |
| Adventure and Dual-Sport Riding | Hand protection for mixed road, gravel and touring conditions | Wind coverage, weather protection, handlebar space and compatibility with accessories |
| Motocross and Off-Road Practice | Light impact protection and control-area protection during regular riding | Guard shape, weight, mounting style and whether the setup suits track or bush use |
| Replacement and Repair | Plastic covers, bar end plugs, weights and supporting parts | Existing guard model, colour, mounting hardware condition and crash damage |
Fitment, Installation and Setup Considerations
Barkbusters products need to be matched carefully to the motorcycle and handlebar setup. Bar diameter, inner bar end size, lever length, throttle tube clearance and switchblock position can all affect fitment. This is especially important on bikes with tapered bars, aftermarket handlebars, bar risers or modified control layouts.
During installation, the throttle should snap back freely and the brake and clutch levers should move without touching the handguard. Mounting bolts should be tightened evenly, and the guard should sit in a position that protects the hands without restricting control movement. After the first ride, it is worth re-checking the fasteners, particularly after rough trail use or any fall.
Handguards also work best when considered alongside supporting rider gear. Off-road riders often pair strong hand protection with dirt bike gloves, body protection and suitable boots, while adventure riders may consider gloves, jackets and luggage setup together for longer days on the bike.
Supporting Protection for Real Riding Conditions
Barkbusters products are often part of a broader protection setup rather than a standalone accessory. A rider fitting handguards may also inspect levers, grips, handlebars, mirrors, cables and brake lines at the same time. If the bike is used in tight bush, rocky tracks or regular adventure riding, protecting the control area can save time, money and frustration over the long term.
For riders building a tougher setup, related protective parts such as crash bars and knobs, frame guards, radiator guards and engine guards may also be worth considering depending on the bike and riding style. The goal is not to overload the bike with accessories, but to protect the areas most likely to suffer damage in normal use.
