I was looking at the cyra handguards (http://www.ktm-parts.com/U6810115.html) but a friend did not recommend that kind that is locked to two places on the handlebar. He knows a couple of people that has broken their hands when they crashed and went over the handlebars.
So witch one do you recommend? :?:

Glenbro...
depends on the type of rideing you do.... personally I prefer the double fixed type of bushbar for the better protection afforded when riding through trees and or falling on the ground. Very hard to get your fingers trapped with the cycra style of fittment, just hang onto the bars as you go down (within reason obviously) pulling in the clutch, blipping the throttle, pick it up and go again with no bent/broken levers or skinned pinky's. I have heard the rumors of broken arms from bush bars but have never met anyone thats done it (I do lead a shelterd life tho).
I do know of people that have broken arms/legs from walking down a footpath, but that dont stop the rest of us from walking down said footpath.
Anyone else with experiance/ personal preferance?
