FUNNY enough,As everyone knows, U.K. has left the EU, I am posting a link to an article from the BBC News website today which outlines just one of the ways this will be affecting us in U.K.
EU firms refuse UK deliveries over Brexit tax changes
Some EU specialist firms stop delivering to the UK because of tax changes that took effect on 1 January.www.bbc.co.uk
hi Synk.To explain how to install the extensions, I present a few photos and a photo of the most important dimensions of the cover.
Like the metal guards, do you know where they are from.
Hi Rob, interesting, wonder why, didn't think there was a difference between the z and ze that would mean they are different. External fit looks better and probably adds a bit more protection I guess although probably adds another couple of inches in width not that it matters I guess.hi yes,
there these

Have you used different bolts, see the fixing down at the handlebars is with a countersunk bolt but as I have a spacer like in your photo the bolts that come with it look like they will be too short.yes,
i prefer the fit on the gen 2 2014 ones where it comes around and fits outside the bar end, it gives better protection looks wise the gen 1 version is showing the bar end different,
i wounder why the gen 2 will not fit a gen 1
rob
that picture of the handguard with protector on with green top extender is not my bike its of facebookHave you used different bolts, see the fixing down at the handlebars is with a countersunk bolt but as I have a spacer like in your photo the bolts that come with it look like they will be too short.
Oops, defo the wrong colour sorry Rob.that picture of the handguard with protector on with green top extender is not my bike its of facebook
rob
no worries i put the picture up on here as it had that green handguard extender on it, i saw it on facebook, then you asked about the metal hanguard i new it was hepco never gave them a thought but started looking and would like a set but don,t like how the gen 1 fit compare to there gen 2 ones.Oops, defo the wrong colour sorry Rob.
Can't see why the gen 1 won't fit the gen 2 unless the bars are a different rise and width that's all I can think of. My bikes a gen 2 will have to count my pennies and see if I can get some, do look good, look better on a moving bike haven't had my s10 out in ages, been on the blood bike but holding that off as the jump in numbers is making me nervous.no worries i put the picture up on here as it had that green handguard extender on it, i saw it on facebook, then you asked about the metal hanguard i new it was hepco never gave them a thought but started looking and would like a set but don,t like how the gen 1 fit compare to there gen 2 ones.

asked the seller of the 2 ebay ones above and he says the 2014 ones that look a better protector will not fit a 2013 bike thats why there are 2 versions.Can't see why the gen 1 won't fit the gen 2 unless the bars are a different rise and width that's all I can think of.

Ordered gen 2 also have extensions on the way from deftoner, will put up some pics when fitted.i might buy the gen 1 ones and try them, PLUS THE EXTENDED TOP GUARDS that deftoner is doing for me job done
