Looks good on the bike as if it was a factory fit and matches my tinted screen, does the job well keeping the wind of my hands. Quick delivery from NN as usual.

Effective and inexpensive. These hand guards matched the Givi touring screen on my bike in smoked grey and look good. They are easy to fit if you have the original bar ends. Longer (heavier) after market bar ends will have to be changed. Also one of the fixing screws has an allen head, so you will need to carry an allen key in your tool kit. They do a good job of keeping cold wind off your hands and from going up your sleeves, and for me with my Givi screen they seem to smooth out the wind flow around my arms. I'm 6' 2'', slim'ish with a long body/shorter legs. The effect may be different if you are shorter/wider etc. I'm happy to recommend these hand guards

Good quality product that fits well inside the OEM handguard. Easy to install with new fittings provided (you do need a 3mm allen key for new bolt on the front fitting). Usual prompt and well communicated service from NN.

Hi, the tinted extension hand guards are fitted in place under the original hand guards supplied with my R1250GSA Rallye, they keep extra weather off my hands, and provide excellent cover for hands on bars.

Great accessory to the standard handguard. Not only does the job its design for but looks good too. Great service from NN. Fast and secure delivery. My bike and I thank you.

OK but others options exist Gary Williamson on Sep 19, 2022

Rating: 4

Apart from being very easy to fit and being effective channelling wind away from your hands I would probably not buy these again. As they are clear you see the bugs and crud that falls in between the extender and the handguard. They also offer very little hand protection out with weather. In short they are OK but I should have bought some Barkbusters.

Hand guards received in quick time. Well packaged. A small issue which was raised and Nippy Normans resolved it without any problems far more than I actually expected. Don’t think that’s happened before with a online company here in the UK for me. So it’s a big thumps up for excellent service. Thanks.

Typical Givi product cracked whilst fitting, £89 down the tubes, waste of money, admittedly some error on my part but the end bolt wasn’t even tighten up - do yourself a favour and save the money and disappointment. NN SAYS This is a first ever - offered the customer a new set.

Nearly fitted very well within the original BMW guards. Near side fitted first with no issue, on tightening the bar end bolt on the off side there was a cracking sound, removed it to find the lower part around the bar end had broke off. Refitted as not seen when fitted and clamped up ok. Looks good when fitted and time will tell how they last.

A typical Givi item Mike Denning on Feb 26, 2021

Rating: 3

This item is typical Givi! By that, I mean that it looks great and is well designed. However, Givi instructions are never great and sometimes awful! Its a simple fit so that's not a problem really. The guard cracked on fitting because the hole was positioned very slightly off centre but you can't see the crack so all is well. Not brilliant overall but it does the job well.

Easy to fit and match the curve of the existing OE well. The tint looks smart, and the handguards provide decent additional weather protection

Hand guard extenders Nick Mackean on Jan 26, 2021

Rating: 3

Well, they're certainly an improvement over the aesthetically pleasing but not particularly effective standard fitment. However, whilst the extenders do divert wind over the hands better, the design on the left bar definitely needs improvement as it is very difficult to reach the cruise control switch. A minor tweaking of the contour of the guards is needed to rectify this issue.

Bought these wind deflectors as stick hand guards are far too small to actually work against the wind. I like to ride in thinner gloves through winter and these have made a huge difference. With no wind hitting the backs of my hands and wrists I used summer gloves in 5 degrees all throughout my trip. Well pleased.

I have used these hand guards on my 2015 GSA so it was a go to product to use on the new bike. Really good fit looks good and stops the wind and rain from getting under your jacket sleeves.

These are good Tom Phillips on Mar 21, 2020

Rating: 4

I found these straightforward to fit, up to the point that I tightened bolt through the bar end and realised nothing was tightening on the extender. Fortunately, the answer was simple. A couple of months ago, I’d fitted some heavier bar-end weights, which were a little wider than the originals, and the spacer/washer supplied by Givi wasn’t needed. Without it, everything tightened up a treat. These larger covers certainly make a difference.

These hand guard extenders were easy to fit with no drilling or modification needed. They look good and fit in nicely with my tinted GiVi screen. They look like part of the bike, almost like they grew there! I'm sure they must reduce wind blast and rain on the hands but I can't quantify their performance in that regard. I'm not convinced they actually help very much and they're a bit pricey so only 3 stars,

The items looked good when unpacked. Easy to fit and looked as they belonged on the bike as standard equipment. Please note, BMW, the standard handlebars guards may look good but they don't do the job unlike the previous model. They direct rain and wind up the sleeves of my jacket. These Givi hand guards could be about an inch more on the bottom but despite this shortcoming I would recommend the Givi hand guards to any GS rider. Money well spent.

Fitted Givi handguards to new R nine T for the winter months - they're not designed to fit this bike but its easy to drill the bar end centres accordingly.
