I like these handguards. Since I broke mine and Ducati's are essentially worthless when it comes to providing any real protection, I'm wanting to put these on. However, SW-Motech doesn't list any for the Hyper's. How hard can it be, two attachment points so I really don't know why it wouldn't work. Has anyone put them on a Hyper and if so which model?

Interested to hear how these end up working out.

I've always like the DP option, but as with everything DP...kinda spendy.

Star.Ace is in the process of making a line of hand guards. They are said to be indestructable and customizable. None have been made yet(from what i have seen). They will have the option to come with turnsignals i believe

I've been in contact with Guiseppe Starace. I like his as well and currently have his airbox on order. I just keep gravitating back to the Kobra. The angles and look is fantastic. I'm going to make a DIY thread once I get them. They will work, I will make them! lol

Still on the list of things to do. I will hopefully get them on today and post some pics up. It appears they will with no modifications.

Any update? Let's see some pics! Are the turn signals LED?

Thanks for the reminder. Why yes I have. It was a direct bolt up application no modification other than having to add some female bullet connectors to the stock turn signal wires. I used Rizoma bar ends (if I recall correctly) and had to order longer screws to use the brass OEM inserts. LED turn signals work resistors were already installed by Ducati on mine. I have a dozen of those screws so if anyone needs a couple hit me up and I'll send them to you.

Thanks! I'm going to scuff them up and repaint. My buddy pointed out that they look too "plasticy."

Rebelmotard bro, can you tell us which Kobra model number you bought or post a link? And you needed longer bolts to put them in your bars or was that only because of the bar-ends?
