Default Installing Acerbis Multi concept Handguards

Is there any mods that need to be done prior to installing? I am trying but running into problems with the throttle cables and the brake lever rubbing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug

On my Vee I installed Acerbis MultiConcept handguards on Maier ATV Woods Pro aluminum barkbusters. No problems.

Default Some differences

Thanks for the pics. I see some differences, not sure how much the affect things.

You have a 1000, and looks like you extended your throttle cables, and your brackets are different than mine. The shell is the same.

I will try to use the pics and see if that helps.

Thanks again!

Throttle cables and hydraulic lines for the brake and clutch are all stock. I'm also using MSR Dominator ATV high bend aluminum bars.

I have the Acerbis Multi Concept on my 650 with the acerbis brackets. I had to move a few things around a bit, but did not cut or alter anything. I can send pics if youd like.

Hiya guys,

I'm new here and so is my DL1000 experiance. The previous owner had protaper bars (seven/eights) fitted along with Acerbis Multyconcept hand guards. It looks like in case of a fall the Acerbis mounts mounts could rotate taking out the Clutch/Break lines. This can also bee seen on th epic above.

Is there any experiance on that or am I just imagining BS.

thanks & Cheers

You might have to rotate/move cables and controls a bit to make everything fit.
