I have seen alot of you TYers with these hand guards, so i bought a pair for my 2000 SRX, but i don't seem to have any room to install as per instructions, can anybody post some picks on where to install, do i have to move the throttle and brake to install(i hope not)........Reaper
I had to cheat the brake and the throttle a little to get the brakets on...then slide them back tight..

Ok, i will try, i should be ok on the brake side because i will be adding hook and longer brake lever and with the new 2" riser this will give the the brake line a little more slack, but i am also adding hook on throttle side and was concerned about not be able to fully reach it, now if i cheat it back some to fit handguard bracket it will be even futher away, can i get a longer throttle lever that will fit my SRX, is the Viper's longer and would it fit,........HELP................Reaper

I think i have solved my problem, looks like if i drill out rivet holding grip, move grip down enough to install handguard,drill new hole, put new rivet, trim off excess off grip, this should work because i am also installing hook at this side and was going to shave down the tapered end so a little trim off the end should hurt......right?.............Reaper
sure, just be careful not to cut the heating surface of the grip or they will be shot....no more warm hands

Actually did not trim off excess just pull it over the hook, i cut out hole smaller than hook so it's a tight fit, looks good, will post pic later..........Reaper
