if your bark busters don't move you end up bending your bars

Better then my hand.
I would have to agree that leaving your bark busters loose is a preference thing. I have just the solid bar type and have hammered trees with them and only thing I can say is thank all that's holy that I had them! I keep mine tight too and never had a problem. Seems like no matter how much I do tighten them though they still move when I hit stuff sometimes. Also the one on the throttle side I do keep a bit loose due to if I tighten it too much it makes the trottle tube stuck due to the expansion screw in the bars. On my old bike I had the plastic brush guards and that's all they are good for. Going through weeds or something. I got a set of emgo<or something like that> off eBay and they actually ended up being pretty good too. They looked just like the acerbis ones with the aluminum bar through them for strength. I was going to get a set of them again for my yammi but just decided to go with the plain solid bar. I guess just for cosmetic reasons![]()
I have always set them so them move and have never smashed my hand... to each their own i guess
Here is one for you. You coming down a narly ass trail and a tree pushes your front break for you........How far to you fly?
