The problem with those all plastic ones is that the plastic is not strong enough. I had them and they lasted about a year. All it take is one good impact and the plastic will break. I have the aluminum bar with plastic attachment kind now and they have taken a lot of impacts.
They are way better than no guards, but you will be replacing them. Well unless you never drop your bike.
I am not a fan of the bar end type hand guards. I do not like the closed in feeling on the end of the bars. I currently do not have any hand guards on the scooter, but will add some before the riding season hits. Have not made up my mind yet on a set.

I'm getting ready to buy some brush guards after a little tree tried to kill me by hitting the front brake. Timing on this thread could not have been better!
Yeah I hear you, but I am "Red Sticker" and only have a limited ride area range. I want to hit KM, but do not have the room to steel a day or two off work to get up there, so I need to wait.Dude we are in Southern California. It's always riding season. If it's hot head for the mountains. If it's cold the desert. If it's in between choose either.
I just got back from KM and my hands would be broken if it were not for my bark busters. Yes on this trip they did do a little bark busting. Getting you hand between the bars and a pine tree is not a good thing. Out in the desert they are not so mandatory. Creosote bushes may hurt but they are not going to crush your hands.
I have the cheapo Tusk Rocky Mountain house brand. They could be designed better, but so far they have not broken.
I always thought that however once I started riding mine I got use to it...
