Where you using a stock bar? If you check out this post, the author mentions fitment problems with the Hebo bar and the Acerbis Rally Pro.

I have busted several sets of Acerbis Rally handguards. They rotate way to easy and plastic and cold weather riding don't mix.

Protection vs. weight was never an issue with me, but I'm thinking a set of plastic guards might be better on the EC300 for the slower trail riding I do. I know polisport makes something, and there's the Acerbis Rally Pro, but I'm not sure which brackets I'd use for the stock bars.

Get a set of the BONZ mounts with the EE/Moose guards and the Moose shields to go with your new ProTect bar mount. Nice clean setup. Even if your just doing slow trail riding you want the full handguards to protect the levers and master cylinders from damage from those times when you fall. I vote for Pivot Pegs by the way for your new scoot. Love mine.

Skidad,

Do the pivot pegs make shifting any eaiser with larger/stiffer boots? My new SG10s are very nice, comfy, and appear to offer great protection. They are just a little bigger in overall dimmensions than my Tech 6s and ARC 220s and I may have to do some shifter adjustment(tweaking) to feel natural. One spline up is too high. Maybe after a couple rides things will change. I used to run lowboy Fastways on my '03, but I noticed a definate increase in hits on the rocks so I left the '07 stock.

It's not going to change. I have the SG-10's too and my shifter is too high, but I can't get my boot under it if I move it down a spline.

Since the stock shifter is so short and the shift tip is so flimsy, I'm counting on Hammerhead coming out with the shifter this month.

I would say yes it will help some but may not solve your problem completely. They allow the foot to more easily articulate on that front edge of the peg which can help some. I was not aware the Pivot Pegs has a low position option, I just put mine on the way they came. I'll need to check on that. The SG10 was SO much bigger a boot between the size 10 and 11 (which I needed) that I wouldn't buy it. My foot looked huge and it really bugged me. Very happy so far with my Six Six One Flight boots in size 11. I'll bet you have an 11 or bigger SG10 boot.

My boots are size 8 and I can't get them under the shifter in the prefered level.

Mine are size 9. I may even have been able to fit in size 8s. I wear 8 1/2 sneakers and the place I ordered them from said go with the 9, feels a hair big but OK with heavy socks though. The toe of the boot is just taller. I think a little heating and tweaking the shifter up about 10mm will work, that was an old Jim Cook trick. I have an extra shifter to try it on.

How did the tweeking on your shifter go Glen? My SG10's size 9 are hard to upshift too. Bob.

I'm a size nine, Tech 7s. I bent my shifter up quite a bit and it helped a little with upshift. I think the longer shifter would be a better solution because at some point in bending you end up having to lift your foot way up for downshifting. The longer lever will give added room without raising the "resting" position too high for comfortable downshifts. I have an extra shifter and I'm going to try welding in an extension to see how that works.

There are posts here with bigfoot people who are very pleased with the Hammerhead shifter.
