I looked at the FIM rules on-line....
"If handguards are used, they must be of a shatter-resistant material and have a permanent opening for the hand".
Looks to me that all "bark-buster" type handguards are outlaw-ed because, in the case of a crash, they trap the hand inside the guard. I have a friend who won't run them because he broke his wrist because he went over the bars and his hands were trapped inside the guard...
