Anyone using Highway Dirt Bikes folding morrors and barkbusters?? Are they worth the money?

I don`t have them,went with CYCRA CRM`s instead..but if i was to do it again i`d buy the HDB ones in a heartbeat,,,,extremely well made..

I can't justify the cost, but they are sexy.

Good eye. It is indeed. I don't call it frakenmotor fer nuthin

Yes and yes. I really like the Hwy Dirt Bike stuff. Lots of coin tho.

Yah i am just trying to firgure out if i want to spend the coin or not. What did you all get from them?

I have a few of those countershafts for use here..... I've read they're not as durable as the 13 spline, what say you? I have a kicker assy I'm draggin my feet on, and I have a 13 spline in another motor that I've yet to take apart, but i'd like your input on it.

Too early to tell... I only have two riding seasons on the shaft. I used it because I had it in hand and it was in like new condition. I am "thrifty" (cheap)
Replacing a countershaft is not that big of a job once you've done it once so I wasn't too concerned about it.

hmm, you make some more? seems like somebody could sell the helk outta these things...

dont tell him CW that's private info remember

Their handguards are bulletproof. Love 'em. Well worth the minor effort they require to tap out the handlebars. They provide the tap as well. The mirrors are good as secondary mirrors but I wouldn't be comfortable with them as primary mirrors on the road. Here's a before-mirror pic -

And here's the the best after-mirror pic I could find -

I like your ram mount mirrors. What are those ???

From http://http://www.doubletakemirror.com/

There's a little bit more vibration than stock, but completely safe on the road and more importantly safe from drops! Infinite adjustability, and you can swap out other stuff on the RAM mount if you don't need 2 mirrors. Worked great for me.

Thanks
Going to look into those mirrors.

Doubletake is also in the vendors section here on ADV. I've got them on my XRL as well, and find that they do vibrate more than the stock ones, but still useful. Love the adjustability, and build quality. I scuffed up the RAM mount ball a little to help keep the arm from slipping, and have been happy ever since.

sold by this guy. he also happens to be riding the Dakar this year, so if you got some extra $,and want the mirrors, now's a good time to support his cause.

Good guy, and great rider. Follow his Dakar thread, you won't be disappointed.

he also has some Dual Sport Riding Videos. If I was going to get some Dual Sport Riding Videos, I'd get them from him

Someone was...but he stopped making them...I don't remember why now... I just went and made one and it turned out pretty good.
