No Factory Barkbuster
Is this why factories never offer barkbuster as an option? Keep eye on his right wrist.

Re: No Factory Barkbuster
At a certain point you just have to bail and brace for impact... be it motorsports or in my case, skiing.
When you are rotating over the bars towards the front wheel, I don't think it does any good to hold onto the grips.

Re: No Factory Barkbuster
I think I read that Cory Buttrick, the young KTM pro, injured himself the year before last after a fall and not being able to extract his hand from a barkbuster. I sure like the things-no more crushed fingers or knuckles.

Re: No Factory Barkbuster
Same here. The pros far outweigh the cons of having them. As for why they aren't factory equipment, it is probably the same reason that steering dampers and Rekluse clutches aren't either.
