The Stelvio guards will work if you take some aluminum stock and create brackets to extend the attachment point.

Did you have any clearance issues between the ends of brake & clutch levers and inside of the guards . I have no problems making inboard brackets .

I haven’t experienced clearance issues, and Bulldog didn’t as well (did the same thing).

Could someone post a photo of the hand guard setup and home made bracket?

Thanks.

See attached. It’s easy enough. Get the guards and fit them on, you’ll see how much length is needed. Chop/grind the aluminum stock to fit - I used a Dremel. I rounded mine off to get rid of sharp corners and painted them black (knowing the black would wear off the aluminum, but no big).
