Finally got out for a spin today - and to summarise the guards - I Love Em!

Keeps the cold wind off my hand's and just feel nice riding with them on. Nice and solid even though I've only fitted them top and end (whereas the Super Ten attatches top and bottom and end). 2 bolts attach each bracket on top so fixed well and no chance of twist. Nothing touches on full lock, no touching or rubbing parts

Here's some pics....









After much trial and error fitting, I would say if I started again with the supplied parts it would only take an hour. Drill and tap the bar ends as discussed on here before. drill out the brackets that connect to mirror to 13mm, take mirror stantion apart, put back together with bracket in middle (as shown in last photo) and bolt all together. They clear the choke on the left and brake reservoir on the right easily. I did unfortunately try bending and reshaping the brackets first thinking I might be able to get them to miss the brake reservoir by attaching at the bottom of the mirror but was not possible, so I have to admit even though I tried to bend them back to original shape, my brackets are not as they were originally but I've bent them to how I want the guards to fit, height and angle wise, so you may or may not have to do this - I can't remember how they were shaped when I bought them.

Nice sleek look with the Super Tenere Hand Guards...

Mine turned up today at the local Yam dealers. Part No's are:
Hand-guards - 23P-26142-00 & 23P-26142-00.
Top brackets - 23P-26224-00 & 23P-26223-00.

Any yam dealer should be able to order them now, also there are other parts such as the top hat washers for the handlebar end fixing, and various bolts if you can't be bothered finding alternatives in your bit box.
I fit mine on a 900, no problems apart from having to turn the throttle housing around so the cables exit below the handlebars now. will post pics if anyone wants them.

Just dug out my bill and regarding those hand guard numbers I think there may be an error, my numbers end 26142 and 26141, I think if you ordered the part numbers you mention you would end up with 2 right hand guards.

After some more use, I am still very happy with them, when you take your hand off the bars you realise how much wind they deflect away but they seem quite sleek and not create too much drag.

They do look gud

Rob, given that bsa had to drill and tap the bar ends and also drill the bracket, I reckon you'd prolly be able to make 'em fit with a bit of adjustment.

Well, at long last, pics as promised. I went out for a run today, and well impressed with the difference handguards make. Heated grips on low setting, just a pair of MX gloves on, and just the tip of my thumb a bit cold. Only out for a couple of hours, but the temp was dropping towards the end. Well worth the money. I dont know if the mirror stems are different on the 900, but I didn't have to drill out the brackets, they fit perfectly.
