FITTING INSTRUCTIONS for VPS Aluminium Backbone
Fits Tapered Handlebars
HPR.00.666.41100/WH VPS Handguard Kit White BMW G 450 X
Instruction Manual
BHG-152-00-NP
Preparation
If the handlebar grips are not open at the end they will need to be cut open for the handguard to be fitted. Use a sharp knife to cut a hole at the end of each handgrip. On the right side, the hole size should be neat and no smaller than the inside diameter of the throttle tube. Loosen the throttle assembly to move it outward about 20mm. Roll back the end of the grip and use a hacksaw to carefully cut off the end cap of the plastic throttle tube. Do not remove more than 3mm and take care not to cut the underlying handlebar. Before refitting, remove any burrs that could restrict throttle movement.
Installation for Left Side.
Repeat for the right side with applicable parts.
Loosely assemble the clamp to the handlebar as per the diagram. Attach the
handguard backbone with applicable parts to the handlebar end and also to the
clamp connector (4).
Position backbone so it is horizontal when viewed from the side and tighten
all bolts in the following order: (10), (8), (7then (6).
Note: Most handlebars will require a left connector (4) on the left side.
Magura and some other handlebars will require a right connector (5) on the
left side.
Important: Use the specified torque setting over the page.
Recommended Torque Settings
M6| 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft)
M8| 20 Nm (14.8 lb-ft)
CAUTION:
Installation of the handguard is safety-relevant work and can be complicated.
We recommend the installation be performed by a motorcycle service technician.
Rideworx accepts o liability for damages caused by improper mounting. All
screws, bolts, and nuts, including all replacement hardware provided by
Rideworx, should be tightened to the torque specified in the below table.
After the first 50km of riding check all screws, bolts, and nuts are tightened
to the correct torque. We recommend a medium-strength liquid thread lock
product on all fasteners.
WARNING:
It is important there is a working clearance (approx 3mm) between the throttle
grip end and the handguard to ensure a free closing throttle. Check operation
of all handlebar controls, specifically, the throttle, front brake, kill
switch, and clutch to ensure they are operating correctly and are in
accordance with the OEM specifications. Do not ride the motorcycle if any
controls are not operating correctly. Check periodically that all bolts are
tight.
Disclaimer:
A failure to follow these fitting instructions could cause serious injury,
death, or property damage. These handguards are intended solely for use with
motorcycles/ATVs/snowmobiles/
scooters that have not been modified. They are not designed to prevent injury
or death while riding or in an accident or crash. The user must ensure that
all controls are free of the handguards every time that they ride. By
installing and/or using this product you acknowledge that you accept these
terms and have followed the fitting instructions.

UNIVERSAL TAPERED HARDWARE
JET-or BHG-152
NOTE:
→ Requires additional 10mm spacer & bolt B-078
→ Requires handlebar to be set in the standard center position or back
position.
→ Forward handlebar position may cause interference with instruments at full
steering lock.
Without a 10mm spacer applying the brake may cause the lever to contact the
alloy backbone

The handlebar in most forward positions may cause interference at full
steering lock (not recommended) The recommendation is for the handlebar to be
in the center or rear position
NB: if the handlebar is in the center position and then “rolled” forward
it may cause handguards to touch the instruments at full steering lock
(precise handguard height & position will affect this)
