KOONDHEEND Motorcycle Handguards for Harley (1996–2020) — Smoke-Tint Polycarbonate, UV‑Stable

KOONDHEEND Motorcycle Handguards are smoke-tinted, aerospace-grade polycarbonate shields that attach to Harley handlebars to block road debris, cut wind fatigue and give a stealth look.

These handguards were engineered to fit a wide range of Harley-Davidson models from the mid‑1990s through recent years, using a versatile adapter bracket system that simplifies installation. Built from reinforced polycarbonate with UV inhibitors and a gloss smoke tint, they blend protection and styling while preserving control and sightlines. Read on to see how they mount, what they protect against, and whether they match your bike.

Which Harley models do these handguards fit?

The KOONDHEEND kit supports many Harley models across Touring, Softail, Dyna and Sportster ranges, but compatibility varies by year, clutch type and turn-signal location. Always confirm your specific model and handlebar hardware before ordering to avoid fitment issues.

• Compatible: Road Glide (2015–2023), Street Glide (2014–2020), Electra Glide (2014–2020)
• Supported frames: Dyna (1996–2017), Softail (1996–2024), Road King (1996–2020)
• Sportster coverage: many models (1996–2022) — verify Sportster S and Nightster exclusions
• Not compatible: Road King 2008–2016, Sportster S/Nightster, Road Glide 2024+ without confirmation

How do these handguards attach and what hardware is included?

Installation uses a universal adapter bracket system that replaces older MEB7217 and MEB7215 fittings. The kit supplies multiple bracket sizes so you can choose the closest match for your handlebar diameter and mounting point, minimizing drilling or modification.

• Five bracket sizes provided: two 39mm, 71mm, 50mm and 30mm options
• Designed for direct bolting to common Harley mounting locations
• No permanent handlebar cutting required for most installs
• Instructions and hardware included for a straightforward fit

What protection and durability do these guards deliver?

Made from aerospace-grade polycarbonate that’s about 30% stronger than standard PC, the guards deflect stones, bugs and water while reducing wind blast at the hands. Advanced UV inhibitors and reinforced construction resist yellowing and cracking over time.

• Material: reinforced polycarbonate for impact resistance
• Smoke-tinted gloss finish preserves visibility with 85% light transmission
• Reduces wind fatigue substantially for longer rides
• UV-stable coating prevents discoloration and surface degradation

Will these change my controls, visibility or style?

The smoke tint delivers a stealth, cohesive look while maintaining clear sightlines due to high light transmission. The guards are contoured to sit behind mirrors and switches on most Harleys, minimizing interference with levers, grips and indicators.

• 85% light transmission keeps cockpit visibility intact
• Low-profile contouring reduces snag points near switches and mirrors
• Gloss smoke finish complements blacked-out or chrome trim
• Installation choices let you position guards for rider preference

Who is this for? Riders who own compatible Harley-Davidson Touring, Softail, Dyna or Sportster models and want a proven balance of wind and debris protection with a low-key, smoke-tinted appearance. This kit particularly benefits commuters, long-distance riders and anyone who wants easier installation via an adaptable bracket system. If your bike falls into the specified fitment range and you want to preserve control and sightlines while upgrading cockpit protection and style, this KOONDHEEND handguard kit is a practical choice.

Note: verify your exact Harley model year, clutch type and turn-signal location before purchase. KOONDHEEND provides a two-year warranty and customer support for installation or fitment questions.
