Has anyone tried the Hepco & Becker engine guards?

Yes, I have used them before on my first Tiger. They are the same bars that Jack Lilley market. Pretty good, but in my opinion not as good at their job as the Touratech or Thunderbike bars.

Go and have a look in the Tiger Trails album (button at the top of the page) and you will see most all of the different types.

They might be cheap compared to the Touratech or Thunderbike stuff but what's the point if they don't protect your engine?

The thunderbike do a good job of protecting the levers and tank. I speak from experience.
