The Barkbusters Handguard Mount for Ducati Scrambler BHG-060-00-NP is a premium motorcycle-specific handguard hardware kit designed for riders who want maximum lever protection, dependable hand safety, improved touring comfort, and precise OEM-level fitment for Ducati Scrambler motorcycles. Manufactured by Barkbusters, the globally respected Australian handguard specialist, this kit is purpose-built for selected Ducati Scrambler models and provides the strong structural base required to install Barkbusters plastic shield systems such as JET, VPS, STORM, and CARBON guards. Official Barkbusters listings identify this as the BHG-060 Hardware Kit – Two Point Mount.
Unlike universal handguard brackets that often require modifications or offer weak support, the BHG-060-00-NP is engineered specifically around Ducati Scrambler OEM handlebar geometry, controls, and bar-end specifications. This gives a cleaner installation, proper brake and clutch lever clearance, better alignment, and more secure long-term performance. For riders who use their Scrambler for city riding, touring, gravel roads, or custom builds, bike-specific fitment is a major advantage.
The defining feature of this kit is its two-point full-wrap aluminium backbone system. It mounts securely at the handlebar bar-end and again near the inner control section, creating a rigid protective frame around the rider’s hands and controls. This offers significantly better protection than decorative plastic-only guards. In the event of a parking drop, tip-over, branch strike, or low-speed fall, the aluminium backbone helps reduce damage to expensive brake levers, clutch levers, throttle tube, and switchgear while also protecting hands from impact.
Constructed from heat-treated aluminium, the backbone delivers excellent strength while remaining lightweight enough to preserve natural steering feel. Compared with heavier low-grade steel alternatives, this material provides better strength-to-weight balance and dependable durability. Official retailer listings also mention bar-end weights included, which may help reduce handlebar vibration depending motorcycle setup.
Another key benefit of the Barkbusters system is modular flexibility. This SKU includes the mount hardware only, allowing riders to select separate guard plastics based on riding style and weather conditions. STORM guards are ideal for maximum wind and rain protection, VPS guards suit sporty street and ADV use, JET guards provide a slimmer minimalist look, and CARBON guards deliver a premium appearance. This lets Ducati owners build a custom setup that matches both performance needs and styling goals.
Many riders in enthusiast communities choose Barkbusters because of their reputation for stronger protection than many OEM plastic guards. Ducati owners have specifically shared Barkbusters installations on Scrambler models as worthwhile upgrades.
Installation is designed to be straightforward using supplied hardware and instructions. Professional fitting is recommended to ensure correct throttle free-play, cable routing, bar-end installation, and torque settings. Official fitting instructions are available from Barkbusters.
Whether you use your Ducati Scrambler for urban riding, weekend escapes, touring, or light adventure travel, the Barkbusters BHG-060-00-NP Handguard Mount delivers premium durability, exact fitment, and globally trusted protection.
