The Barkbusters Handguard Mount for Triumph Tiger 900 BHG-120-00-N is a premium motorcycle-specific handguard hardware kit developed for riders who need maximum lever protection, dependable hand safety, improved long-distance touring comfort, and OEM-level fitment for Triumph’s latest Tiger 900 adventure motorcycle platform. Manufactured by Barkbusters, the highly respected Australian handguard specialist, this kit is engineered specifically for selected Triumph Tiger 900 models (2024 onward) and provides the structural mounting base required to install Barkbusters plastic guard systems such as JET, VPS, STORM, and CARBON shields. Official Barkbusters listings identify this as the BHG-120 Hardware Kit – Two Point Mount.
Unlike universal handguard brackets that often require modification or create poor alignment, the BHG-120-00-N is purpose-built around Triumph Tiger 900 OEM handlebar geometry, switchgear layout, and bar-end specifications. This ensures cleaner installation, proper brake and clutch lever clearance, stronger mounting support, and long-term reliability. For premium adventure motorcycles like the Tiger 900, model-specific fitment is essential because accessories must perform flawlessly during highway touring, city commuting, trail riding, and mixed-terrain travel.
The core strength of this system is Barkbusters’ proven two-point full-wrap aluminium backbone design. 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 construction offers significantly more impact resistance than decorative plastic-only guards. In the event of tip-overs, parking drops, trail contact, or low-speed falls, the aluminium backbone helps reduce damage to brake levers, clutch levers, switchgear, mirrors, and throttle components while also helping shield the rider’s hands from impact.
Constructed from heat-treated aluminium, the backbone offers excellent strength while remaining lightweight enough to preserve natural steering feel. Heat treatment improves rigidity and impact resistance, making Barkbusters a preferred upgrade for serious ADV and touring riders worldwide. The BHG-120-00-N version features a durable corrosion-resistant finish suited for harsh weather, mud, dust, and regular touring use.
Another major advantage of Barkbusters products is modular customization. Since this SKU includes the hardware mount only, riders can choose separate Barkbusters plastic shields depending on weather and riding needs. STORM guards are ideal for maximum wind and rain protection, VPS guards offer balanced street and ADV coverage, JET guards provide a slimmer sporty profile, and CARBON guards add a premium appearance.
Adventure riders frequently choose Barkbusters because of their durability and impact protection. Triumph rider discussions also mention Barkbusters helping save levers during drops and falls.
Installation is designed to be straightforward with supplied hardware and fitting instructions. Correct throttle clearance and proper positioning are recommended during installation for best results. Professional installation is advised for correct torque settings and optimal fitment.
Whether you use your Triumph Tiger 900 for commuting, adventure touring, long-distance travel, or off-road exploration, the Barkbusters BHG-120-00-N Handguard Mount delivers premium durability, exact fitment, and globally trusted protection.
