The Barkbusters VPS Guard Grey VPS-203-00-GY is a premium replacement handguard plastic shield kit designed for riders who need stylish protection, improved wind deflection, lightweight durability, and compatibility with Barkbusters aluminium backbone systems. Manufactured by Barkbusters, the globally trusted Australian handguard specialist, this VPS guard set is one of the brand’s most popular upgrade options for adventure, touring, street, dual-sport, and commuter motorcycles. It combines modern styling with practical rider protection and is ideal for customers looking to enhance both the appearance and functionality of their Barkbusters handguard setup.
The VPS-203-00-GY kit includes a left and right pair of high-impact resistant plastic guards finished in an attractive Grey colourway. This neutral modern finish suits a wide range of motorcycles including adventure bikes, naked bikes, dual-sport machines, touring motorcycles, and urban commuters. The contemporary angular design gives motorcycles a more aggressive premium look while maintaining excellent functional coverage for the hands and controls.
Unlike basic plastic handguards, the Barkbusters VPS system includes an integrated variable height wind deflector set. These deflectors can be fitted in two different positions depending on rider preference, allowing users to choose increased weather protection or a lower-profile sportier setup. Riders can also remove the deflectors in minutes when compact styling or reduced bulk is preferred. This modular design makes the VPS system extremely versatile for changing seasons, city riding, highway touring, and off-road conditions.
Constructed from high-impact resistant engineered plastic, the VPS guards are designed to handle regular road use, stone strikes, brush contact, and harsh weather exposure. When fitted to compatible Barkbusters aluminium backbones (sold separately), they create a much stronger protective system than cosmetic plastic guards mounted alone. These shields help reduce windblast to the rider’s hands while also protecting controls from mud, rain, stones, and road debris.
This product consists of the plastic guards only and requires compatible Barkbusters aluminium backbone mounts for installation. It is compatible with most Barkbusters backbone systems except the EGO backbone. Riders commonly pair VPS guards with Barkbusters bike-specific mounting kits for complete handguard protection.
Motorcycle communities often recommend Barkbusters products because of their durability, clean fitment, and strong real-world protection. Riders also appreciate the grey colour option for matching modern motorcycle styling.
Whether you ride daily in traffic, travel long distances, commute year-round, or explore off-road trails, the Barkbusters VPS Guard Grey VPS-203-00-GY offers premium protection, flexible weather control, and trusted Australian quality.
