The Barkbusters VPS Guard Black White VPS-203-00-BK is a premium replacement handguard plastic shield kit designed for riders who need stylish impact 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 upgrades for adventure, touring, naked, dual-sport, commuter, and street motorcycles. It combines aggressive styling with practical rider protection, making it ideal for customers who want to improve both the look and functionality of their Barkbusters handguard system.
The VPS-203-00-BK kit includes a left and right pair of high-impact resistant plastic guards finished in a sharp Black / White colour combination. This sporty contrast design suits a wide range of motorcycles and complements black, white, grey, silver, and adventure-style bodywork. The angular modern profile gives motorcycles a cleaner premium appearance while maintaining strong functional hand coverage.
Unlike simple plastic handguards, the Barkbusters VPS system includes an integrated variable height wind deflector set. These deflectors can be mounted in two positions depending on rider preference, allowing increased weather protection for touring or a lower-profile sporty setup for everyday riding. The deflectors can also be removed quickly for a compact look. This versatile design makes the VPS system suitable for changing seasons, highway travel, commuting, and trail riding.
Constructed from high-impact resistant engineered plastic, the VPS guards are designed to handle road debris, stone strikes, brush contact, and harsh weather exposure. When installed on compatible Barkbusters aluminium backbones (sold separately), they create a much stronger handguard system than decorative plastic-only guards. These shields help reduce windblast to the rider’s hands while protecting controls from mud, rain, gravel, 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 riders frequently recommend Barkbusters products because of their durability, fitment quality, and long-term real-world protection. Community discussions also praise the VPS design for balancing weather protection with a slimmer sporty shape.
Whether you ride daily in traffic, travel long distance, commute year-round, or explore off-road routes, the Barkbusters VPS Guard Black White VPS-203-00-BK offers premium styling, flexible weather control, and trusted Australian quality.
