ABSTRACT:
A pair of polypropylene protective devices are mounted on the handlebars of an off-road motorcycle to cover metal brackets on the handlebars. Each protective device has a generally U-shaped body with first and second legs connected by a cross member, with the second leg longer than the first leg and a curved transition between the cross member and each of the legs. Preferably two clip members integral with the cross member and extending between the first and second legs are provided, straddling the handlebar bracket. The clip members have a pair of legs with free ends together defining a central opening having an interior configuration and size substantially the same as the exterior configuration of the motorcycle handlebar, and sufficiently flexible so that they can clip onto the handlebar. Fasteners pass through openings in the free ends of the clip legs to hold them in place with a cross member between the handlebar and the motorcycle seat. The kill switch on the handlebar is repositioned to be next to, and uncovered by, one of the protective devices. Two protective devices and a number of fasteners are mounted together in a plastic bag to define a kit.
