READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION!

NOTE: PowerMadd’s ATV/MX kit comes with two bent aluminum brackets which will angle the hand guards
away from the end of the handlebars to allow room for clutch and brake levers. The brackets can be positioned
to go over the top or underneath of the levers, but both brackets must mount the same way. To mount the
guards you will need to find ½” of space on the bar as close to the handgrip as possible. You may need to move
your levers, throttle blocks, etc. in order to make room for the mounting bracket.

The photos shown are of an ATV installation. This is due to the fact that ATVs tend to have more controls
attached to the bar, making installation a bit more challenging. The same steps apply to motorcycles.

RIGHT / THROTTLE SIDE BRACKET
NOTE: Many ATVs and motorcycles have a tab that protrudes from

the throttle assembly which spaces the brake perch an exact distance
from the throttle (Photo 1). This is to speed up assembly at the factory
and can be removed. If you don’t want to remove the tab, you can
slide the brake lever perch over to create enough room for the
handguard bracket, or mount the handguard bracket on the inside of
the brake perch.

STEP 1: Once you’ve found ½” of space on the bar, slide one of the
steel straps onto the handlebar.

STEP 2: Attach the bracket to the strap by inserting the short M5

button head bolt and tighten it with a 3mm hex wrench. Make sure the
bracket is angled toward the center of the machine (Photo 2).

STEP 3: Insert the M6 x 25mm hex head bolt through the bracket and thread into the strap. This adjustment
screw is used to achieve the desired tightness of the mount. Leave the bracket loose enough for now so you can
adjust the position up or down after attaching the hand guard to the bracket.

LEFT / CLUTCH SIDE BRACKET

NOTE: On most ATVs you will have to move the clutch (or brake) perch

over to create a gap between the perch and grip/control assembly to mount
the bracket. On some models the bracket may work on the other side of the
perch.

STEP 4: Slide the other steel strap on to the handlebar in between the
clutch perch and the grip. Any wires should go outside the strap and
bracket.

STEP 5: Attach the second bracket to the strap as you did in STEPS 2 & 3.
HAND GUARD MOUNTING
STEP 6: The four pictures below show the options for mounting the hand

guard to the bracket. These options allow you to move the guard right or left
depending on the position you prefer. Hold the hand guards up to the mounted brackets to decide which
mounting option to use. Then follow the instructions below for the option you have chosen.

When mounting the handguard to the bracket, make sure the no-spin spacer is positioned so that the pin goes
into the back hole of the bracket and the bolt goes through the front hole. Also make sure the no-spin spacer is
positioned so that its tabs go over one of the handguard tabs as in the Option photos below.

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4

Option 1 & 2 - RECOMMENDED: The strongest mounting option is to have the bracket and no-spin spacer
inside the handguard tabs. Thread the M6 x 45mm hex head bolt through the handguard tab, the no-spin spacer
and bracket, and then the other tab. Thread the lock nut onto the bolt and tighten using 10mm wrenches.

Option 3 & 4: Position the no-spin spacer on the bracket and handguard tab. Thread the M6 x 65mm hex head
bolt through the bracket, no-spin spacer and handguard tab. Insert the long spacer in between the handguard
tabs and continue to thread the bolt through the long spacer and the other handguard tab. Thread the lock nut
onto the bolt and tighten using 10mm wrenches.

STEP 7: Adjust both handguards to the desired up/down position by spinning the bracket on the handlebar.
Once in position, use a 10mm wrench to tighten the M6 x 25mm hex head bolt both brackets. DO NOT over
tighten the mounts, you want them tight enough that they won’t move if you land hard or hit a big bump, but
you don’t want them so tight that they won’t rotate if you were to crash.

STEP 8: All fasteners may need to be retightened after the first ride. Check the tightness of the bracket
and guard before each ride.
