Installation:
Installing both the guards and protectors took about 30 min and went smooth. Everything necessary for installation was included in the kit. They are installed like a standard set of hand guards with the flaring bar end adapters and bar clamps. Remember when installing LED lights on your bike it more than likely requires resistors to be installed to get them to flash.

Durability:
The Zeta Armor guards are made from T-6 aluminum which makes them lightweight and durable. The XC Protectors are as durable as any guard I have tried in the past. The only way to find out how they will hold up is with seat time. Unfortunately at this time I need to put the bike down a few more times to test the overall durability. I will have an update soon.
Advantages:
The biggest advantage over standard hand guards is in the XC Flasher Protectors. They are clean looking, functioning, and make the bike more visible. Also the bar end adapters are the flaring type which stay inside bar ends better then the swivel type used in other brands.
Disadvantages:
At this time there are no disadvantages to report.
