OEM Honda Hand Protectors!?

Hello folks

 

In my interweb searches for 45L Top Boxes, I came across the following German Accessory catalog listing this item:

 

59c2ae948facf_handguards.png.e83fafb201d421030e5c41dccf221667.png

 

I found it here (2017 VFR800 accessory catalog):  http://www.honda.de/content/dam/local/germany/motorcycles/pdf/zubehoer/Zubehoer_VFR800F_2017-04.pdf

 

Google translate says:

Handprotector set
!Not suitable for vehicles before 2016.

Has anyone used these or seen them? Can you post some pics of them installed? Why wouldn't they work on 2014-15? 

 

I'd love to have a set as I live in the great white north and the first thing that gets cold are my hands even with the warmers (palms are warm, but fingers cold!) Brrrr... ;)

I have a set of Barkbusters on my VFR800X for colder weather riding. Don't know if they'll fit the 800F but I can't imagine why not as they're a "universal fit".

Maybe, like the picture of the rack immediately to the left, they're intended for the 800X?

The picture if the rack to the left is a 1200F with that seat. The 800X has a split seat front and rear.

Even stranger to find it there then!

Indeed. Makes you wonder if Honda have a clue what they're doing sometimes.
