If you aren't running some sort of hand guards off-road, then you either need to bring lots of spare levers, ride like Shane Watts, or buy some hand guards. There are many kinds of hand guards that could work, but I am a fan of Highway Dirt Bikes. The main reason is that the way the top clamp connects the guards. I find that it somewhat dampens vibrations and secondly the top clamp gives me a tidy place to mount a RAM ball (or 2) and sometimes a button if needed.
I also magnificently crash tested another set a few times. The guards never missed a beat, and in fact, you will likely bend a bar slightly before you will break off your levers. The other nice feature is you can run them without the plastic shields for better air flow on your hands during the hot summer months.
While HDB does come with mirrors, I do find them a bit buzzy. They are fine for the minor stuff off-road, but I don't particularly care for them off road. A better all round choice would have been the Double Take mirrors.
