Thanks acacia1731 I hope you don't mind me quoting you from that thread:

For me, hand guards are an immediate must have (to protect me, and the controls when I drop the bike).  Here's some info that hopefully helps somebody.

After calling Zero and Cycra, I learned that the $169.99 handguards available from Zero are custom bent versions of standard Cycra products.   I was able to piece together an equivalent set for my 2015 FX, for a total cost of around $135 + shipping (or $113 if you skip the shields).  Details below:
•Bars - $60 (I had to manually bend the right side to get around the front brake reservoir)

•Clamps - $45

•Bar ends - $8

•Shields - $22 (I don't care for shields, so I didn't buy them)

These maybe a better suit for the DS modern/futuristic + you can add LED's
