Omni-directional self-orienting breakaway hand guards

A method of assembling a self-orienting omni-directional self-orienting breakaway hand guard, comprising steps of:

• providing a handlebar assembly, the handlebar assembly having a first mated surface;
• providing a main chassis, the main chassis having a second mated surface;
• providing a shield assembly and an axial central core;
• securely attaching the main chassis to the shield assembly;
• installing the axial central core through the handlebar assembly and the main chassis, wherein the first mated surface and the second mated surface are in a mated configuration, and wherein the handlebar assembly and the main chassis communicate under compression.

A omni-directional self-orienting breakaway hand guard mounted on handlebars comprising:

• a handlebar assembly, the handlebar assembly further comprising a handlebar clamp and one or more handlebar clamp bolts, the handlebar clamp and the one or more handlebar clamp bolts securing the handlebar assembly to the handlebars;
• a shield assembly, the shield assembly further comprising a shield and one or more shield attachment bolts, the one or more shield attachment bolts securing the shield to the shield assembly;
• a main chassis, wherein the main chassis is attached to the shield assembly via a shield assembly bolt and wherein the main chassis and the handlebar assembly communicate via a pair of mated surfaces, wherein the pair of mated surfaces comprises a first mated surface on the main chassis and a second mated surface on the handlebar assembly, wherein the first mated surface is a plug and the second mated surface is a socket shaped to accommodate the first mated surface;
• and
• an axial central core passing through the main chassis and the handlebar assembly, the axial central core comprising a first end, a flexible middle portion, a threaded second end, a spring to provide elastic compression and a nut;
• wherein the flexible middle portion comprises a cable, the cable swaged to the first end and the cable swaged to the threaded second end;
• wherein the nut secures the axial central core within the handlebar assembly and the main chassis;
• and,
• wherein the axial central core creates elastic compression between the main chassis and the handlebar assembly to place the shield assembly in a desired position and orientation with respect to the handlebar assembly.
