Richard.....Bark busters are a very bad idea for desert riding.....There are usually no trees anyway.....Stock factory type hand guards work very well, they deflect the roost and cactus spines and if you fall you don't break the wrist that got caught up in the bark buster......
Probably the most important thing is the tires.....So you don't have a miserable ride they must be full knobbies with heavy duty slimed tubes and have stong sidewalls to avoid pinch flats and cactus thorns.....
How else can we help.....
Listen to what ta2240 tells you, he's full of good info and I'm still trying to teach him all I know...

Better not wear a helmet either. Those things will break your neck! Sorry Steve. Just couldn't resist.
