DIY wind deflector for OEM handguards.

[Jiivee]

Hi. I have been looking for a solution to this case for some time and decided to try to do it myself...

I used 2.5mm PE plastic as material, which is flexible and easy to cut with scissors. I made a blank that I liked and adjusted it a few times to get the holes in the right place. Then I just finished the shape by cutting with scissors and installed them in place. Now, in my opinion, they provide much better protection for the hands when driving in the rain and cold weather.

Well done!

Just brilliant. Any chance of a template? Any way of doing a pdf file with the plan?

Hi guys and thanks for the comments. I have to admit that I'm bad with files and I don't have a scanner, but I visited a local company that made me a pdf file template.

I'm happy to share this and I can send a pdf file by email if anyone wants it, because I don't know how to attach it here?
