Made up some prototype 'wind deflectors' to protect my hands. I think they look quite neat, a bit like the RSV ones. I shall have to try them out tomorrow to see how they work.
I've nearly got my prototype belly pan together. If that looks good I'm hoping to use it as a mould for some CF.
I 've not taken any pictures yet but I'd have problems posting them anyway. There seems to be some compatability issue with this site and the two places I've set up as picture hosts. Maybe if I e-mail them to some one......

Went for a little test ride today and they seemed to work fine. I also got the hairdryer out and gave them a little more shape.
So in conjuction with my 'Tour Master' winter gloves, my hands will no longer be the limiting factor to my enjoyment of winter ridding.
I think a mk11 version might avoid the need for the ally brackets and mount to the dash's frame.

Thanks all.
They do work and are realy quite simple and Andy since I owe you one, I can cut out blanks for you. You just need to make up some simple brackets or fiddle getting a captive nut or similar behind the instrument frame. Then something I am sure you are very familliar with, just style to suit with a blow dryer.
Same applies to some others......
Regards,
Keith

They need some indicators in the front and mirrors in the back and it'll be just like riding a PanEuropean

Do they add instability problems then

Some mental instability perhaps.
