Stelvio handguards for Futura
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2009 6:14 pm
Following a suggestion from Ian at Max Moto, I've just bought these

They will fit with no modification to the guards themselves.
However, the bar-ends supplied are about 20 mm too short (with R & G bar end protectors fitted); I'm going to have to fashion some extensions - I was thinking of either casting some in resin, using the supplied bar-end (suitably cut down) as a pattern, or machining some from dense nylon or polypropylene.
UK Guzzi dealers are selling these for about £50 - £55.
I was also thinking of adding some LED strips.
I'll let you know how I get on.
