I have hand guard extenders on several bikes and they work okay. When the mercury drops Hippo Hand Alcans for the win. Big, ugly and bulky but when is 20 degrees out and you on you 9th hour of the days travel and your hands are toasty warm you see the beauty in them.

There was a bloke in Australia making these about 4 or 5 years ago. It works well. It has my phone number printed into it which is nice. I can't find his details now though.




There's another bloke in Ballarat been advertising these recently for $30.

This seems to be an easy enough design and print. I'm not around my ringer this week but could probably sort something next week if the other person above doesn't get it.

I have one that is Chinese. 2 are made in USA,  it makes a difference. I buy mine at a store, handled correctly, not abused.
Delivery is important, not thrown on the porch or in truck like Amazon.

One of the few disappointments with the 2020 year V85TT has been the tube rims.  No more for me.  Cadre had an extra set of tubeless original rims, so I just picked them up with new Michelins on 'em and will start the season with a plug kit, fresh rubber and a lot less concern when far from home.  it was an easy choice once I decided that the V100 was not in the cards for me, at least this year.

I'm not sure 3D printed plastic is up to loosening (and tightening) an original filler plug/dipstick adequately. Maybe if it had an o-ring on it like the small-block one, but it needs to be fairly tight with a crush washer or even fiber washer to keep from leaking.
