Yamaha Handguard Extenders

When I picked up my Tenere, it already had the genuine guards and "wind deflectors" LOL!!! on it.

The bike was fine when I had the muffs on it, but I (as everyone else has I'm sure) found the wind deflectors are C.R.A.P....oh and did I mention that they are crap too?


[Does anyone from Yamaha read these forums for feedback - you would pay are marketing company a small fortune to get this genuine opinion feedback...?...anyway I digress]


Sooo rather than buy and fit different guards, I have made some add on deflectors that extend the lower portion of the handguards - and now I'm off to try them out (they certainly won't be any worse) - if they work...is anyone interested in me making a pattern and instructions? (I don't want to take them off again if no one is interested...but if you are...I will)

Right test out first...watch this space. (Oh and I'll take a photo too)...

Obviously haven't got to be orange..make it from any stiff plastic you have laying around...this is the back cover off a used A4 note book...tis all I had to hand.








and my waterproof GPS holder (total cost for hand guards and GPS case...20p)

very good !!

I intended to drill/cable tie some hard notebook plastic cover in front of them for the winter...and then I bought heated gloves

using the existing screw is an excellent idea !!!
