Personally I like the thought of an HD pirate doing an off road Dakar trek, hand shields glistening in the sun!

You all may jest but its a good solution to cold hands.
Nice if you can detach them when you stop off , it would save on the piss takes.

| | Posted : 22 Jul 2010 - 15:25 Post title : Re: Hand Shields (Re: Gonzo) | | | This gives me a new idea. Those bends in the HD version can be fabbed easily enough in 3/8" plexi. I've been looking for handgurads as wind deflectors. With my dual windscreen, laminar slot approach, I think this shape is the best I've seen so far, to direct the flow up and around. That should take care of the last bit of bug splat and pressure problem on my biceps/shoulders.  Also, fits the "invisible" wind deflector look,
I already have going.
