XTreme Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I just pulled in another gig this morning from an existing client......so I thought it may be a good time to mention the Heed Bars to the wife. In retrospect, it may not have been the best time because I got the Death Stare! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Update is that Tony the Tools will fit them for me! He was thinking of a set for his bike so he's interested to see what they're like. Delivery should be later on next week.....they're coming from Poland. You guys in Britain have got to pay import taxes on stuff from Europe now haven't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if those parts or accessories originated from Europe then the price is going to be higher Clive......cos the UK supplier will have had to pay the import duty. And what about European bikes......will those cost more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 And they're here! Very impressive......twice the thickness of the Givi ones that were on the Strom! I looked at the instructions and it involves taking out big bolts going through the frame! Definitely a job for Tony the Tools! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Got my Polish 3D printed hand guard extenders. Just pushed them on and they seem to be tight. Did 70-90mph home on the motorway and they didn't move, stopped the cold wind shooting up my sleeve. I only fitted the right one to come home as a test of the difference they make. Might run a bit of glue or silicon on them to make sure they don't leave me. No tax requested, just came through the post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Little bit of black spray over them to make them colour match, @yen_powell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forget, I am partially colour blind, the blue doesn't bother me too much. You can buy the file only and get them printed up again if you know someone with a printer and the right colour plastic, I'll see how I get on with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesmoDog Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 @Earache Hey! Those look familiar... I still haven't tried printing them in flexible material but I'm getting closer... Here's the set I printed for Earache. Not sure why he chose this color but I don't judge... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think 3D printing is powerful magic. We are living in the science fiction of my youth. Have you ever seen the episode of Red Dwarf where during a disaster an emergency crew member is 3d Printed by the ship's computer and it jams slightly as it comes out of the plotter, over prints in the head area and he has to bend his head right over to look at people all the time? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
