Lightweight PMO rain-shield ? Any ?

[Xavier PJB]

Greetings,

on top of my 40IDS, I have replaced the stock air housing/filter by the PMO ones - but they weight a dead man and wonder if anyone planned to make them lighter, using 3D printing for exemple ?
AM no fan of the FBG yellow/amber ones, and having the rest of the tin wear black (do not wish to change the whole lot).

Any lead appreciated, or if none I will make them myself

Cheers

There are a few Carbon fiber versions like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324291114271

Maybe these lightweight aluminum covers that Stoddard offered as part of a kit in the mid 70’s could work for you?

I think I have a “spare” set someplace in storage.

"AM no fan of the FBG yellow/amber ones"....wouldn't a little sanding and a "rattle"-can of "Crylon" semi matt black plus an afternoon in your driveway take care of that?...

Who sells nice amber ones?

Maybe not so "Amber" but if you paint them they will work OK...

Thank you all for your feedback - will seek what is in the market and will go either "amber" or carbon fiber.
