:lol: They far more PLASTIC in them that of the Honda x-adv's i bought for it...four tiny diddy bits of plastic for £100, had i of known just how big they were i would never have bought them. I don't have a clue if they work as i have not yet put them on, the two (larger) uppers will cover up the very expensive ( if you had to buy it ) tri-colour decals...

Ive got some altbergs, fantastic boots, I didnt buy the motorcycle style because I wanted an all rounder, so I bought the micro lite. The factory say they are 'a silent approach boot', so Ideal for dogging then!! :D

If they are really that simple why not make some from aluminium sheet? I did this for one scooter with particularly ineffective bodywork and its surprising how much difference an inch or two of extra extension can make. ( Sorry for the unintended innuendo)

I've had several pairs of Altbergs, and they were fabulous, but a few years ago they seemed to do something to their designs which means that they just don't seem to fit me properly anymore, no matter what size or width fitting I try.

That's probably one of the few things with an engine that Horobags hasn't owned! :lol:

I remember seeing a set of Yamaha Mk 3 TMax deflectors up for sale (if memory serves correctly it was Alaska Guy on the USA Majesty forum) and thinking if he was selling them, being an experienced high-mileage rider, they can't be much good. :)
I also remember being on a cold, wet ride back from London and thinking "those deflectors would come in handy!" :?
I suppose if some came up for sale at the right price I might get some.
Has anyone any experience with the TMax items?

I've never really seen the need on previous Tmaxs, but with the narrower footboards on the mk6, I'd definitely be interested in finding some!
