Probably not... but you would run out of ink very quickly during 3D processing and your project could fail before you refill it...Smile

I found the fork guards on my 2017EX work very well in shielding crud. I used some Triumph ones I had kicking around which were the same diameter. I did have to bring the twin horns out on some washers though as the guards just caught them.

Hmm.. didn't think about the horns. I put slightly smaller ones on my CB, wonder if that would help.

My lads North American spec Ninja EX250F, this colour was never sold in Europe. It is ironic that the modern plastic adorned Ninja is a carburetted 2004 and the chromed up CB is a fuel injected 2017MY. Smile

Mine is home made from a PCV pipe back in 2017 and not as nice as yours PB.

It is secured via a tie-wrap.

It is tall enough but will not contact the horns during hard braking.

Does the job properly and happy with the price $2.
