I've got a 309, unfortunately the front disc guard got broken when my brother borrowed the front end out of the bike!

Been looking at the idea of using what I have of the guard to make a mould and make a replacement in carbon or Kevlar.

The guard looks to be the same on the 305, 307, 309 and early K-Roo.

Question is if I made some would anyone be interested in one? The only reason I'm asking is if there is some interest I will put a bit more effort onto the mould if not I will make it good enough to make me a couple for me and leave it at that.

If I do this it's not likely to happen until towards the end of the year, got too many other projects to finish. Please don't think I'm doing this in any way as a business it's just something I'm doing for myself and thought I would ask the question.

What if you made it with a 3-D printer and shared the file so others could make it? Then people can pick their own color. You would need have someone do a 3-D scan of the fixed original then print a new one.

To be honest the front one is a simple enough shape I could probably model it from scratch without too much effort and we are possible going to be getting a laser scanner at work soon so I might have that option as well.

The reason I was going down the composite route is that is something I can do at home. The 3D printing option is fine if you can find someone who has a printer and really knows how to use it. One other problem is when you start looking at the better filaments like the impact modified PLA which the writer was going to try next the choice of colours gets a lot smaller.

My daughter keeps going on about getting a 3D printer so this may be the justification!
