What year/model bike, and/or diameter?

For what? Model and year. You could be talking about a faired bike for all we know.

I know some such things exist for GS's (at least the protectors), but I doubt if for anything else.

There is an aftermarket accessory for aircooled VWs, but I think the diameter is too small. Wouldn't be too hard to fabricate something similar: http://www.chircoestore.com/catalog/pro ... 3mug4ks3c5

I 'spose you've looked at all the strainers in your restaurant kitchen?

Edit, I thought this was Tims Thread! Oops, sorry Tim.

The price, look and size of these might be just the ticket:

For the yellow lens you might consider applying a yellow UV tint/film to the inside of your stock lens.

I was thinking about that possibility, but I don't know of any films that would work on either concave or convex surfaces. You might be able to tint it with theatrical light bulb dip:

A friend of mine down the street has a set of those Moss stone guards. I plan to test fit one the next time I ride over.
