Got tired of waiting for the Echo Rogue windguard, so I build my own, I hope it help somebody else..

For a long time I have been waiting to get the Echo windguard, it was unavailable for months, now they came up with a new version of it that sucks! So finally decided to build my own, I have seen many on the web, but for a nice and expensive machine I wanted something that at least look decent and I could not find one that I like, so I decided to make my own. Surprisingly I spent more time at HomeDepot trying to find the right materials than putting them together, I spent like $10 and it was very easy! It took me about 15 mins, all I needed was a piece of Pipe Insulation and a packet of cable ties.

I am not going to write the instructions since is very straight forward, but wanted to share the idea.

One important thing, the cool thing about of the pipe insulation is that it has an adhesive strip on the edges which makes it easer to install and it looks good in black.

@robertcf Haha dude. Ordered the wind guard. It arrived with the bike and I realised that getting hot AF on the bike the wind is pleasant. Never installed it

@redponydriver I mean props to people who want one and who like it. But to me the wind in the face is literally the only good thing about being on an Assault/Echo bike… it’s like a fan in hell…

@matthew2540 The wind feels good during summer, but early in the morning during winter is not fun and gives me another reason not to use it ;-)

 

[matthew2540]

@robertcf Lol good points

 

[robertcf]

@matthew2540 I returned mine, it does not work.. if you are interested you can read the reviews, most people are complaining about it.

@robertcf I just use tape.

@robertcf We just chuck a hoodie over our Assault Bike to do the same job, but some pipe lagging seems a really cheap and easy way to do it.

@robertcf Thats a simple idea, I like it.

The wind is not what bothers me, its knowing that whatever is floating in the wind is now in my lungs. I am sure I breath in enough bacteria everyday without a fan forcing it down my throat.
