Hi All,
I have a set of genuine gts guards for a HX but they have no front section on them, they had been cut off, I was wondering if anyone know's of someone who will do a good job of cutting them out and welding them into standard guards and what sort of money it will cost.

Daniel

If your going to weld them into another guard id take out more than just the flues that way when someone checks to see if there the real deal they will find they are but just in another guard. Where as if you take out just the flutes the same size as rare

If the GTS guards you have are good in the bottom, I would cut them straight across between the flutes and the ridge, and unpick the spot welds holding the inner in place. Then do the same to a rusty but straight set of standard guards but keep the top ha |
