don't have any, but what all do you plan on doing?

If you are just doing the ram air tubes and still have the stock ones then just paint them. That's what I did for the super b!tch

Don't laugh but I use some small 1/4" squared chicken wire mesh from Tractor Supply cut to size for an air duct on my KTM race bikes (instead of a headlight bulb) on the EXC headlight shell for hare scrambles.

You can purchase different length rolls and it's not expensive. The material is flexible and you can easily paint to match your bike if you wish.

I know it works up to at least 98 mph on the cross crounty straight-a-ways. Just make sure it's secured properly.

They have many shapes and sizes designed for and to protect farm animals and keep out small pests.
