You know about the Suzuki DL-1000 hand guards, right? Had a set on Pandora (Gen1) and were one of the first things I added to Legacy (Gen2). They do cost more than $3 (more like $35. Each. Plus some mounting hardware). But they fit well and blend nicely with the styling of an FJR.

One does need to replace the existing lever pivot bolts with something longer. Someone in the community sells a mounting kit based on the Suzuki bolts but I cobbled together my own spacers and pivots out of aluminium and bearing bronze on the lathe:
