I found a Huret spoke protector at the coop. It was silver chrome in the center with yellowed & heavily scratched clear plastic (about 2" wide) around the outside. I wanted it for the Motobecane Grand Jubile, so I used a dremel to file off the back side tabs & removed the clear part. Now I've got only the silver part that says "Huret" mounted. It's only a tiny bit bigger than the large cog, so not sure how helpful it would be if I overshot the low gear. The point being, that I'm so busy looking at the rest of the bike that I don't notice the dorky.
It's a Sekine spoke protector!


Here's my STOCK Voyageur SP- you can see how small the spoke protector is on there:
