Home made windshield

[Relic]

Impressive. If I ever went to a windsheild, that would be it (Clean & minimal).

 

[Slick-Dog]

Outstanding! Simplicity is genus! i would like to do that for long trips as well...

Thanks for all the compliments. I have to admit I had help from a friend on this. I will tell you that it does not deminish the feel of the ride, only keeps the face and chest from pressure. Just got back from 150 mile trip and I feel great.
I've had a few requests for the build and have fowarded the info via email and will do the same for anyone interested in making one. My cost was very little as all the materials were given to me except for the aluminum, (cost $20 at a metal fab shop). So feel free to request the specs and I'll send them right over to you.

The only thing to check is whether plexiglass is good enough for the shatter resistance you want (Lexan is better) and if plexiglass is legal in your state. see How to Alter Motorcycle Windshields | eHow.com (doesn't list states but mentions legality of plexiglass vs lexan)

Design wise -- great work.

 

[Olddoger]

WOW! Thanks Franco, Great blow ups. In regard to the plexi vs lexan, the plexi is easier to work with. I tried the lexan first but it doesn't work well with heat. The plexi will heat real easy and curv to the mold when placed.
