WANTED ! 10 inch plastic windshield. PLASTIC ONLY!!

[Chillin]

I need the plastic for a 10 inch windshield. I just bought it from ShovelHead a couple months ago. Its an 03 BD Chopper
Bird strike broke it on the left (bad brake). I can not get them to reply about it. I'm not looking
for anything "free" but I am not paying $300 for a piece of plastic.
PREFER a new piece at a reasonable price.

Text or Call 931-260-7110

Thanks
Ron

Find a plastic dealer and pick up a sheet of Lexan polycarbonate. that stuff is almost unbreakable. Shouldn't cost more than 10 or 12 dollars for enough to cut out a new windshield.

Did ya try contacting Windvest? weren't they the original MFG?

I actually think the windshield is the more expensive part those brackets ain't worth shit.

Sorry kinda bad luck but it's better than the bird hitting you in the face. I caught a bird nicked my damn ear at 70mph fuck that hurt like hell my ear was swollen for 2 days

Do you have a deductible on you comprehensive insurance, providing you have full coverage. It was an act of God, same as hitting a deer, maybe insurance will cover it

I live in "ReDnEcKvIlLe USA, things don't exist here, you are just here. I thought Lexan was tougher then that.
I have no problems with the brackets they are fine. The strike was about 70 - 75 and caught right at the left
bracket there the screws are and the break went down at a slight angle inward. I have zero deductable on insurance
I would rather buy then have a claim. I have never had an insurance claim on anything. I will check on Windvest and see
what they have to say. I've e-mails where I bought it and they will not respond. I look at it as money is money, a sale
is a sale. Like I'm not looking for "free" anything but I want what I want. FORGOT to mention it is tinted.
I guess time will be making the decision.

Comprehensive claim does not go against your record

Windvest uses acrylic for theirs. I personaly trust lexan more, but I'm not in that business> You can get a 24 x 24 of 1/8" fairley cheap on Ebay Just sayin.

The thickness should be 3/16" and I believe its plexiglass, if it was lexan it wouldn't have broke, but lexan has memory and would be hard to keep the curve with the mounting that's there.
I think your going to have to bit the bullet

 

[Chillin]

I'm biting too many bullits right now. Just changed the ignition to single fire (big difference), need more rubber in the back
it's 13 years old and the big bullit of insurance (I carry high limits) 2 bikes and 2 cars and my S-10 pick up also shop rent, shop insurance,
on and on this time of year.

I see them on eBay all they time. I have one and if I buy a larger one, I'll sell you mine.

 

[BWG56]

Wonder if you can bend plexiglass with a little heat?? If so, I have some 1/4"

Yes, using a heat gun and bringing it up to temp slowly, you need more than a hair dryer can put out. You could just roll the old one over the flat sheet of plexiglass for your flat pattern and make a curved template out of wood with some over bend to mold it to.

 

[Jwooky]

Oven works well too. Heat it until it says over your form.

 

[Chillin]

yeah there's probably 25 on there now, that's where I got mine. I still get no response.
