Removable "WIND SCREEN" completed
 

I have the same post on an other forum, But I posted it here as well in case there's some interested but are not on the other forum;)

Ok guys, Here are some pics of my removable wind screen. I had a freind who works in a machine shop make up the clips, Then I had some custom lex-an glass cut up to fit. I used lex-an instead of plexi, because lex-an can bend without cracking like plexi.

I had a long piece that goes all the way across, and 2 short individual side pieces for the days when one person wants the screen,(wife) but the other one doesn't(ME).

pic 2, Here there not bolted up yet. I used 2 sided tape to adjust them to the right hieght, then I drilled and bolted them up. Only the end clip on both sides end up in the fiberglass, All the otheres end up in the aluminum pannel.

pic 4

pic 5 short pieces. You can also just about see the thumb screws that hold the lex-an in place.

another view of long piece

From about 20 feet away, you can't even see that there's lex-an there.

I made it out of 1/4" thick lex-an
6" tall with the last 8" of the end tapered to 5" (for the sporty look) That leaves about a total of 4" above the fairing.

I had two test pieces on last Saturday when I went out for my 82 MPH run, and they worked fantastic!!!! My partner lit a Cigarette at 50 MPH without ducking down in the seat!!
The flex in the lex-an was not detectable at those speeds, It's a rock solid system. We then took them off to compare the feel of the wind, but that lasted till I hit 30 MPH!!!and we stopped and put them back on!!! it was only 57° that day, and it felt like 30° without the screen. But with them on we went for a good 2 hr cruise.
:D:D:D

Here I just have the lex-an resting on the engine hatch so you can see them a little better. Mom is making up some slip in sleeves to protect the lex-an when not in use. Arn't mom's great
;) ;)

claude, looks great . with wind screen I shouldn`t lose much hair. That`s good kevin can still smoke at 50mph mark

:D:D

So the Lexan isn't pre bent? Very cool!!!

No the lexan is straight, but it can be bent without breaking or cracking. I watched them bend a piece almost 180° in a breaker, (like they use for sheet metal) without even a stretch mark. Pretty cool stuff:D
