Keith ,Great shots ...That get us primed for action up here...One question, I see 2 thumb screws on the canopy in front of you.. is that some sort of attachment for a wind deflector or something?

You guys don't miss a beat!
I have built two wind deflectors for those cold and wet days. I took 1/8" smoked black plexiglass and cut them about 4" to match the canopy curves - they are still transparent, and give a slight lift to keep the wind (and those pesky critters) from going directly into your eyes - I'm still cleaning up the design, but I emmbedded barrel nuts into the cowls, so I leave the thumb screws in when the fairings are off (they're still too ugly, I need to cut some prettier ones). I lined the edges with pinch trim and voila! What a difference!
