If it works great for you then maybe it will reasure me to give it a try.:thumbup:

VICKER.... go to LOWE's/HOME DEPOT, buy yourself a sheet of Lexan, and give it a try... actually, it's relatively easy... TOOLS: HEAT GUN, ELECTRIC DRILL, BELT SANDER, BAND SAW, deburring tool, card-board, tape and a few hours and you'll ryde off with a new wind screen...
if you need 'exact details' PM me and i'll walk you thru...

NO COFFEE...... but i'll be sure to have it if you should drop by... :D That is so kind of you, but I don't drink the stuff! I love the smell of it, but will not drink it! Hot chocolate, soda or a water will do. :)

DREW, half the fun of owning a SPYD3R, is rydyng, the other half is building MOD's for it... if the weather is not right to ryde, then get your brain in gear, and MAKE SOMETHING.... :ohyea:

Dan, looks good. I especially like the upturned edge on the top. If I didn't know better, I'd say you bought it from some European MC Store! :thumbup:

It tried to snow today, just COLD, I'll go to work at 40 degrees, but 26 degres I draw the line. Hopefully it will get warmer soon.

CHUPACA.....
it worked gr8, diverting the air up-and-over my head, and around my hands (too cold for testing without a helmet n gloves)... but it failed @ 57 MPH, it started to twist... NOT GOOD...:banghead: back to the drawing board...
the side edges are bent toward the front to divert air going by my hands... i'll need to 'heat n bend' those so they will face toward the rear, and take another ryde (once i warm up)...
also, i used .100 (or 1/10") material... i think i may need to go to the next level up, which is .232"... this is MUCH MORE DIFFICULT to work with when it comes to bending...

Chupaca.... Rev. "B" worked gr8.... :yes: now looks like crap b'kuz of all the heat... this material can only take so much... i had it up to 85 and it was stable as an OEM...:clap: i sensed less air 'over' and more air to the 'sides'... but far less than the tiny OEM unit... on the final unit, i'll have less horizontal 'air dam'... maybe 1" versus the current 2.5"...

now that i know the 'perfect' configuration, i'll get some .232 material and fab a final unit...
Rev. "B" included, turning the sides to the aft... and rolling the top a bit more... note: anytime you add a radii, you increase strength...

check out the new pix...
