Backdraft Eliminator designed, built, and installed!
Finally got my Backdraft Eliminator designed, built, and installed. Had one on my Goldwing and loved it. Also creates a nice space for decals. This post is about the shield on the passenger backrest, not the flags.

Joel, FWIW, from Title 4 United States Code, Chapter 1, § 7. "Position and manner of display
The flag, when carried in a procession with another flag or flags, should be either on the
marching right; that is, the flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the
center of that line." You should reverse the position of the two flags on your Spyder.
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

That has been corrected since the photo was taken.

Besides, while the Spyder is moving forwards with someone onboard, the air flow just there is a bit turbulent, but mainly towards the front of the Spyder, hence the need to stop or eliminate ' the back-draft'!
I suppose so.

It really works! And, it works really well when there is no passenger. It helps create a bubble and reduce wind turbulence. I rode a couple hundred miles today and what a difference it made. I also noticed the flags were waving the correct direction. Without the backdraft eliminator, the flags were actually waving towards the front of the spyder. They really were! That is how much backdraft there was.
Here is a picture of the one on my Goldwing:

Joel is your shield mounted between the backrest and the trunk and how high and wide did you make it?

It is a actually mounted to the trunk lid and is 10-1/2" tall because the piece of plastic i had was 12x16. It has 2 tabs 1-1/2" long that attach to the trunk hinges. There is also 2-sided tape used.
