Just one of those projects made with spare pieces and can't be duplicated.

Nothing really special about this Drifter but I did just mount some wind deflectors and thought some folks might be interested in them.
Homemade out of an old windshield I had laying around. Was limited by the width by the highway crash bar clearance and height by the signal lights. Only had it our for one long trip but was in a ferocious cross wind so not sure about the efficiency. The wind did pause for a bit and I would guess at at least 60-70% less wind coming up from my legs to my face. I still may wear a full face but will look dorky with this style of machine. Was wearing my beanie while doing the wind test and had to put in earplugs to keep the wind off of my brain.
