Title: Easy to build wind deflectors
Post by: Tfrank59 on January 18, 2018, 12:59:23 PM
I didn't mention it in the video but they only take 30 seconds to remove in hot weather when you say well I don't need a wind deflector now I want the wind.  Anyways check it out maybe it's something that would help you in this cold weather if you're like me and you want to ride all year round.

   Now just wondering if you have access to a milling machine, why you are not milling a bunch out and selling them to members at a reasonable cost to them and a small profit for yourself. Wonder if you could make the plate from Clear plexiglass.......looks like a really good idea......

The milling machine I have access to belongs to the state so I'm not allowed to make any profit, but that is probably the easy part. if a person just got some aluminum say a quarter inch by 1 inch and then belt sand the ends of it, drill some holes in it and you've got it.  And plexiglass wouldn't work because I think it will damage your gas tank. These wind deflectors will make contact when you turn your handlebars.
