    And for a few bucks you can get ploycarbonate from at a glazier or should be able to and you need no heat just fold it and cut it
    or cut it and fold it
    I was going to make one of these but as yet havnt .

    Just get longer tank fuel cap screws.

    looks a lot better and stable than those stem things at god know how much this was about 70 on the trade me and i recken it should cost about 15 dollars

    Very simple
    doesnt your helmet smak bang right into that thing when you get sum serious speed and need to be looking through the windscreen? i was going to make 1 for there but thats exactly where my helmet/neck sits

    Could always try making the base longer pushing it forwards a bit more
    I dont tuck in on to the tank when i have speed on the bike and shield just seem to work and i dont really notice the wind pushing on to me to much
    Never really thought about it till now

    There will be a plastic fitting that will clamp to the center of the handle bar if you changed the design a bit but stick to the basic z type shape itll work out

    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    I also use the Givi mount. Cost $39.95 & screwed it onto one of the nuts on the windscreen , works a treat & easily the most cost effective & easy to fit solution that is also transferable from bike to bike.


    Givi FTW!
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    In some States of USA and I think Canada, a Detector fitted to the vehicle make Insurance null & void.

    Ins Co.s would jump at that opportunity here also!
