Make a Windshield
« on: November 18, 2012, 03:52:01 PM »
Having more time than money, I found my old broken Parabelium
windshield and decided to cut it down to try on the Yager;


I used my jig saw with a fine non-curf blade (the sides are straight) and cut very slowly. Too quick and
it will crack!;


I stuck it on with some velcro dot's left over form a laminar lip install;




Kind of ugly and I'm not sure it will stay on very well but good to see how much windshield I need!

Well I have to let the velcro dots stick for 24 hours for max adhesion so
a test run tommorrow.

 Well 60F today so I took her out for a ride. It stopped a lot of wind but there was a lot of noise
and a tiny high speed jet of air on my upper helmet. All in all I'd call it a fail because of the noise.
It did help the scooter cut through the air better, most of the aftermarket windshields are big!
I wish CalSci or Parabellum made one for the Yager...
