More mods - wind defection for feet
Written by revconprince on 10/30/2010 at 11:26 pm

Now that it has started to get cold, it was time to salve the cold blast of air
blowing up my pant leg. It was a simple project. I took a piece of cardboard,
and held it up to the spot, figured out how I wanted it to go, and tore off
junks until the shape as correct. Once I had the shape correct, I used that as a
pattern to cut out a piece of Acrylic. With a paint stripper gun, a stick,
leather gloves, and a ton of patience, I was able to bend it to the shape I
wanted. and fit it to the bike. I found the best thing to do was to get the
bends close, then re-heat bend and put it on the bike, this allowed it to cool
the proper shape. I may reheat them and flare them out more, but here is how
they look.

And from the back of the bike:

They do make a huge difference in how cold my legs get while riding. not too
hard to do, but took a long Sunday afternoon.
