More mods - wind defection for feet
Written by bobb_todd on 10/31/2010 at 02:16 am

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.
....................
If you decide to make another set, I'd buy them. Or the first ones.

Wind blows up my pant legs on the PC like no other bike I've owned
