More mods - wind defection for feet
Written by dave_hiett on 10/31/2010 at 03:35 am

Something that works very well for me - short bungee chords. Seals off those
pantlegs very well. But looks like you had fun doing this, and it looks like
you are set for winter! Thanks for sharing your project.

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.
