Bat wing on a Gs?

[Lorenzo]

Sooner, the development, is bound to slow down, until a method for a fitting enabling to change the incidence of the screen to the rest of the fairing; in should ideally be done on the kerbside, with no tools and possibly leaving a small gap where they meet;

if anyone can contribute with a pic or better a simple drawing, will be much appreciated.

Thanks

This old thread, one of many by steveinpa describing his windshield mods on the cx500 forum, may be of interest to you.

Thanks DaveR

Very neat and simple solution slotting the screen to vary the height;
I was more convolutely, thinking of having, say three different screens for varying the height, but this implementation is clever.

The other thing I was thinking to, was how to make it more or less inclined to the vertical, with maybe a swivelling hinge; but we'll see.

A possible fault that came to my mind, watching the thread is: the outside of the headlight I made is tight fitting and round, in a way that restricts the cone of the projected light. A flared outer surround will improve on this but will dictate the shape of the headlight cover, which I was thinking of making a rounded ogival one (almost like a fishbowl), instead this will have (if any) to be flat.

Mmh...

Very neat. I admire your skills. I like that it gives touring bike protection but can be removed without rewiring. It appears to offer much better hand protection than any of the windshields/fairings currently available, OEM or aftermarket.

I've used a Plexifairing. They work OK. They did not make the front end of my GS twitchy or unstable, like a similar fairing did on another bike I own. For me, an electric vest is the best way to keep my hands and feet warm.

This is the shield that came with my GS850G when I got it. I never would have bothered buying one, but after using this I can imagine all my future bikes will at least have one on back-up! The difference in cool weather riding is insane, and it doesn't hinder my vision or make for rough handling. This on is the "Turbo" model
