Hi all,
These are the first real pics I have taken of my scoot. I designed and fabricated a custom windscreen similar to the Corbin Trim Tab and also some hand wind deflectors. Here are some pics.

Man you have some serious skills! Looks good, how's it work?

Breeze · 03-27-2006, 01:50 PM

Thanks, It keeps the wind off my chest, but when I wear my shorty helmet, the wind buffeting hits right at my forehead at an accelerated rate. That's normal, I guess. I may add a couple of strips of side moulding near the top to help break up the laminar flow. I made it out of a tall plastic waste basket from Wal Mart, then painted it with OEM paint and clear coat form Color Rite and trimmed with door edge guards from Pep Boys. The mounts are grounding clamps and aluminum flat stock from Home Depot.

Not my taste but you did a nice job. Is that fleck I see in the paint?

Breeze · 03-27-2006, 04:27 PM

It is the OEM paint from Color Rite. Called Pearl Deep Blue.

That is sweet. Beats paying the corbin price I bet.

The Teach · 03-27-2006, 05:24 PM

That was a waste basket???? Wow man, that's pretty damn MacGyverish if ya!! Very cool indeed.
