Subject: Double windshield
I took the original screen and horizontally cut off a piece which is 13 cm
high, then I cut off the edges of this pieces to a round shape (that for "optic
reasons" only. You can then mount the silicone frame around the new piece - the
metal-capped ends will stand about 6 to 8 cm from each other on the downside of
this piece.
The wooden triangle-shaped pieces (for test reasons I*%m now preparing them from
acryl) must have an angle of 23 degrees (see the article). I took 15 mm wood
and made a 100 mm line on it. On the one end of the line I made a 15 mm long
line in a square angle, on the other end of the line I made a 57,5 mm long line
in a square angle. The ends of both lines have to be connected with a circular
line, as this piece has to fit the second shield. I used a piece of lead to get
the vetrical angle from the screen and used this piece of lead as a lineal for
connecting the two lines. Then you can use a saw and prepare two of these
triangles, the 100 mm long line will fit with its straight line to the five
stars windshield.
The best mounting in my opinion is when the upper end of the second screen is
above 10 mm under the upper end of the windshield, but it belongs to your
personal height.
It might be that I have to adjust the triangles from acryl a bit more, since
they will not be as soft as the wood and might fit not as good in the first
trial, but I think it will be worth the work. For the "real" mounting I will
drill two holes in each traingle and use bolt screws.
The bike looks a bit strange after this modification - but it works.
