Thanks for the details on the vents, that will come in quite handy.
I did not get the picture of the colour scheme though?
Hopefully this week will give some time for the windshield!
Thanks again.

Windshield completed
Finally I have the windshield completed. Had the piece of Perspex bent at plastic sign shop, using the mold I made earlier.
Cut it to size this morning and fitted. I also made a half size in case I want something lower later.

Dale, Thanks. As soon as I had taken this photo, the weather started building up and it seems as if its going to start raining soon. I was ready for a test drive and its now back in the garage waiting for tomorrow!
I need to find a good bike song somewhere!Comment

...bike just keeps getting better and better! AWESOME JOB, ANDRE!!!
I had emailed back and forth some years ago with Craig Vetter, and couldn't resist sending him a note with a link to this thread (this morning). I wouldn't be at all surprised if he poked his head in here at some point - nice, down to earth guy, he is. I have no doubt that he'll be incredibly impressed with your fine work when he sees it, Pal!
Enjoy!Comment

Most of the credit for this job really goes to the members of this forum as mentioned earlier in this thread. Without them it would never have happened and without this forum I would never have been acquainted with them.
Then all the positive comments helped to keep me motivated, as at times I wondered if I had not bitten off more than I could chew!
So thanks to all of you that helped me physically or inspirational, without you it would not have been possible.
If anyone ever contemplates doing something like this themselves, first have some tests done to see if you have not had a mental relapse! If your shrink says you are OK and you still think you want to, you are welcome to contact me if you need more specifics on how I did something.
Thanks again to all.Comment
