    Was there a bong involved in the construction of your new windscreen? :D

    Many of us who did the Cabo 1000 ended up with spare face shields on the stock windscreen- this was back before Zero Gravity was making any of their double-bubble or sport touring windscreens

    Kudos! (love the black tape)

    did that top box come off your Honda SL350? Nice, and metal too- authentic :lol3

    that said I always like people who don't give a shit about how their bike looks- as long as it works!

    Why does everyone use USPS tape for mock-ups?

    You are awesome! I have lots of little repurposed bits on my bike, but you are the Kung-Fu master. :nod I apparently have an aesthetic line I'm not willing to cross, you rode over it at 80 MPH laughing! I love it! Keep it up.

    I dig the eyebrows on the windscreen. That is a touch I would have left out/missed. :freaky Sheesh, they're even functional!

    Dear Dynodave !

    Thats really wrong but - its just soooooo damn cool.

    I like your "way" to get a good solution - ahm form follows function.

    Really different and really nice :clap

    Greetings

    cause you can steal an entire roll or two with ease most post offices have it sitting out away from the counter...


    don't ask me how I know this :rofl

    Helios - no, and no.

    geometrician - Thanks. I was going to leave the USPS tape on there but it was just too damn fugly. The top box came from the deep bowels of my dungeon.

    kirb - USPS tape is strong.

    viola-tor - I found the aesthetic line I'm not willing to cross, after riding for 2 days without the black tape. The USPS tape was just too much.

    TTRider - Thanks.

    nevermind - It's function over form for me every time! More proof is the closable vent shown here:

    Thanks Erik500.

    I attended a large(full) advanced MSF class, full of spit polished sport bikes, with my shield as is.

    My bike had mud on it.

    That's OK, as I wouldn't ride with any of those dorks anyway.

    I say we make this a sticky & re-title the thread, "I Don't Care What She Looks Like She's Mine"

    I'd venture a guess too your bike cost the most of any rat bike out there! That's what I'm talking about!!!

    always love a dirty bike...
