Motorcycle Hand Wind Deflectors version 2.1

Step 6: Mount the shield

Install the brackets on the mirror mounts and hold up the shield to the position you prefer.
Mark the 2 bracket holes on the shield with a Sharpie, drill and mount.

I think they look pretty clean and professional.
Windshields for my hands...nice!

Love this one. Followed the instructions in 2010 and have been very happy with the windshields ever since. My only issue is that the tightness of the bolts for the mirrors are affected which changes their position--so I may need to get better mirrors!

My mirror bolts/nuts have enough play in them that this was not a problem for me.

This is a great instructional. I'll be building one of these for my V-max.

Nice Job.

Thanks for sharing.

I have ones mounted on my C50, that cost a whole lot more, and I don't think they do a whole lot of good. It looks like these might have a bit better coverage and sure do save a whole lot of money, sure is worth a try. Thanks for the info.

First I want to thank you for this write up and how to, they look awsome and sure beats paying $90.00 for a pair, i am in the process of making a set for my vtx1300 just have a question, how far up did you go on your bend was it a 1" or 2" or ??? just wasn't sure how far up i should go for the bend, and thanks again for sharing your idea this helps alot.

I forget exactly.
The key was/is to make a cardboard template for the plexi to refine the size for your particular bike and then you can also adjust the location of the bend.

Excellent write-up. This is Exactly what I had in mind for my bike. Gloves only work so much, and I ride 50 miles a day- regardless of weather... I'm thinking of using Black Lexan, and making more of a bell shape to come around the clutch and brake levers to more encompass my hands

[marple200]

I've just recently been thinking about trying a slightly different shape, as well. I'll post those if I do.

 Smart and tidy, well done!

Very nicely done!  I've been looking for a par from my Stratoliner, but i may end up making my own after seeing this. Thank you for sharing your project.
