I'm not real proud of this - rxter - 07-12-2010

With a title like that this had better be good eh?

Well, they don't call me the Rube Goldberg of the West Coast for nothing boys. I'd like to officially roll out the Joe's Garage windscreen. It's fully custom 100% genuine ingenuity. Works as advertised and easy on your wallet (about $8 in materials).

Granted it ain't pretty, but not all of us can afford to powder coat everything in site.

The whole project exceeded my expectations. Started off just goofing around. Moved to prototyping in about 10 minutes. Took it for a test drive and it worked way better than it has any right to, so it's received a semi-permanent status.

I hope that I don't get black listed from Design1 for fouling such an otherwise beautiful work of art. Clearly the Concourse circuit is off my to do list [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

Looking forward to the feedback (ducking).

You must be the same guy that designed the rag top for the Speedster I used to own back in the day. Seriously, if it works good there is always time to make it pretty later

Its not too bad. Maybe you can get a roll 1/8" leather and just spiral it around the bar and through the screen (maybe get the screen leather bound with holes in the binding?). Or if nothing else evenly space the zip ties and turn them so you don't see the latching end.

Nice video BTW. HAHA
