Ruckus windshield
« Thread Started on Jul 14, 2007, 1:10pm »

This windshield is a Slipstream, 15 x 17 inches, fits real nice and makes the scooter look even greater.

I made it myself, it's just a piece of lexan. I made a template out of cardboard and clamped it on the bike till i found a shape i thiought looked good, it works very well and keeps my hands warm in the cold. as a rule of thumb i studied a friends windshield on a gold wing and he says that he can see over his windshiel so i followed that, i can see over mine by about 3" while sitting layed back on the seat, the angle of the shield pushes the air up nicely and i usually ride with a baseball cap on to keep the sun out of my eyes, stays on good even at 70 mph, just when there are gusty side winds i find it a little hard to keep on but i don't think any windshield would help with that;-)

Looks great and is a great fit for the bike. I have a really small screen on my Ruckus, but if I rode a Big Ruckus, I'd want exactly the screen you have.

Thanks!!!
It came out better than i thought it would, it wasn't that hard to do.

Thanks,
Would you like to make a custom for your self?

i

well, find some (or a bunch)of flat pieces of cardboard from big boxes, sketch out a shape, find a centaer line and fold it in half, cut it out and hang it on the bike with clothes pins and sticks in the approximate position, have a drink and see how it looks to you. I used a long piece of wood like a yard stick and just shoved it down in the front and held it with spring clamps, i thought my first design looked like a bell but the more I looked at it, it looked like my neighbor, (@#*$ head), but i decided that the soft curves didn't match the rest of the bike and went for a more chopy, stealth style that kind of had the same amout of ugly attitude as the rest of the bike. if you have some simple shop tools and can dril, tap, and sand i can help you make one if you wish.
