Marthy 22" windscreen light tint


I agree, at least they're fixing it and quick! But I can't sell something that I won't pay or put on my own bike... It's just the way I am.

I had my whole weekend booked for this project... well I have everything ready to build 2 exhaust... might get that done now so I can post them on ebay or something like that...
 
Sorry... I tough I posted... I should get them this Tuesday. I will try to make a few during the week but they will all be done by next weekend. I was hoping to get them so bad for the weekend...

I will shipped them as they get done. West Coast will be shipped first for obvious reasons... everyone should get them soon!

By the way, the light tint were on the very light tint side... kind of too light. The new batch will be exactly the same color as mine.
 
Screen received!!! Looking good also. I will be working late every evening to get them out ASAFP!!! Sorry again for the delay... If everything work as plan they should be all out by Friday. I'll try to ship some tomorrow am... hopefully I won't run into any problem.

Thanks again for your patience!!!

Good news! Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
 
Hey Marthy, don't forget a couple of pics of the new tint for people like me who can't afford one yet.

I will... I will...

Hopefully I'm gonna get better and quicker on the last 9 of the batch!!!:(

Now I remember why I didn't really want to get into screen at the first place... but I'm a man of challenge! Just a lot of work!!! I'll do those 10 and think about it...

Going back to work now... brake is over! :eek:
 
Here we finally go... Windscreen #1 done! Look really good, the best I made so far! I like the way It goes around the mirrors without rubbing on the fairing like my other ones. I will give it a test drive in the morning...

For some reason :((( that I don't need to explain... I need to keep this one... :( I'll make sure the other ones don't crack from the holes to the edge...

By the way... those little plastic screws won't cut it! The screen is 3/16" thick. I will suggest you some Stainless Steel or Aluminum screws. Can't remember the length... I will let you know tomorrow.

Now back to work!
 
Yeh...thats look'in real good.
I thought the tint would be lighter, not that I'm complaining, just say'in. I like the darker tint.

I didn't like the light tint... too light. So I made the decision to go with dark tint instead.. look much better, I agree.:thumbup:

I think it will look great... and I imagine even at night I can look over it while riding? or through in heavy traffic to cut some glare

That's gonna look sharp on the Raven!

and it looks like ebay has the screws left and right...

but please let us know a size so we can get them on order... it'd kill me to see that awesome windscreen sitting in the corner waiting on screws... :)

Ok. Stock plastic screws are 14mm long. Anywhere from 18mm should be good. I also add little washers so I don't spin the screws directly on the screen.

Those screws should work... look good. But you should buy them local, made in USA! LOL

The screen work great. I bet it's even better with the stock handlebar. I'm sitting quite upright and it's good, but if I just move a bit down/forward it's very good.

I forgot I had a dinner tonight... down grade it for a drink after dinner. A lot of work ahead... :thumbup:

Well... on the 4th one I got it right!!! Fit great. So the first one should be shipped tomorrow.

What a pain to get it right!!! The first 3 end up not as good as I wanted. I might be able to fix them up a little better.

Now, who's want the first??? On the process on getting the jig and clamp all settle right, this screen end up popping out the jig. On the inside there's a little scratch (not visible from the outside) It look more like a rub...

Personally I won't care, it might get scratch on the first road trip following someone. But I prefer letting you know.
 
Martin,

I'll take the scratched one, I'm getting it to catch bugs and block wind, so a little scratch won't bother me.

Great Don! Shipping it in the morning... :thumbup:
 
Look like I might have 60% success with the first batch of screen. What a learning experience! 1 shipped, 3 in the box ready to ship. In the process of finishing the last 2 that were ordered/payed for.

So I will end up with 3 screens that are not as perfect as I wanted. I can probably save the less worst and use it on my ride. For the other two... will see.

I did notice with the one I made last night that one the screen lay there and "relax" it lost some of his curve. So I kind of put duck tape over the wrapping to keep them into shape. The first time you will install it on your bike. Screw one side first. Make sure the screen is again the fairing, especially the rear screw. On the second side you might have to muscle it in... It will go! (I double check) Again, make sure it's again the fairing... and everything will be fine. Leave the bike facing the sun on the first day... that will fix it.

Ok, brake finish.... back to work!
 

All done! All the 22" windscreen that were pre-ordered and payed are ready to go. I will send them out first thing in the morning on Tuesday. Hope you like it! I gave it my best shot!

So from the original 10... 2 didn't survive... I was able to fix one up and is available at discount price if one of you is not too picky. And I salvage another one for myself. Got the jig all sort out by now. If I decide to make some more, things should be a little easier.

Not sure yet about the second batch... I really like this screen, best I made so far. Let's see what the official review says...
