Great job. Those look professionally done and solid. There is nothing more satisfying than something you made yourself and are proud of.

I made these out of Plexiglas.

they would crack easy, so i made new ones out of Lexan.

With a notch for the engine guard.
I hope they hold up a little better.

Dang near looks like you took the shield and lowers off a C90.

Well done!

Thank you Sirs! To answer an earlier post, I haven't noticed a big drop in my mileage but I have noticed a big increase in my smileage. I'm much warmner now without that infernal
updraft under the windshield.
