Air Stream on knees

[bucfan11]

For that spot on your knees that gets all of the air, rain, cold, heat and bugs. I added a 1/8" x 2.5" x 4.5" piece of tinted acrylic, bent it, used double sided tape to install it behind the upper wind wings. It has eliminated 99% of the air stream the hit you in the knees. I'll take it back off and make some more cuts for symmetry but it works excellent. Total cost...$5.00

I was having a conversation yesterday with a Spyder friend and he said he uses knee pads to help out with the cold knees issue. Good idea! Now just to find some chrome knee pads.

That looks really nice on there! How do you go about bending the plastic? Do you just heat it and bent it over a piece of wood or?

 

Hope you're enjoying your georgeous new bike!

Used a heat gun and the handle of a breaker bar to bend it around.
