nicksta43 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Thank you! That helps a ton. I really liked the look of how the OP did it with how the screen angle matches the angle of the bodywork better. But now that I see yours I like that equally as well. Given that I have a Givi mount I can try it both was and see which gives better laminar air flow. I can also try my homemade shorty that I ran last summer. Hurry up and get here summer! https://preview.ibb.co/fh7muk/IMG_20160904_193940442.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbeau Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I might try this with my ebay double bubble. What kind of tools are we using to cut these up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suncoaster Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I cut mine with one of those vibrating tools and a semi circular serrated blade. It took a while, but was perfect for the job. Otherwise it was either going to be a hacksaw (too slow and too hard to keep straight) or circular saw with large toothed blade (too fast, chance of screen breakage). Marked the line using a curve from another screen. Finished it off with a bastard file and sandpaper, then painted the rear black. My main aim was to get rid of the horns which I reckon produce vortices and turbulence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I might try this with my ebay double bubble. What kind of tools are we using to cut these up? Jigsaw, fine blade, base of saw covered with masking-tape to prevent scratching the screen, define cutting-line with more masking-tape.
