what does the middle part come from?
Top is a used helmet visor, bottom is the bike... middle part has me guessing.

That's clever. How does it do with just the laminar lip?

I find that I can get under the wind with a mild tuck on my LeMans. Can you describe the wind feel a bit?

How about a pic showing the whole bike for better perspective?

So sad that the cute little black dog down the street ended up a seat cover. :cry:

So much "Guzzi content".

One of the preferred four wheelers for the extravagance-challenged. The car-roach of the post apocalypse... The Cherokee.

Fuzzy seat cover (black sheep?) as a concession to the luxury expense of "magic beads".

Nylon panniers.

And the re-puposed helmet visor.

Kudos!

That is an interesting mod. I'm trying to figure out what stops the helmet visor bit from swiveling with air pressure on it.

Visors only flip up from wind. Since he mounted it upside down, it cannot move.  :evil:

Obviously, I am spouting total nonsense.

I'm still curious though:  Where is the wind pocket with just the laminar lip? Where is it with the visor-mod?
