I used my old windshield to make larger Fairing and Fork Air Deflectors.
They did help reduce airflow around the windshield.

I also made a black acrylic plate holder with an added LED brake light bar.
The light bar is a lot brighter than the fender brake light!

I like the front deflectors, and I threw away an old Clearview Shield.  uglystupid2

Maybe this is a better pic of the fairing deflector.


And Fork Deflector Cutout to clear the Fender Mount Bolt.
BTW these Deflectors made use of the windshield curved surface...All of the Deflector's Curved Surfaces Face Forward to Clear the Pods...I think that also helps move the air past the riding space.

I've been tossing around the idea of adding some fairing deflectors also, but I have the I/S Bakers mounted on the radiator pods and the two interfere. I have too many other projects going at the moment so guess it will have to wait.
