Made some mods to the new scooter with the story (to my bride) that its due to the Seattle weather, and couldn't be helped. Truth be told, it was a lot of fun - it's only money. . .

Wow, I REALLY love that aluminum windscreen!!!

 

[El Toro]

Interesting. I like the idea of the screen but for me it looks too tall.

I also like the idea of bar end mirrors but in the past I've found they aren't good enough for me.

I like the grips and can though.

 

[ELVISTO]

Welcome TD looks great, nice job you've made of the screen

 

[Numbercruncher]

Nice grips. Those the Biltwell 7/8"?

[toona-dave]

Yep. With heat demon heated grip sheets underneath.

You've got a good eye for detail, TD. The diamond-grid pattern on seat, grips, and muffler screens pulls it all together.

 

[toona-dave]

Thanks! Somebody once said "What separates us from the lower creatures, is that we can accessorize"

 

[Andrew Tyrtania]

Hi there, did you make that screen or is it readily available?

 

[ELVISTO]

Welcome to the forum Andrew, I think he made it himself , nice job too,

 

[toona-dave]

Thanks for the confidence Elivisto, but it is made by Rizoma. It's supposed to go on a BMW Nine T. The brushed aluminum finish matches the fenders perfectly. I had to drill a couple of holes and reshape the brackets with a hammer, but it was easy (half a beer job). You can turn the banjo bolt on the brake reservoir and route the cables in behind it.

 

[ELVISTO]

And here's me thinking how smart you are

 

[toona-dave]

Is that what we on this side of the pond would refer to as "British humor" . . . . . ?

 

[ELVISTO]

Possibly no offence meant though

 

[greer]

Your bike looks great, toona-dave!

Grip warmers are always one of my first mods. Do you mind to tell me where you tied in for switched power? Thanks.

After finding a flat battery twice after work (I forget to turn them off, )I changed out the direct battery hookup by splicing into the USB wires under the seat. Easy to get to and ID. I'm not an electrically talented sort of person.

 

[greer]

Me either, that's why I thought I'd better ask. And I know all about waking up to a dead battery, so it's switched power from now on. Lots of times I'll tie into the license plate light, I'll take a look at that, too. Thanks again.

How does the windscreen cut down on the wind on the highway? Is it effective, or is it more for looks?

 

[toona-dave]

Surprisingly well. It makes a huge difference on long highway travel days. Subsequent to my adaptation of a BMW 9T wind sreen, the folks at Rizoma now have the same screen with their own mounting brackets specific to the Scrambler.

Hi

Where did you get the mounting brackets or did you make them yourself?

Do you have any drawings perhaps?

If not is it possible to get more pictures of the brackets?

THANKS
