Great job! I did two of them. The first one really went south on me. Whatever you do, don't apply compressed air or anything else to make it cool faster! Let it cool down on it's own. My first attempt split right down the crease when I took the shop air to it. PING! Thanks for the upload. Instant Like!
@@RideAMAP Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. 😁 We shall try to make our precious lady (04 Honda VTX 1330C named Salli) a windshield. 😁
Nice video sir and tankyou for the upload. I remember doing exactly the same thing you where taking about in workshop classes at school. So school wasn't a compete waste of time. Keep up the good work and best wishes all the way from the UK.
Looks good. This vid reminds me of the first time I made a windscreen. A friend told me to put the plexi in the oven for a few min to heat soak the whole thing and be able to mold it faster. All that did was ruin a piece of plexi and smell horrible. I didn't melt it off the rack but it put lines from the rack evenly spaced across the windscreen. So it became a prototype.
hey buddy I have been looking for a DIY windshield for my WR250r Man This was a awesome idea ,and great job,,looks sweeeeeeet can't wait to try and make one,,ride safe my motorcycle brother ,,,liked ( thumbs up )
Great job bro, I’m about to do one of these for my DR 650. What blade did you use in the table saw. I know I can do my cleanest cuts with the tablesaw, so that’s probably what I’m going to use
lol High school shop classes. Come on, schools don't have those anymore. All those tools are "dangerous". Thanks for the video though. I've been wanting to make a better windscreen for my bike. Looks like it's pretty simple and I should just get off my duff and make it.
Tell me about it, I teach middle School and tried to get the powers that be let me do a simple woodshop class and no too dangerous. So sad. None of the new young kids know how to work with their hands
Cool plan. I'm 5' 10". There is some buffeting at highway speeds. If you go taller that should help. I've thought of putting some small holes to fix it or reshaping the lower sides more narrow like the BMWs are
Good job on the dyi. I just wish your instructions were front and center instead of the music. I was drawn to your vid to hear what you experienced in the process of fabrication. It would've been nice if you were as loud and clear as the music and the music was not there at all. The extra noise was unnecessary. Having said that, you put yourself out there and tried to help your fellow riders. For that, I say thanks.
Ride AMAP hang in stop being so defensive, your video was good the music is fine but was hard to understand you with the volume/level of it, if it was more back ground music and at a different slightly lower volume it would be easier to hear you talking that’s all. In fact a few people said the same thing.... something to consider to help make your videos even better ..... that’s all!
Ride AMAP offcourse. Nothing bad about the vid, but I think the genuine mc guy wanna hear you spek and explain. I am in the same process as you where, but different. It was ment to be a good critisism.
@@RideAMAP clearly, haha! By the way I do like the music, so considering you have good taste in music and bikes, we won't report you to the fashion poolice. 🤣🎵👌
I've had two factory windshield break and be able to cut anyone in my 30 years of riding. So apparently plexiglass is the norm. Never heard of lexan. Sounds cool
@@RideAMAP you can lay lexan on a concrete floor and hit it with a hammer and it won't break it's a little more expensive than plexiglass but you don't have to worry about it breaking.... they use it in race cars .... when it gets up to 200 to 250 degrees you can mold it a whole lot easier than plexiglass ....I put it in the oven and shaped it into windshields ...
There must be a library of music for you tubers who are confused about what they are attempting to do called, Annoying Music To Annoy The Hell Out Of Your Viewers And Make Them Switch Off.
Waka Waka Waka, then, A Muppet I am. Every tv and movie has music with their talking. Do you think that your opinion is going to make me change something? I do what I like, if you don't like it, find another video. Waka Waka Waka.

That's great info. Thanks for letting others know
the music spoilt the video
duncan miller Spoiled?
Either one. Both are correct (spoilt more often heard in England).
Jimmy Zelski cool, thanks
"Life" by Maz - very nice.
@MegaMrblackguy, I did.
Awesome video. I am wondering after some ride time has passed, how has the windshield held up?
Held up for years and thousands of miles. It's still on there to this day
@@RideAMAP Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. 😁 We shall try to make our precious lady (04 Honda VTX 1330C named Salli) a windshield. 😁
Nice work you did there! Thinking about doing one myself too. Is 2 mm thickness good enough?
That's a good question. If you give to the correct shape it may work fine. Mine is as thick as the original stock shield
Nice video sir and tankyou for the upload.

Thank you and Yes, those hands on classes from school have served me well. English classes not so much.

Yep, one of those live and learn moments.
I stop for the music. Now I learned how to make a wind shield for a bike I don't have.
Hey 2021 here,Great video.🤔 just wanted to ask what was the dimension of the plexi glass before you cut it to shape? I like the final size
Talk about crappy grammar
Wow that looks pretty professional. Good job.
Thanks. The thumbnail is of the second version
hey buddy
I have been looking for a DIY windshield for my WR250r
Man This was a awesome idea ,and great job,,looks sweeeeeeet
can't wait to try and make one,,ride safe my motorcycle brother ,,,liked ( thumbs up )
Thank you. Get a good cardboard fit first. Any kinks in the cardboard design are magnified in the final product. Happy making time motorcycle brother
@Alaskan did you ever do this on your 250R? I'm looking to do the same, any tips would be welcome.
Nice job, works like a charm! Great DIY project!
Thank you. I just like making stuff that I can use that don't cost a lot.
Nice one, I am on Holiday tomorrow and my 690 needs better wind protection so I'm gonna have a go.
Excellent! Wish I had a 690, those are awesome
Very nice. I really don't want to spend $100 for a Parabellum.
Robert Hedrick thank you
Great job bro, I’m about to do one of these for my DR 650. What blade did you use in the table saw. I know I can do my cleanest cuts with the tablesaw, so that’s probably what I’m going to use
The DR650 is a great bike! I've ridden one extensively in CO/UT.
I used just a regular wood cutting blade, I just cut slowly.
Best of luck.
Ride AMAP I’m in AZ myself, loving it so far. Thanks for the advice, my blade is brand new right now so perfect time to do this
Very good idea I like it. Did you ever think of using Lexan it does not brake like plexi glass for safety it cost more but hate to see you get cut.
Ah, good idea. I'll have to see if the local stores carry it
Dude!!! Awesome
What is this screen made of ?
Plexiglass. You can buy it at any home improvement store...aka...KLR parts store. Just kidding
good stuff man. I've been thinking about getting a more forward angled shield and this would solve the problem of trying to shop for one
The second one I made I used the cowl bolts I pointed out and the vibration went way down. It's pretty darn secure. That's the one in the thumbnail.
I have been thinking about making one for the XR. Old door make great work tables. I have something coming up that I think you may like. stay safe
I'll be waiting, but knowing your sense of humor, it will probably be cardboard duct taped to your handle bars
Ride AMAP I think it will be something you will like for yalls trip. stay safe

If the plastic is small enough to fit , you can place it in your oven & heat the whole sheet & mold it into any shape you WANT
WICKEDLEE LOOPY Excellent suggestion
How tall are you? Any buffeting? I’m going to try a plastic barrel I have - it’s free.
Cool plan. I'm 5' 10". There is some buffeting at highway speeds. If you go taller that should help. I've thought of putting some small holes to fix it or reshaping the lower sides more narrow like the BMWs are
I wonder how an acrylic or polycarb sheet would turn out 🤔
Not sure. I've never worked with them.
good info man
sir plz write the names of material required...itll b a pleasure.plz
kedi Tetso I used Plexiglass, a cutting wheel, but any saw will do and a heat gun to bend the Plexiglass. I used cardboard for the template.
Nice work. Thickness of plexiglas ?
1/8, maybe 3/16th. I'll have to verify
Video is really helpful. Just hard to follow what you're saying with that music masking your voice.
Impressive! And nice music!
Thank you
4:10 damn them crocs
Beautiful 🏍🇨🇷
looks great!
Thank you. I was really pleased with the outcome
Muy buen trabajo
Gracias. No me gusta a pagar por coisas que poso hacer.
Nice! I'm going to have to try this.. all though I don't have a hear gun :/
got mine on amazon for less than 20. Ive made several now
Cool stuff
Thank you. When you free for a ride?
+Ride AMAP (As Much As Possible) I hope soon!!

Future Racer TV project? ;)
Don't think so, I like the suspension travel and eros of this bike too much.
Why the music????
Mike Bee Go find a movie or tv show that doesn't have music.
It's my video. I like music, you don't, find another video.
Ride AMAP hang in stop being so defensive, your video was good the music is fine but was hard to understand you with the volume/level of it, if it was more back ground music and at a different slightly lower volume it would be easier to hear you talking that’s all.

looks like we are the only 2 that have done this for youtube
sounds good to me
Thanks men
damnit that came out good!! 👌👌
Thanks man. For a free one, I was pretty pleased.
are you taking orders? haha
LOL, I already have 2 side jobs
What's a 3rd then?
Coaching volleyball for two different schools
dude, what is up with the music? it makes it incredibly hard to hear you talking.
Guess it depends on which audio system you are using.
Turn the music down ;I can't hear you.
Congratulation!
cool :)
Thank you.
Please remove the music.
Can't hear anything due to loud, bad music
nice crocks bruh! lmao lol
Thank's man!
Drop the music....?
It ruins the vid...
Your opinion
Ride AMAP offcourse.
Nothing bad about the vid, but I think the genuine mc guy wanna hear you spek and explain.
I am in the same process as you where, but different.
It was ment to be a good critisism.
Would be good without the reggae music. Nothing against it, it would just be easier to hear your voice.
Early video. I got much better software for editing later
Sorry but I just can't get past the socks with Crocks! 🤣🤣
I'm all about the fashion
@@RideAMAP clearly, haha! By the way I do like the music, so considering you have good taste in music and bikes, we won't report you to the fashion poolice. 🤣🎵👌
@@anthonybaiocchi3028 I wish I could put my actual music up. This is the UA-cam free stuff that isn't copy righted.
That KLR is a good one.
agree
Thanks
MacGyver!!
LOL! That was my nick name in high school/College.
Did your neighbors report you for a mental health check?
@@torrentsofnothing2928 thanks for... Well, nothing. My grammar's pretty solid.
:( can't here you
Don't use plexiglass..... when it breaks it'll cut you big time..... use lexan
I've had two factory windshield break and be able to cut anyone in my 30 years of riding. So apparently plexiglass is the norm.
Never heard of lexan. Sounds cool

Also it doesn't scratches EZ's plexiglass

It people who watch don't have enough focus to cut through the distraction.
Next time loose the music
Hard to hear you over the crappy music thumbs down
Oh NO! My life is over! Your opinion means soooooo much to me, how ever can I make it up to you complete stranger with a keyboard and crappy speakers
Only muppets put music over their talking. Ruined the viewing of the video.
