I also noticed the canopy developed a crack where you drilled the hole. Here's a tip I learned when drilling plexiglass or acrylic: Use a blow torch to pre-heat your drill bit (don't overdo it, doesn't need to be red hot), put the drill on high speed, but apply bare minimum of pressure. If the hole still develops a crack later on, - drill a tiny hole in the crack's path using the same method, file it smooth, then fill it with acrylic glue or epoxy. This will keep it from spreading.
Just don't use very expensive drill bits, because the heat may destroy the hardening. Of course, expensive drill bits aren't necessary on plexiglass anyway.
People like you ought to be given funding and workshops with all the tools you need because I am pretty sure people as skilled motivated and smart as you will save the world.
Awesome job! I was surprised to see that you went ahead and fully filled most of the gaps near the front and back, I thought you were just going to make the upper bubble and call it a day, but you went above and beyond to fill it with custom form fitted pieces for pretty much a perfect fit. My biggest question after seeing this though, is what would happen in the event of an accident, would this be any more dangerous because you may get caught in the roof when trying to bail or separate from the bike.
Fact is motorcycles already have very effective gyros - wheels and crankshaft. Point being you would need a heavy weight gyro to stabilize much more than it already is... Might as well put two more wheels on it and call it a car, which is no fun anymore.
I would have gone to experimental aircraft/glider/soaring enthusiasts and asked how they create custom canopies for their aircraft. I had a home built glider I purchased from another glider pilot and its canopy looked like it had been formed rather simply with out too many complex curves, similar to your final design solution. Your creation reminds me of various science fiction "Egg Shaped" vehicles. As far as the crosswind comments I am not sure but I think your design would actually offer less air resistance than a rider without the canopy. It would interesting to see the difference on a longer trip between how much fuel you use with the canopy and without it. I am guessing your canopy actually increases fuel economy and top speed. Thank you for sharing all your hard work and successes along with all the failures it took to get to the final success. May you continue to create things that bring you and others joy.
I work in construction and it’s a pleasure to see you work. No hassle or fuss. From steelworks to electrical full house. Congratulations HBM. The man is a machine.
Great project! A couple thoughts why vacuum machine might not work properly: 1. Heated sheet must be moved and vacuumed very quickly, like in a second. As soon as sheet touches cold surface it freezes solid almost instantly. Possible solutions: preheat the mold, build a scissors mechanism to move sheet down uniformly and use softer thicker seals. Drop the sheet, valve, shhhh... done! 2. As you already mentioned, vacuum tanks should be several times bigger than the overall mold volume. Using a tank of the same volume as the mold basically means you will get -0.5 bar equalized pressure as soon as you open the valve. 3. Someone also mentioned plastic should be dried at 80 C to evaporate all the moisture out of it to prevent bubbling. Good luck!

Hi there! Are you into Motorbike custom building, design etc? I am looking for someone who i can work with, who has a clue about frame building and/or design, to realize streamliner superbike, from the cratch one. I am tired of how the motorbike companys/manufactors managed (for almost 150 years now, since the motorbike exists), NOT to use the excellent potencial of a motorbike, in terms of economy and everyday suitability. And thats because they developed in only one direction, they see the motorbike only as a fun device, which for me its unexplainable and a huge waste of potencial. With the bikes low fraction (2 wheels) and low drag (streamliner design) they way for low fuel (battery) consumssion at high speeds, low wear of tires and the entire drive components is free. Not to mention the huge ranges that can be achieved. When u are from Western Europe and interessted about such an projekt, i would be happy when u would contact me, so that we can chat.

And glare at night when raining, needs a windscreen wiper urgently. Ever ridden with water droplets all over your helmet screen at night ? Also. what happens when you're 50 miles from home and the sun comes out and turns it into a sauna ?
Love your builds man !! you are so eccentric :) the motorcycle industry should take example from you and start build something detachable like that for every bike out there ..
That is awesome. With the cross wind, its something you'll get used to once you use it more often. The only thing I have in mind is when it stops raining and suddenly becomes sunny, you should add a way to allow airflow like you have in the helmet.
You have some great ideas. I have a number of concerns 1. What is the total weight of this canopy? 2. How would this affect the stability of the bike in strong lateral winds like you show at 16:05 3. What would ventilation be like to rid rider of excess heat in the summer, due to lack of air circulation and greenhouse effect? These are all concerns which need to be addresses before it becomes a useful accessory. Cafe racer have not solved these issues with their bull body fairings and attempts at full body cover for aerodynamics and wind/rain protection. Good luck in your endeavors and future developments. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks.
@@czarekp3552 It's literally a motorcycle with a dome over it. The only way it could be dangerous if the headwind rips it off and throws it into a car behind him. But I'm sure he thought of that too. The point is, if you make a fully encased 2 wheeler it becomes something like a Carver One. Too complicated. And he's done that also...
@@Hellfire4WD something tells me that you've never crashed on a motorcycle, if you think that it wouldn't be dangerous ro have a low or high side on this one.... this dome is a trap
@@czarekp3552 Crashing my vehicles is not an achievement I strive for. But I give you that. I would not want to stick inside that dome once the bike starts sliding, and it's probably why no manufacturer ever made one like this.
I used to work at a hot tub manufacturer. The process for creating the shell was similar. You had to heat the acrylic sheet until it was sagging like your attempt. But the mold had a large vacuum hole at the bottom. Once they had the acrylic positioned they lowerd it over the mold and turned on the vacuum system to pull the acrylic into the mold form. It is a very fast process. In this case due to the shape of your final canopy shell it would make sense to push the canopy mold into the heated acrylic.
Congratulation my friend, I passed some similar experiments and proyect with a motor's accesories for my duagther's motorcycle and some experiencing some little issues not as big than you have lived with this project. You are my best example for the life, never give up!
Bravo, amazing job!! The rain flies right off, so theres no need for a windshield wiper. I found your video by chance and watched the whole thing. You need your own show.
Huge need for a wiper once it becomes dark, every water droplet on that screen magnifies and scatters headlights, a 1000 droplets of water means 1000 lights scattered all over the screen. Hasn't anyone here ever ridden in the rain at night ?
Love how you fabricate on the fly. That’s how I work so I totally get this whole video. Just wish I had a whole shop at my disposal like this. Love this.
The last video I watched was you building a tank in your home garage. Now you have a proper workshop and brand new equipment and tool. Congrates and keep doing what you do best.
Happy to see I am not the only one how's got thing's happening when I building stuff. Sorry if my English is not perfect, as I am Dutch and never learned anything. Nicely done!!!
The Build, was so frustrating, the try and error of making the bubble cab. But still you never give up, and that's what i admire your craft. You never surrender in your idea 😎❤️
A top tip, you need to dry the plastic in oven in 80 degrees celsius for 1 hour. All plastics contain little bit water, otherwise you will have bubbles. I have molded many times and had same problems in the beginning.😊
Yeah plastics will absorb moisture from the air and when forming them if not pre-heated to slowy drive off the moiisture from the plastic it forms steam which makes it so hazy from the tiny bubbles where it is trapped.
@@jlucasound I know!that's what I'm waiting for in next video. although if you can hold cold air inside....it's like running AC with windows open. alternative is having some airflow going inside the canopy when riding, and maybe forced air when stopped at a red light
@@caseyb1346 you know in a lot of climates most of the rain is in summer and summer rainstorm are way stronger than any other time in the year. but on a more positive side, you can be soaked but you're not gonna freeze to death if it's 95F+

Excellent Fabrication Skills!!! I have to admit I was a bit sad when you couldn’t make the canopy out of one piece, but the final product was amazing considering all the compromises you had to make during construction.
Нужно было делать из прозрачной водонепроницаемой ПВХ ткани по типу само раскладывающейся палатки. Сам чехол в сложенном виде разместить сзади мотоцикла и раскладывать его от зада к переду наподобие крыши у кабриолета. Что-бы такое решение было жизнеспособным оно должно быть быстросъёмным.
А еще люто парусным в боковой проекции (по степной дороге ехать не рискнул бы - порывом сдует нахрен с дороги) и с определенными сложностями, когда нужно оглянуться назад или свеситься чуток. Но, в целом, вполне себе интересный девайс, доказывающий свое право на существование.
Airodinamik? Hangi teknolojiyle? Adam el yordamıyla yaptı. Sağ ve sol arasındaki en ufak sürtünme katsayısı farkı motosikletin dengesini tamamen bozar.
Congratulations on your widom in creating this protective compartment for a motocyclit during the rain, but something is missing is the windshield wiper. If someone had a factory to create this compartment, they woold create several for all types of motocyclet in the word!
please spare your comment because there is anti water wax, and as you can see while driving the rain water already gone while accelerating , so how gives a f**k to the wipers, idk
I dont know if this is every bikers dream, but it is 100% mine and u are my personal hero, here is why.....I dont know since when i have exactly this idea/dream, plus a lot more varitions of it, 15, maby 20 years, but i never realized it, because 1st of the lagging resorces and 2nd of the missing knowlidge. With an aerodynamic fairing (enclosed) A 2 Wheeler has an absurd amount of potencial, in terms of speed and economie, and i never, really never understood, how the big motorbike industry/manufacturer havent build jet, a aerodynamic designed, enclosed bike, so that u can drive, at an avarage speed of 250 kmh and comsume under 5l on german Autobahn, of course! And im not talking about those heavy ass 2 wheelers from Zwitzerland, which weights a ton and coasts about 100k Euro, plus they have a lean back position, which it makes by default unstable, i mean a simple, lightweight motorbike, build from the scratch, with a leaned forward position and a very low center of gravity, with an ideal aero shape (teardrop/rocket), so that it can glide thoruh the wind, like a bullet. I have an absolute passion for motorbikes and it was allways my dream to ride fast and at the same time economical. Please lets realize together such an project, which could also be electrical, thanks to the low drag. i have so many ideas!
You can't make an enclosed production motorcycle without it being ridiculously heavy for 1 simple reason, crash protection. When a manufacturer makes a vehicle it obviously has to meet certain safety standards, a fully enclosed motorcycle would have to be able to withstand big impacts so it doesn't crush the rider or trap them inside the vehicle, all these reinforcements add a lot of weight and a lot of cost which leaves you with a very expensive and very heavy vehicle. You can reduce the weight by using really lightweight materials but those are significantly more expensive which will drive up the cost even more. I know where I live the government once tried mandating crash bars which also covered the rider's legs, long story short after some crash testing they abandoned the idea because most of the results concluded that permanent leg injuries were significantly more likely since a big a hit would just crush your leg between the crash bar and the bike and probably make you an amputee, not to mention you're now being dragged across the ground by the bike and if it were to catch fire nobody will be able to get you away from the bike which means you'll get burnt alive. Now imagine the nightmare of developing a safe fully enclosed bike and you can see why they're really heavy and really expensive
If you can get this commercialized on a production line you win big time get with a chinese company and you be set ship to the world and get royalties. your skill and mindset are amazing keep up the good work!!
An excellent concept. As long as it is safe and non-obstructive. I would use it only in winter and rainy conditions - I like the wind in my face. Snow and sleet hit the face like pins and needles - this would solve that problem. The only thing, on long trips you would have to decide to take it or not - unless it was made collapsable.
If I were you, I would make a mold that doesn't need nails. Since you spent a significant amount of money on thermoforming, it was possible to make a mold in this final shape. Excellent work
Idea for you: Collapse a sports car horizontally into an enclosed motorcycle. BTW I love how you document your failures in this video. A man should be honest about his mistakes and opens himself up to criticism, comment, and critique, all of which are necessary for growth and improvement. Bravo and well done.
Great work. If you spray a water repellant like RainX and buff it into the plexiglass, this will help the water to just bead off and roll away, making for better visibility. When I use it on my vehicle windshield, the wipers are only needed for the heaviest rainfall.
Genius level manufacturing!!!! This concept is so beautiful that everyone who rides, especially in the rain, would want one. The fact that you kept at it until your idea came to full production, that is determination which gets the reward. Well done!!! Bravo!!!!
no, i ride in all weathers, rain, snow or sun! if i wanted a bike with a roof i would have brought the BMW C1! any "biker" that needs a roof to protect them from rain is no biker! they are fair weather riders only!
I also feel like the roof is gonna fuck you more in a crash than not lmao. You typically want to get off the ride as fast as possible not stuck with it.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllll, the ONE problem that came to my mind is EGRESS MODE. Like if ya have to lay down the bike to save your own life, now you are trapped on said bike with no way of emergency egress for a slide laydown. Beeen in my fair share of them, but, staying Dry or Alive ...........hmmmmmm. I pick ALIVE for sure. Trapped + more injuries, limb losses and LIFE extinguishing. Great Concept, but, the idea with IDEA'S is to come up with a viable option that enhances rider experiences. And one can always pull off in the rain and wait it out. My .02c worth.
@@rickyhaycraft2513 how about making the old tron light cycle bike? you can crash and still be in the bike. some canister can burst porous foam so you can breathe and still be totally cushioned from impact inside. few seconds after the impact the porous foam will become brittle and you can smash through and exit the bike.
@@rickyhaycraft2513 auto ejecting the cockpit might also be practical in such situation for example when the bike slipped and fell and is still slipping across the road while dragging you along, remove your hand from the handlebar which has some kind of sensor that commands the cockpit to automatically eject immediately when the hand is no longer in contact with the handlebar.. This may also allows the biker the freedom to choose and also in control to either abandon the cockpit or keep it as it is depending on the level of crash one is in As some crash may not be severe enough to eject it while losing a few more bucks just to replace it or fix it aside from other body damages like paintjob,scratch and dents. This ejection feature may also include airbag that wrapped around you and absorb most of the damage while pulling you away from the bike
I used to own a full main manufacturer production version of this concept, nearly 1/4 of a century ago. It had a crumple zone, windscreen wipers, seat belt and a full covered safety cell, which kept you almost fully dry. It was the BMW C1. This bike was able to get through traffic like a knife and at the same time keep you safe and dry. It was perfect for commuting through the heaviest of traffic and way ahead of it's time. The trouble was, it was too far ahead of it's time, it made you a laughing stock. The lads at work used to call it the Pope Mobile and you would get howls of laughter from the public you passed as you rode it. One young child even asked me if it could fly ? I couldn't take the ignominy any longer and had to sell it, so it went.
You forgot ABS and a trunk in the back! I had one, 125cc, black. Purchased 4th hand at a fraction of the original price because parents were buying for their 16yr old kids and no one wanted to drive it... it had less then 500 miles and it was 3 year old 😀
Motorcycle manufacturers have experimented with closed cockpit or roofed bikes for decades, the fact most people can't name a single one should say enough abour their success
Not only you can use it on the rain, you can use it in any weather because it also protects you from wind, dust, gravel, etc. When you park your bike, it'll protect your bike surfaces and seat from heat and sunlight exposure. And it looks good as well. I'll definitely order one from you if you make a sale from it. What a genius
when the rain stops and the sun comes out it will be hot as hell inside, also if you're not home before dark and it's still raining, without a windscreen wiper it will be a nightmare for glare due to the water on the front. It's a great little innovation but not finished yet, needs a ton more work to be versatile....
I used to imagine and draw up this exact thing when I was like 8... I look back and think about how I failed to meet my potential because of being poor af and not having the right motivators in life. I love to see these things created finally! Wish I still had the imagination and drive myself.
@@psyMeat Factories could probably find a solution to mitigate them with enough wind tunnel experiments or just computer simulations. The biggest issue is the conservative nature of the average bike buyer, they have a certain idea of what motorbikes and bikers should look like while on the road and more fairing is not on their list.
@psyMeat Crisswinds are an issue even for cars. Not much you can do about getting hit with 20mph+ winds from the side pushing you around other than being a competent and aware driver.
I used a giant industrial oven for my sign making process, heating from above until plastic can be pushed 3" down next to the frame with 3x fingers, and then into the hydraulic press with strong wooden die set type mould, so plastic didn't have to get hot enough to burn you, not too painfully anyway... but my frame was in two halves one on each side of the plastic, made of angle iron and clamped (believe it or not) by vice grips all the way around, about 36 of them.
Holy Crap! Finally a rain enclosure that's cool and functional. Bravo ...multi million dollar concept. It would really be a kllr if you could put some heat inside.
The number of years Iv dreamed of something like this. Especially if it could clip on and off for summer. It does not seem to affect the usefulness of the bike at all. Top marks.
You clearly don’t ride a bike. Stay in a car your right. Excuse me If I prefer to half my journey time though…..and park…..and not pay C zone….and stay dry like a car. It is not stupid.
@@paulcanton9827 : I have been riding bikes for 50 years. If you want to stay warm and dry then stay in your car. BTW: If you had just looked at my user name you would know that I ride a motorcycle.

I was told to counter sink the hole on both sides after drilling. I am sure the extra heat would add another level of protection from cracks.
per forare il plexiglass e' meglio usare una punta a legno piuttosto che una punta per acciaio!

@@czarekp3552 Crashing my vehicles is not an achievement I strive for. But I give you that. I would not want to stick inside that dome once the bike starts sliding, and it's probably why no manufacturer ever made one like this.
Absolutely amazing! The multidisciplinary skill set alone is above most.
Man, you have amazing hands 👍
Another amazing project. Turned out fantastic. Love your persistence in working through various problems.
I used to work at a hot tub manufacturer. The process for creating the shell was similar. You had to heat the acrylic sheet until it was sagging like your attempt. But the mold had a large vacuum hole at the bottom. Once they had the acrylic positioned they lowerd it over the mold and turned on the vacuum system to pull the acrylic into the mold form. It is a very fast process. In this case due to the shape of your final canopy shell it would make sense to push the canopy mold into the heated acrylic.
Congratulation my friend, I passed some similar experiments and proyect with a motor's accesories for my duagther's motorcycle and some experiencing some little issues not as big than you have lived with this project. You are my best example for the life, never give up!

Bravo, amazing job!! The rain flies right off, so theres no need for a windshield wiper. I found your video by chance and watched the whole thing. You need your own show.
Huge need for a wiper once it becomes dark, every water droplet on that screen magnifies and scatters headlights, a 1000 droplets of water means 1000 lights scattered all over the screen. Hasn't anyone here ever ridden in the rain at night ?
except it didnt ... u could literally see the windshield full of droplets
Love how you fabricate on the fly. That’s how I work so I totally get this whole video. Just wish I had a whole shop at my disposal like this. Love this.
A lot of work, a lot of effort and the moment of happiness that finally comes. I'm happy at the same time with you, congratulations.
The last video I watched was you building a tank in your home garage. Now you have a proper workshop and brand new equipment and tool. Congrates and keep doing what you do best.
Happy to see I am not the only one how's got thing's happening when I building stuff. Sorry if my English is not perfect, as I am Dutch and never learned anything.
Nicely done!!!
What a start to a video. I’m going to use the bike that I failed to make fly. I’m hooked and subscribed straight away!
The Build, was so frustrating, the try and error of making the bubble cab. But still you never give up, and that's what i admire your craft. You never surrender in your idea 😎❤️
A top tip, you need to dry the plastic in oven in 80 degrees celsius for 1 hour. All plastics contain little bit water, otherwise you will have bubbles. I have molded many times and had same problems in the beginning.😊
Yeah plastics will absorb moisture from the air and when forming them if not pre-heated to slowy drive off the moiisture from the plastic it forms steam which makes it so hazy from the tiny bubbles where it is trapped.

now the downside...ride in 100F+ weather with a greenhouse over your head and no airflow
@@geemy9675 Two letters. A/C.
@@jlucasound I know!that's what I'm waiting for in next video. although if you can hold cold air inside....it's like running AC with windows open. alternative is having some airflow going inside the canopy when riding, and maybe forced air when stopped at a red light

А вообще, мне кажется что помимо защиты от дождя мотоцикл стал еще более обтекаемым и аэродинамичным 👍
А еще люто парусным в боковой проекции (по степной дороге ехать не рискнул бы - порывом сдует нахрен с дороги) и с определенными сложностями, когда нужно оглянуться назад или свеситься чуток. Но, в целом, вполне себе интересный девайс, доказывающий свое право на существование.

Congratulations on your widom in creating this protective compartment for a motocyclit during the rain, but something is missing is the windshield wiper. If someone had a factory to create this compartment, they woold create several for all types of motocyclet in the word!
please spare your comment because there is anti water wax, and as you can see while driving the rain water already gone while accelerating , so how gives a f**k to the wipers, idk
This is one of the most impressive inventions I've ever seen and it's so very well crafted like it was purchased that way 👍👍
I dont know if this is every bikers dream, but it is 100% mine and u are my personal hero, here is why.....I dont know since when i have exactly this idea/dream, plus a lot more varitions of it, 15, maby 20 years, but i never realized it, because 1st of the lagging resorces and 2nd of the missing knowlidge. With an aerodynamic fairing (enclosed) A 2 Wheeler has an absurd amount of potencial, in terms of speed and economie, and i never, really never understood, how the big motorbike industry/manufacturer havent build jet, a aerodynamic designed, enclosed bike, so that u can drive, at an avarage speed of 250 kmh and comsume under 5l on german Autobahn, of course! And im not talking about those heavy ass 2 wheelers from Zwitzerland, which weights a ton and coasts about 100k Euro, plus they have a lean back position, which it makes by default unstable, i mean a simple, lightweight motorbike, build from the scratch, with a leaned forward position and a very low center of gravity, with an ideal aero shape (teardrop/rocket), so that it can glide thoruh the wind, like a bullet. I have an absolute passion for motorbikes and it was allways my dream to ride fast and at the same time economical. Please lets realize together such an project, which could also be electrical, thanks to the low drag. i have so many ideas!
Its a nightmare, get a car ig you are afraid of get wet
@@ELIZONDJ You can't lean a car into the turns or wheelie etc. Genius.
You can't make an enclosed production motorcycle without it being ridiculously heavy for 1 simple reason, crash protection. When a manufacturer makes a vehicle it obviously has to meet certain safety standards, a fully enclosed motorcycle would have to be able to withstand big impacts so it doesn't crush the rider or trap them inside the vehicle, all these reinforcements add a lot of weight and a lot of cost which leaves you with a very expensive and very heavy vehicle. You can reduce the weight by using really lightweight materials but those are significantly more expensive which will drive up the cost even more.
I know where I live the government once tried mandating crash bars which also covered the rider's legs, long story short after some crash testing they abandoned the idea because most of the results concluded that permanent leg injuries were significantly more likely since a big a hit would just crush your leg between the crash bar and the bike and probably make you an amputee, not to mention you're now being dragged across the ground by the bike and if it were to catch fire nobody will be able to get you away from the bike which means you'll get burnt alive. Now imagine the nightmare of developing a safe fully enclosed bike and you can see why they're really heavy and really expensive
If you can get this commercialized on a production line you win big time get with a chinese company and you be set ship to the world and get royalties. your skill and mindset are amazing keep up the good work!!
I'm impressed with your ingenuity and skill. Great job. Looks good too.
ingenuity and quality It is obviously why HBM Machines sponsor you Sir. I wish you the very best for your next project.
People like this are making huge impact in the world
Impact? Where's the vipers on it?
An excellent concept. As long as it is safe and non-obstructive. I would use it only in winter and rainy conditions - I like the wind in my face. Snow and sleet hit the face like pins and needles - this would solve that problem. The only thing, on long trips you would have to decide to take it or not - unless it was made collapsable.
If I were you, I would make a mold that doesn't need nails. Since you spent a significant amount of money on thermoforming, it was possible to make a mold in this final shape. Excellent work
A mold would be perfect. For all the $ spent, some high quality ones, at that.
Salute
not a bikers dream if they wanted a roof over there heads they would buy a car.
Idea for you: Collapse a sports car horizontally into an enclosed motorcycle. BTW I love how you document your failures in this video. A man should be honest about his mistakes and opens himself up to criticism, comment, and critique, all of which are necessary for growth and improvement. Bravo and well done.
Great work. If you spray a water repellant like RainX and buff it into the plexiglass, this will help the water to just bead off and roll away, making for better visibility. When I use it on my vehicle windshield, the wipers are only needed for the heaviest rainfall.
Genius level manufacturing!!!! This concept is so beautiful that everyone who rides, especially in the rain, would want one. The fact that you kept at it until your idea came to full production, that is determination which gets the reward. Well done!!! Bravo!!!!
no, i ride in all weathers, rain, snow or sun! if i wanted a bike with a roof i would have brought the BMW C1! any "biker" that needs a roof to protect them from rain is no biker! they are fair weather riders only!
@@adamcampbell5977 No. No biker would choose to ride in rain. Speaking from 50 plus years of riding 10’s of thousands miles. IMHO
@@user-roadwander I enjoy it sometimes, not all times, but that's more to do with tyre grip rather than me being wet 🤷♂️
I ride in the rain...I dont want one mr Hype
I also feel like the roof is gonna fuck you more in a crash than not lmao. You typically want to get off the ride as fast as possible not stuck with it.
Full Fairing. This should have happened long ago and much advanced by now due to people like this guy at the helm.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllll, the ONE problem that came to my mind is EGRESS MODE. Like if ya have to lay down the bike to save your own life, now you are trapped on said bike with no way of emergency egress for a slide laydown. Beeen in my fair share of them, but, staying Dry or Alive ...........hmmmmmm. I pick ALIVE for sure. Trapped + more injuries, limb losses and LIFE extinguishing. Great Concept, but, the idea with IDEA'S is to come up with a viable option that enhances rider experiences. And one can always pull off in the rain and wait it out. My .02c worth.
@@rickyhaycraft2513 how about making the old tron light cycle bike? you can crash and still be in the bike. some canister can burst porous foam so you can breathe and still be totally cushioned from impact inside. few seconds after the impact the porous foam will become brittle and you can smash through and exit the bike.
It did happen a long time ago. We call them cars.
@@rickyhaycraft2513 auto ejecting the cockpit might also be practical in such situation for example when the bike slipped and fell and is still slipping across the road while dragging you along, remove your hand from the handlebar which has some kind of sensor that commands the cockpit to automatically eject immediately when the hand is no longer in contact with the handlebar..
This may also allows the biker the freedom to choose and also in control to either abandon the cockpit or keep it as it is depending on the level of crash one is in
As some crash may not be severe enough to eject it while losing a few more bucks just to replace it or fix it aside from other body damages like paintjob,scratch and dents.
This ejection feature may also include airbag that wrapped around you and absorb most of the damage while pulling you away from the bike
Dumbest idea ever, people already thought of this 100 years ago..YOU WANNA BE MANGLED WITH YOUR BIKE, OR THROWN FROM IT??...no brainer
I feel so happy to see people who can transform the world of motorcycles. I have 2 and would like to have those someday.
I used to own a full main manufacturer production version of this concept, nearly 1/4 of a century ago. It had a crumple zone, windscreen wipers, seat belt and a full covered safety cell, which kept you almost fully dry. It was the BMW C1. This bike was able to get through traffic like a knife and at the same time keep you safe and dry. It was perfect for commuting through the heaviest of traffic and way ahead of it's time. The trouble was, it was too far ahead of it's time, it made you a laughing stock. The lads at work used to call it the Pope Mobile and you would get howls of laughter from the public you passed as you rode it. One young child even asked me if it could fly ? I couldn't take the ignominy any longer and had to sell it, so it went.
We call then cars

I hope you have great success and make a lot of money. I believe that a rain-proof motorcycle is a task that must invent.
It's already been done, it's called a CAR....
Motorcycle manufacturers have experimented with closed cockpit or roofed bikes for decades, the fact most people can't name a single one should say enough abour their success
どうも、バイカーです。クルマも好きなので、雨の日はクルマに乗ります。
Nice work. Kinda reminds me of the ol Ecomobile aka Monotracer.
Cool...very good, and even better for cleaning glass from falling rainwater
Not only you can use it on the rain, you can use it in any weather because it also protects you from wind, dust, gravel, etc. When you park your bike, it'll protect your bike surfaces and seat from heat and sunlight exposure. And it looks good as well. I'll definitely order one from you if you make a sale from it. What a genius
when the rain stops and the sun comes out it will be hot as hell inside, also if you're not home before dark and it's still raining, without a windscreen wiper it will be a nightmare for glare due to the water on the front. It's a great little innovation but not finished yet, needs a ton more work to be versatile....
nice build, ive been planning to make that when i was a kid,
now im 38 and still busy working for my family.
I used to imagine and draw up this exact thing when I was like 8... I look back and think about how I failed to meet my potential because of being poor af and not having the right motivators in life. I love to see these things created finally! Wish I still had the imagination and drive myself.
ay man it aint ever too late! lfg
Ain't too late, get organized, then get busy....
TOTALLY AWESOME BRO! You can use a special wax they use on the Jet Planes to clear the water when raining.
You. Are. A. Genius! 10 claps to you Sir 👏
I loved to see that you were still working on this idea looks great. And gives you the tron feels 🥰
I'm shocked this doesn't look weird or dorky lol looks cool tbh how is this not a thing in 2024
It really does look very normal.
crosswind, enough said.
@@psyMeat Factories could probably find a solution to mitigate them with enough wind tunnel experiments or just computer simulations. The biggest issue is the conservative nature of the average bike buyer, they have a certain idea of what motorbikes and bikers should look like while on the road and more fairing is not on their list.
@psyMeat Crisswinds are an issue even for cars. Not much you can do about getting hit with 20mph+ winds from the side pushing you around other than being a competent and aware driver.
@@psyMeat Countersteer to compensate?

Now that's a huge side silhouette that wind is pushing it sideway. And the wind usually blows hard on rainy days...I bet that's pretty unstable
On the other hand it's much more aero, meaning less drag. Curious how it balances out.
is it legal? looks good
I used a giant industrial oven for my sign making process, heating from above until plastic can be pushed 3" down next to the frame with 3x fingers, and then into the hydraulic press with strong wooden die set type mould, so plastic didn't have to get hot enough to burn you, not too painfully anyway... but my frame was in two halves one on each side of the plastic, made of angle iron and clamped (believe it or not) by vice grips all the way around, about 36 of them.
