Billet Wind Deflector Clamps

[jbird]

I have issues with the plexiglas wind deflectors falling/going down at higher speeds, 60+. I have tightened to a point where they are tough to lower or raise by hand without feeling like the deflector themselves may break and the issue is still there. This gets even worse as the temperature outside changes and the plastic heats or cools.

I was thinking to have a set machined out of aluminum with o-rings grooved into the inside of the clamp where it mates to the stainless grab bar and thumb screws on the underside of one side of the clamp to allow for loosening and tighten as needed. Thoughts? Any better ideas for a fix?

Any machinists that would be willing to take this on for a reasonable price?

Any others out there with the same issue that would want a set?

Thanks,

J

You should have posted this in the lounge. This section is dead.

Oring idea is cool for non slip, but no way to get them on without talking the handle off or cutting the oring. A small piece of thin sheet rubber might work good.

Do you adjust them or keep them at the same spot each time ?
And if you do adjust why .

I’d be fine with having to take the bar off to install the o-rings

I adjust them. I like to have them down when cruising and raise them when underway.
I don’t like the wind deflectors up when they are not needed.

I just built this website for this guy. The site is not done yet, but he does have really nice mounts for his reflectors that you can buy directly from him.

He is also a member here!

Those look interesting. Wonder if they can take the higher MPH

They are non adjustable, so they are solid...

He has em on his Hallett. Tested to 75mph.

I couldn't deal with the plastic ones so I made a new set. Two halves with 4 bolts holding them together. Installed a spring loaded retaining handle to hold them in place.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! How do I get a set?
