My awesome windshield from Thailand! - Page 8

kohburn · 03-23-2016, 06:28 PM

Just wanted to show off the rx3 windscreen on a versys. Ordered mine without the mounting holes. Drilled my own holes to mount to Madstad bracket.

Nice screen, those are really fun bikes to ride kohburn. I did a 4500 mile trip on mine in 2011 to Grand Canyon Torroweep, Bryce, Zion, Arches, Moab. Windscreen will pay dividends for you from now on. rj

this is only about an inch taller than the screen i had before, but it looks nicer and i think the shape will provide me with a better pocket of quiet air to sit in.

i'll report on it tomorrow after the daily commute to work.

That windshield looks as if it belongs on the Versys.

Good job,Sir.

kohburn · 03-24-2016, 07:28 AM

so far I can report a quieter air pocket and reduced buffeting. very pleased. thanks winyoochanok

so quiet in fact that I'm hearing a lot more road noise form my front tire at all speeds. if I was doing a long trip I'd want earplugs or a different tire.

The following is a quote from this article:
http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo...tml#Windshield
"Acrylic is only about 3% as impact resistant as polycarbonate. Normal acrylic shatters upon impact, and therefore is considered an unsafe material for windshields. Acrylic is very chemically resistant, and is more transparent than glass - glass absorbs about half again as much light as acrylic does. Acrylic forms easily at high temperatures, about 300°. However, machining acrylic at room temperature is difficult. It's not very easy to cut acrylic with a saw or drill holes in acrylic without shattering or weakening the material.

Polycarbonate is a DOT approved material for making windshields; normal acrylic is not. Some states require DOT approved windshields, and therefore in these states a normal acrylic windshield is actually illegal, however these laws are rarely enforced. Normal acrylic can be shattered by an impact from a rock moving at speeds as low as 15mph.
We use a special high cost acrylic called Impact Modified Acrylic. This form of acrylic is DOT approved for windshields. We use only DOT certified impact resistant plastics to make Calsci windshields. Our windshields will not shatter if hit by a rock. We test our windshields by shooting them with a .22 caliber rifle and verifying that the windshield maintains its basic integrity without shedding small pieces that could impact your face or eyes. No windshield can protect you against everything, but we do our best to make certain that our windshields protect you against the small rocks frequently thrown up by other vehicle's tires. "

I just found this on Madstad website

Q: Why does MADSTAD use Cast Acrylic instead of Polycarbonate plastic?

Cast acrylic is more rigid, more optically clear, has better scratch resistance, better chemical resistance for cleaning, easier to mold, less costly, and does not cloud or become hazy over time like polycarbonate can. We use a minimum 3/16" (4.5 mm) thick cast acrylic to make all of our windshields so they are nice and rigid, super-clear and easy to maintain.
FYI, the canopy of the F/A-18 Hornet supersonic combat jet is made of cast acrylic. If acrylic is good enough for a military fighter jet it should be good enough for your motorcycle!

Is there a site for Winyoochanok's line of accessories ?

Can't seem to find it.
