This hardly seemed worthy of a new thread but I wanted to show off my new tinted Chanito windshield.

I would love more photos of you all posing on your rides.

[lisalovesit]

In this one I look dead set on running you over.

[chucktuna]

Lisa, both you and your windshield look great.
Like the helmet!
I agree, we need a" Ruck with rider" thread with pics to see what all you crazies exactly look like.
Thanks for the great pics
Chuck

great pics lisa!

What number do you want for Poser??!

[lisalovesit]

Good karma for you my Chucktuna.

Spoonie, I am the "poser". I will take the number 07.

[lisalovesit]

I just read the rules for the contest and realized I have a chance.

I assumed it was a competition for the best tricked out bike..... I would never win that.

[lisalovesit]

My thread and I'm just talking to myself.

Chuck, incase you were curious, the helmet is a Vega, chrome finish with an amber visor. Not an expensive helmet but it is DOT and SNELL approved. I have a few other visors I switch out but the amber is my favorite. There is one thing better than "seeing the world through rose colored glasses" as the old saying goes and that is looking through orange tinged.

Thanks for the info. It's the finish that caught my eye.
Very cool.

Hey Lisa, how do you like your new windshield?

[lisalovesit]

I am loving it! Well made, ups my speed, and looks slick.

Good deal! I still love mine too, I'm a little bummed that everybody's gonna be sporting them too now . Chanito did a great job, hopefully he'll make his way here eventually #Icon012#

BTW, it would have been a trip if he had been able to make a bronze one for you.

[chopchop]

By how much does it ups your speed?

[lisalovesit]

What would you say spoonie?.....about 2mph.

Sounds about right.. give or take 2mph...

[chopchop]

Do you get the same speed as tucking?

Right now my max speed on flat ground minimal wind is 39mph tucking or not it's the same. With some head wind it's easier for me to stay at 39 while tucking. At one point I had taken off the seat and sat on the floor board plastic and my max was still 39mph.

I'm thinking that it'll only help if there is more head wind. Then I have to consider the look since I have drag bars it won't look as good with the windshield.

[PomeRuck]

nice posing girly! chanito sure does great with those windshields!

[lisalovesit]

Yea, it gives you your tucking speed. It also keeps a little wind off you so you get less chilled in the cooler weather and fewer bugs in the face is always nice.

I wasn't so sure I wanted the look of a windshield either. To me the Ruck looks like a tank and I didn't want to do anything that alters that feel. I like your drag bars idea. That should look good on the Ruck but the windshield may detract?? It is hard for me to picture.

Chop you neglected so say that you only weigh 70lbs soaking wet. And a sheet of paper would have more wind resistance then you. J/k. My biggest mod will be getting to the gym and losing the equivalent of a whole chopchop.

Lisa,
looking good, sorry to interrupt your thread with a poke at my friend.

[lisalovesit]

You are welcome on my thread any any any time!
