Improved weather protection

[MarkShelley]

It doesn`t look too pretty, but it works!

It looks like an perfect utility vehicle, or to say it in other words. It´s a real CUB.

I really like your compositon.

I am always thinking about an improofed shield for the legs. Nice to have, when it rains, but not so easy to fix.

I bought a 1500 x 300mm lump of Lexan Polycarbonate sheet which is the same stuff your visor is made of. I got it 1mm thick and it can actually be cut with a decent pair of scissors. I cut it down the middle into 150mm width. I only used about half of it. It cost £13 including postage off ebay.
I rounded the top so it sat on the flat section of the existing plastic. Each side is in two sections as the curve at foot level puts too much spring into it and would be trying to rip it off. I initially fitted the Lexan using strips of heavy duty velcro. I then went around all the edges with gaffa tape, making sure not to overlap the adjacent panels so the bodywork can be removed without disturbing it. I then taped both sides of the joints between the two pieces on each side. At this stage it looked a right mess so I decided to cover the whole lot in gaffa tape. There is no dicernable deflection in use and I am looking forward to trying it out in the rain. I am confident it will work really well.
I am from Cambridge, UK

Your English is better than that of most Englishmen by the looks of it!

Well done mate. What about your feet? Thought it would provide better protection if the fairing would reach a bit more down. Please keep us updated.
Cheers hwaver

Good mornig Mark,

if it does its job - so much better - but would not paste it onto my Inno. Assume you commute on yr bike as otherwise the trouble to fix the addtional leg shield would be excessive.

Had found, that the Inno does not get its due credit in the C90 club.

Keep it up

It took less than an hour to fit. I have 7 bikes including the old Vespa inside my house and I bought the Innova only for my 10 mile commute in all weathers so I don`t wear out my expensive bikes doing short runs where the engine never warms up fully. It has been covered in a layer of ACF50 and will not be washed until next March!
