    Home made screen, It only bloody works !!!!

    From the author of the copper pipe pannier rack, comes the cut and flip screen.

    Just to prepare you the top screen is still in the rough so to speak, and it is not quite central, but after a quick 10 mile blast, it does seem to work.

    With the screen flat down, or somewhere around that, the airflow can be directed nicley into chest, and if the screen is put upright, you can sort of crouch down behind it at speed.

    Ok, get up off the floor, I can hear the howls of laughter from up here on Skye.

    By the way, I got the screen off ebay, cheap, and they fittings cost about 3 quid.

    Rick,

    I think you made a very tidy job of that, having seen it in the flesh, so to speak.

    Some good work there. Maybe you need to cannibalise two screens, one for the lower part and one for the upper. That way the shape of the "cut" on the lower part won't affect the shape of the cut on the upper. Look out, eBay, bidding wars will ensue!
