BTW I was hoping to get a 3/16 windshield from Rich as he owes me a bit of
money and he told me he would order one for me. I don't think the 1/8 is
too safe when it comes to bird strikes. I would like Lexan but so far I cannot
find a reasonably source. What is Solly shipping in the way of Cruiser
windshields these days? Has anybody discovered who made the windshields
for Rich?

Paul, you may be better with Plexiglas than Lexan. I hear that Lexan scratches
easy and is hard to buff out.


Yes I think you are right. Not to mention expensive. It is not considered 
modern and cool to have a steel tube in the middle of your windshield now 
a days but it sure makes it harder for the birds to get through. Probably
help in a roll over accident as well.
