>I just wanted to chime in and say that I think is a great mod, regardless of what material you use. It's cheap, easy, looks good, and solves a common problem.

Thanks....My only issue with Acrylic is the difficulty in cutting it with a jigsaw vs Polycarb. Scoring and breaking Acrylic is likely the better
option for DIY.... though you still need to cut out the 6 strap openings.

Yesterday I rode a couple of hours from my home ( 8,700ft) to Denver ( 5,300ft) and back in temps as low as 35f and I felt no
discomfort at speeds up to 75mph. The only time I closed the top was when it started snowing ....Tom ( 2 pics below)

Last week.... Sunny and cold

Then again, I'm used to cold weather riding....
