Nice thread on the making of the LRS Project Cheapskate shield. Rode again today and it is so much better than the original it makes it a pleasure to ride even in a strong wind!!!

I just came across this thread a couple days ago...my God what an amazing thread. Batman you are one talented individual and I love to see the support from fellow Harley owners offering up free goodies and to LRS. Great job and what an amazing scooter you have built.

Shield looks great on a great looking ride. Props to LRS. I might have to get a new shield.

Great Job.
On the bike and on documenting the great work you did to it and sharing.
Do you have a total on what you were able to do this for?

Thanks for sharing the project!

I've actually been thinking of building my own 1911. My son just bought a Kimber Custom II and I love the way it shoots. Any recomendations on a good websight or instruction.
