dimensions of the oem wind deflector

Post by Dr-Jon » Mon Jun 12, 2017 9:56 am

guys,
can someone with an OEM wind deflector take some measurements for me? I'd like to know the height, width top and width at the bottom.
I'm going to try and make one from perspex to fit.
Thanks

Height: 18.5cm
Width top: 54.5cm
Width bottom: 43cm

It curves slightly in height from side to side. In the centre, it is 5mm higher at the bottom and 10mm at the top.

are you sure about the height 8.5cm does not seem tall enough

The end edges curve slightly, too, but only by 2mm. The curve is not central, though. So, if a good fit's needed, some fettling will be, too. :)
