    Do you not want the adjustable stanchions for some reason? My '30 has them and I change the rake to suit my mood. If you go the solid route, as Dave mentioned, you just have to pie cut them. I think they're available in aluminum also which can be polished rather than plated once the weling and grinding are done.

    I don't have a good picture of just the windshield, but this should give you a rough idea.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I'm 6' 3" and it works 4 me.
    The real trick, even on an A-Bone is how ya build the seat.

    Hey Don, what is the angle on those Wanless/Rodwell windshields? Looks like 35-40 degrees to my eye.

    I think the important thing for folks to learn from your seat picture is the thigh bolster.....really helps for longer trips in the saddle.

    Good eye Bob, 37 1/2 degree
    Like I said for the seat, butt down lo, and a big kick to keep yer thigh up.
    I build 'em to drive 'em not to look at?
    Mt ole line is "DTPOOI" (drive the p*ss outta it)
    Can drive mine for around 250 miles , then gotta get out anyway to fill it up.
    Top it off, stretch out a little and get after it sumore
