Custom Canopy Trim and Windscreen

Work continues on the canopy but the end is in sight. This weekend, I made a custom trim strip for the forward edge of the slider canopy. I shamelessly copied Matt Burch. I like how it turned out and think the extra support will reduce the stress on the rivets that hold the plexi to the frame. Plus, I think it will look better.


I fretted for a week about how to cut both sides of the windscreen the same so this is what I came up with. It's thick wrapping paper that I attached at three points with clecos to use as a pattern. The marked lines show through the paper so I just flipped it over to check each side. Worked great and fast and easy and now both sides are the same.
