I am interested in hearing if anyone here has the Vision lower wind deflectors and what they think of them. I am interested in purchasing them, but want to make sure they are worth the $250 they are asking. Thanks.

That deal was back in July. But just keep looking, eventually something will happen. Good luck.
I know. @MacDony asked for pictures and that's the only good picture I've been able to find

@LJDigital What part of the county you in? Someone with a spaceship may be close enough to get measurements and good pics

@MacDony Similar subject to the xct's winglets what material is easiest to mold into shape ( not the brackets parts ) would lexon, plexiglass or is something better for making your own. I ask because I want to make my own fork deflectors and a bigger set of winglets on my xct, the material must be strong yet pliable, not too thick but not so thin they constantly break when the random huge bug or bird smacks them at 70mph. Fabricating them so are adjustable is probably the hardest part

@LJDigital the brackets are location specific UL, LL, UR & LR. The hinge plates are a bit universal as are the metal bits (easily made btw)
This is the right set UR & LR

This is one of the left brackets w/bent mounting hinge

I do have a complete set but it would be difficult to loan them out...

@Bikesofbrads ,
For transparent deflectors, 4 mm polycarbonate must be used
Lexan, Macrolon, etc. are the names of polycarbonate manufacturers.
Victory windshields are made of polycarbonate.
Do not use Plexiglas, it is brittle and therefore dangerous.
Polycarbonate bends cold and bends better when hot with a heat gun.
I enlarged my Xct saddlebags with polycarbonate.

If I can find a makers space near you, would you be willing to take them in and scan them (or meet me there with the brackets so I can collect the necessary data)?
Also, thanks for the quality pics!

I do know a guy with a printer. Let me call him and see if he has the capability to scan them.
I was thinking about this today (specifically the smaller parts). Is it feasible to create molds or have the hinge fabricated?
Would it be easier/more realistic to cast all of the parts and make them from molds? Any idea what's inside the box where the hinge is?

See what you can come up with near Baltimore.
The hinge bits will be the easiest parts to make. You could use 2 cable stops drill a hole in the to connect the 2 together...
