Peerless Leader gets a Windscreen

[caduceus]

With cold weather rapidly approaching - it was 37 degrees Fahrenheit this morning - I wussed out and put a windshield and lower on the Peerless Leader. The lower really reduces the vortex that comes up from under the windshield at speed.

Very nice, - I like that.

Where did you get it?

Where did you get it?

The windshield is a Slipstreamer CF-50 24"X24" which I got from Amazon.com. I cut the lower out of 1/4" plexiglass.

Nice!
You have room for a battery....ever consider heated grips?

That is such a good looking outfit. Yep, the cold is coming. When it get's really cold will you wear a snowmobile suit?

Thanks for the compliment. Since the longest distance across town's maybe four miles one way I'll probably stick to my normal winter wear because with the lower in place there's almost no air movement behind the windscreen. I've been looking into heated gloves, but not too hard.

Maniac, I've got heated grips on my snow blower and I love 'em, but I use the snow blower for sometimes hours at a time. I've a set of heated handlebar grips that I bought for my Vespa when I was commuting 80 miles round trip, but I never got up the gumption to install them. I'll have to see how the winter goes.

Figured I'd post a few pictures of Our Peerless Leader at work....Every time I don't start the car I save a dollar.

Now you can stay warm while chasing moose and squirrel.

Yes I like that windshield too, in fact I like the whole way the trike is setup.

And Peerless Leader gets Studded Tires

Last week we woke up to snow and slush. So I spent a pleasant couple of hours changing my trike over to studded tires. Then the snow melted. But it will be back, probably tonight.

That's such a good looking trike caduceus, I bet you're just itching to try it out in the snow.

That is a nice looking bike.

And your scenery reminds me of home. That was in Michigan, actually. And our neighborhood was a bit more hilly. But the two counties to the east were a bit more flat. And many neighborhoods looked a lot like that. It kinda takes me back.
