Maybe a rubber gasket under the glass and rubber bushings on top to protect it from vibrating metal

Rocks, dirt, sticks? see where I'm going with this.
Looks sick, just need the correct material. As posted above, and I don't know the specifics of the material (lexan), there are covers already being manufactured. I'm sure you can buy a sheet and form your own custom pieces. Great Idea. Bet a few of these pop up shortly

Got the holeshot
Did it melt where it contacted the engine .Or did it just melt from the heat of the engine.Could you use a thicker gasket like cork or urethane.

Catch me if you can
LEXAN for sure, it is a bit more than plexiglass but has different properties. Plexi cracks easy.
Tempered glass will shatter if you try to drill it and like someone said " I wouldn't want that on a vibrating motor..."

As I said before, if you build these and they are sturdy I will buy a set for my 70 and a set for my Lifan manual clutch 125.. Awesome way to think outside of the box..

could try some mr-10 bullet proof lexan. it is used for bullet proof glass applications. i bought some years ago for making some custom r/c racing parts, its nearly indestructible.

It melted due to the heat of the bolts and head. Im sure with proper bushings and material, it would hold up great.Originally Posted by atc300r
