Anyone used a couple of bike flyscreens on their scuttles to make 'bubble' aeroscreens?

I remember we had a discussion about this ages ago with a now extinct member of this forum.

It was deemed a got idea as they came in stacks of sizes and shapes for locost prices.
Go for it scootz

If you can find some the right size, seems like a good idea to me.

Get your back fixed and buy a bike...
Just kidding, I may not ride bikes again either....

Here's one I snapped at the Clubman Nationals late last year.

Have a look for Allan Staniforths Megapin - he had a bike screen fitted, which you have to assume worked for the purpose intended otherwise it wouldn't have been there at all.

I've often thought about doing something similar myself - might see if I can borrow a spare screen from a mae with plenty of bikes who will probably have a spare or two.

I know the Mac#1 aeroscreen uses a similar concept - you can't view their website at the moment though as it's down (and has been for months...)

motaleira used something like that I believe, but then ditched them - might be worth a u2u as to why...
