Cheap bastard

In the wonderful world of motorcycle ownership, owners tend to get bit by "the bug". Little customizations here, something there, to help "make the bike their own".
I am no exception, from the skull brake light, to the flags flying behind my seat, to the ghetto cruise control. The ghetto cruise control, a peice of plastic tubing tide to my controls that slips between the throttle grip and the housing. No need for the $200 Break away cruise control, or the $40 vista.

So along those lines, I needed some lowers. Those little peices of plastic that hang down below the windshield to help stop the wind from coming underneath, hitting my knees, and buffeting my face. (Explains a lot, I know.)
So why spend the $165 on Buck's lowers? Besides the fact that they won't work with my lowers (HAD to have those Cobra Fatty Highway bars), they are $165.
I thought I could do better.
So for $20 I went to Home Depot and picked some aluminum (aluminium?) and some plexi-glass.
