Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.

Solo,
Check w/ a local model railroad and/or hobby shop. Often they carry small sheets (6"x8") of plastic of varying thicknesses that can be cut, shaped, and painted for a variety of uses. "Plastruct" and "Evergreen" are two specific brand names.
It's not how fast you go, rather "how" you go fast!

There are two basic kinds to look at: Acrylic (plexiglass) and Polycarbonate (Lexan).  Acrylic is cheaper and more scratch-resistant but is also more brittle and harder to cut/shape cleanly.  Polycarbonate is much stronger but it costs more and it's harder to find in different colors.  Your local plastic shop or home store should have both in different thicknesses available.

Uhh...  Take out your BRAKE LIGHTS?!?   :o :dunno_white:

I hope this is a track bike mod!
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?
