Back in the days, when most roads were a far cry from what we know today the Ride Control was standard equipment and an indispensable device for the rider to react to road conditions.

As a rule of thumb you decrease friction the better the road gets and the lower the speed is, at which you ride. This detailed reproduction comes complete, ready to bolt on. A must for any restauration.

It is said that back in the late 1940s a man named Jack Tracey decided to make windscreens for the WR race bikes at Daytona. Unlike anything else available at that time he cast the main part from aluminum with just a small clear window.

Installation is universal and requires individual clamps and corresponding hardware to be made or obtained.
