Friends, welcome to Meanwhile in the Garage!
Today, I'll show you how I made a transparent roof for my Yamaha YZF1000 R1 (152HP) motorcycle. For any biker, rain is a nightmare. You want to go out, sit with friends, but a sudden downpour ruins all plans.
I came up with a simple solution that will protect you from the rain and give you new sensations. I created a cabin concept that can be added to any motorcycle. The structure is easy to make and highly functional. Raindrops are repelled by the wind, and from inside, you get a beautiful view. Isn't this every biker's dream?
By the way, I used this bike in the previous video for the Hoverbike. Many said I ruined it, but in reality, I just used it. The bike wasn't harmed at all!
Share your opinion! How do you like this concept? What can be improved? Did you like the idea?

interesting concept that came out pretty well... a few suggestions that might help if you ever do it again. >add a gas strut to the hinge mech on the canopy that way it will hold itself up when at petrol stations ect. >instead of trying to vac form try blowing a bubble. you wont need a buck to form the shape out of just a template to constrain the edge of the bubble to the shape you want. > the bubbles on the polycarb are from over heating it that's why it was hot spots where you're halogens are above. > maybe use rubber well nuts instead of rivets as you could bolt the panels on to the tabs which would make it easier to service/modify the design if you choose. > add a rubber pad under the release lever so it doesn't wear the paint on the tail and make it less likely for the latch to vibrate open at high speed. i love what you've done and appreciate you showing the successes and failures. great job as always

Hi there! Are you into Motorbike custom building, design etc? I am looking for someone who i can work with, who has a clue about frame building and/or design, to realize streamliner superbike, from the cratch one. I am tired of how the motorbike companys/manufactors managed (for almost 150 years now, since the motorbike exists), NOT to use the excellent potencial of a motorbike, in terms of economy and everyday suitability. And thats because they developed in only one direction, they see the motorbike only as a fun device, which for me its unexplainable and a huge waste of potencial. With the bikes low fraction (2 wheels) and low drag (streamliner design) they way for low fuel (battery) consumssion at high speeds, low wear of tires and the entire drive components is free. Not to mention the huge ranges that can be achieved. When u are from Western Europe and interessted about such an projekt, i would be happy when u would contact me, so that we can chat.

I also noticed the canopy developed a crack where you drilled the hole. Here's a tip I learned when drilling plexiglass or acrylic: Use a blow torch to pre-heat your drill bit (don't overdo it, doesn't need to be red hot), put the drill on high speed, but apply bare minimum of pressure. If the hole still develops a crack later on, - drill a tiny hole in the crack's path using the same method, file it smooth, then fill it with acrylic glue or epoxy. This will keep it from spreading.

I was told to counter sink the hole on both sides after drilling. I am sure the extra heat would add another level of protection from cracks.

​@@rickyhaycraft2513 auto ejecting the cockpit might also be practical in such situation for example when the bike slipped and fell and is still slipping across the road while dragging you along, remove your hand from the handlebar which has some kind of sensor that commands the cockpit to automatically eject immediately when the hand is no longer in contact with the handlebar.. This may also allows the biker the freedom to choose and also in control to either abandon the cockpit or keep it as it is depending on the level of crash one is in As some crash may not be severe enough to eject it while losing a few more bucks just to replace it or fix it aside from other body damages like paintjob,scratch and dents. This ejection feature may also include airbag that wrapped around you and absorb most of the damage while pulling you away from the bike

A top tip, you need to dry the plastic in oven in 80 degrees celsius for 1 hour. All plastics contain little bit water, otherwise you will have bubbles. I have molded many times and had same problems in the beginning.😊

[@SilvaDreams]

Yeah plastics will absorb moisture from the air and when forming them if not pre-heated to slowy drive off the moiisture from the plastic it forms steam which makes it so hazy from the tiny bubbles where it is trapped.

[@sharonbraselton3135]

Wrong ac buliyt in

[@Movieman1965]

I used to work at a hot tub manufacturer. The process for creating the shell was similar. You had to heat the acrylic sheet until it was sagging like your attempt. But the mold had a large vacuum hole at the bottom. Once they had the acrylic positioned they lowerd it over the mold and turned on the vacuum system to pull the acrylic into the mold form. It is a very fast process. In this case due to the shape of your final canopy shell it would make sense to push the canopy mold into the heated acrylic.

You have some great ideas. I have a number of concerns 1. What is the total weight of this canopy? 2. How would this affect the stability of the bike in strong lateral winds like you show at 16:05 3. What would ventilation be like to rid rider of excess heat in the summer, due to lack of air circulation and greenhouse effect? These are all concerns which need to be addresses before it becomes a useful accessory. Cafe racer have not solved these issues with their bull body fairings and attempts at full body cover for aerodynamics and wind/rain protection. Good luck in your endeavors and future developments. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks.

[@urgaynknowit]

That wrapped saddle wrap thing on the seat was awesome

[@davidzimmerman5768]

I would have gone to experimental aircraft/glider/soaring enthusiasts and asked how they create custom canopies for their aircraft. I had a home built glider I purchased from another glider pilot and its canopy looked like it had been formed rather simply with out too many complex curves, similar to your final design solution. Your creation reminds me of various science fiction "Egg Shaped" vehicles. As far as the crosswind comments I am not sure but I think your design would actually offer less air resistance than a rider without the canopy. It would interesting to see the difference on a longer trip between how much fuel you use with the canopy and without it. I am guessing your canopy actually increases fuel economy and top speed. Thank you for sharing all your hard work and successes along with all the failures it took to get to the final success. May you continue to create things that bring you and others joy.

I used to own a full main manufacturer production version of this concept, nearly 1/4 of a century ago. It had a crumple zone, windscreen wipers, seat belt and a full covered safety cell, which kept you almost fully dry. It was the BMW C1. This bike was able to get through traffic like a knife and at the same time keep you safe and dry. It was perfect for commuting through the heaviest of traffic and way ahead of it's time. The trouble was, it was too far ahead of it's time, it made you a laughing stock. The lads at work used to call it the Pope Mobile and you would get howls of laughter from the public you passed as you rode it. One young child even asked me if it could fly ? I couldn't take the ignominy any longer and had to sell it, so it went.

With an aerodynamic fairing (enclosed) A 2 Wheeler has an absurd amount of potencial, in terms of speed and economie, and i never, really never understood, how the big motorbike industry/manufacturer havent build jet, a aerodynamic designed, enclosed bike, so that u can drive, at an avarage speed of 250 kmh and comsume under 5l on german Autobahn, of course! And im not talking about those heavy ass 2 wheelers from Zwitzerland, which weights a ton and coasts about 100k Euro, plus they have a lean back position, which it makes by default unstable, i mean a simple, lightweight motorbike, build from the scratch, with a leaned forward position and a very low center of gravity, with an ideal aero shape (teardrop/rocket), so that it can glide thoruh the wind, like a bullet. I have an absolute passion for motorbikes and it was allways my dream to ride fast and at the same time economical. Please lets realize together such an project, which could also be electrical, thanks to the low drag. i have so many ideas!

@@ELIZONDJ You can't lean a car into the turns or wheelie etc. Genius.

[@robinv2758]

You can't make an enclosed production motorcycle without it being ridiculously heavy for 1 simple reason, crash protection. When a manufacturer makes a vehicle it obviously has to meet certain safety standards, a fully enclosed motorcycle would have to be able to withstand big impacts so it doesn't crush the rider or trap them inside the vehicle, all these reinforcements add a lot of weight and a lot of cost which leaves you with a very expensive and very heavy vehicle. You can reduce the weight by using really lightweight materials but those are significantly more expensive which will drive up the cost even more. I know where I live the government once tried mandating crash bars which also covered the rider's legs, long story short after some crash testing they abandoned the idea because most of the results concluded that permanent leg injuries were significantly more likely since a big a hit would just crush your leg between the crash bar and the bike and probably make you an amputee, not to mention you're now being dragged across the ground by the bike and if it were to catch fire nobody will be able to get you away from the bike which means you'll get burnt alive. Now imagine the nightmare of developing a safe fully enclosed bike and you can see why they're really heavy and really expensive

Enjoyed your past videos and this one as well. I think the problem with the canopy molding might have been the framing attached around the edges. Instead of just softening the polycarbonate and laying it over the mold, the frame was trying to keep it flat and taut. So you were actually stretching the plastic rather than just forming it. Probably also thinned the plastic unnecessarily. Kind of like draping a blanket over something loosely vs having people pulling at the edges. I think if you’re able to set the poly over the mold without any framing, heat it evenly, and let it take shape you would have succeeded with your original plan. Still, I think it turned out great!

All your missing is waterproof trousers plus boots and you're good to go.

He’s a genius. Wish I was so smart. Great video

[@donvee2000]

Holy Crap! Finally a rain enclosure that's cool and functional. Bravo ...multi million dollar concept. It would really be a kllr if you could put some heat inside.

[@GenghisKhan311]

The bike naturally does that

[@RedBud315]

Pretty awesome if you do a lot of rain riding. However, one thing I love about riding is the wind in my face and the ability to smell BBQ's when riding in the summertime, lol.

[@mohammadgulrahim1800]

Sir I am your big fan ❤ Love you from Afghanistan 🇦🇫

[@Ibnmajed]

This is really excellent job, especially in hot sunny countries you can add AC to cool down and help with sand storm ,

[@crawford323]

I admire your tenacity

My issue is side winds. It would suck on a blustry day.

[@bernardamedee7594]

Nice! blustery cool word lock in…

[@Satyasjourney]

Where is wipers

[@nickspartanshld408]

Took 30 years of my life for someone to actually do this

[@intensegamer7559]

Let's see where this is going. Maybe interesting for commuters if you somehow solve or at least mitigate the splash water problem. Sacrificing agility for rain protection might get some people to buy this. Good luck!

[@bimmarvinlim3804]

Man! I enjoyed watching you build that, prototypes always needs improvements and maybe your next build would be so much better. keep it up this is a good content.

[@toddcorey3190]

It’s your American engineer chiming in again. You were doing everything right except the major face of not continuing heat to your mold. If you were to lower your heat source along with your mold material and connect to your vacuum table you would have been able to do it on your first try. It’s the same thing with any type of molding of any material. Love your channel!

[@rafqueraf]

Protection against rain. Futuristic. This should be just common

[@martinjelinek1382]

It cracking already on the work table and being hard to work with is about what i expected after working with this stuff too. You did great 👍

[@nahimehosennahimehosen8615]

Everyone like this video,,this man really hard work,,,Love from Bangladesh ❤❤

[@MAN-Q]

NOT A BIKER MYSELF HOWEVER I AM CAPTIVATED BY THIS. THE WORK THA WENT INTOIT IS BEYOND BELIEF, MORE SO THE PERSISTENCE....KEEP IT UP

[@windridermaui]

Excellent Craftsmanship!

[@patrick550]

Great alpha! As a biker i like to see you improve, nice work cheers! Maybees: Put on some hydraulic arms for the open and closing thingie and lock it behind the seat, like a door lock so u can go in high gear!

[@muramusan]

This should have always been mandatory for motos 😢I hate rain but gas savings

[@Lhanskie46]

Truely amazing craftsmanship. i love your work. tuning in for more awesome videos from you. watching here from Philippines🇵🇭😊❤

[@Movieman1965]

The only concern for this full canopy concept is potential cross winds. Cross wind gust forces can push you sideways and cause problems with steering control. It looks cool though. The overall shape looks sleek and aerodynamic.

[@aaronkirby4632]

I'm impressed with your ingenuity and skill. Great job. Looks good too.

[@MykeHawke-r9r]

This is awesome I would offer to you voice overs for you, but yours adds a lot to it

[@Steve-wo9uy]

put some 12v fans on there for the summer, or even just proper positioned vents. And by the way, this is will work so nicely in the cold days!!!!block the chilling wind

[@simonallan9941]

I used a giant industrial oven for my sign making process, heating from above until plastic can be pushed 3" down next to the frame with 3x fingers, and then into the hydraulic press with strong wooden die set type mould, so plastic didn't have to get hot enough to burn you, not too painfully anyway... but my frame was in two halves one on each side of the plastic, made of angle iron and clamped (believe it or not) by vice grips all the way around, about 36 of them.

[@andrasszabo7386]

That thing needs windshield wipers. Or at least I would put one on, if this was my bike. Again I say, you are one of the best mechanics on this planet. One of the best, I say, because I haven't seen all the others.

[@3DCA]

I have thought about this ideo many years ago but you have done it! Amazing!!!

[@Living.in.1984]

Thats so cool man well done, If you could get that into production you'd sell a load of them in Asia where it rains a lot a most people ride some kind of bike.

[@martianpolarbeer]

Noice cap!! I've felt the need of this so many times, especially in the rains, but also during heatwaves... The Evil Laughter makes it so much more appealing.. 😅

[@etagrats1]

Great Concept. Can't wait to see where this goes in the future.

[@yaseenrabbani6580]

Thanks for sharing good information about canopy of all types of bike and scooter 🎉
