windshield broken.....going to fix it....or try

ok while you ponder my question and think of an answer for me, plastic is on
the bar so get your flavor...

A friend that is a new biker dropped her bike in her gravel driveway and
damaged some of her chrome but more important she broke the bottom corner of
her windshield a sliver that extends about 10 inches up the side.

She showed me it last night(on cam) she is going to drive to my house
Thursday (200 miles away) and would like to clean the edge up... make it a
little more graceful and do the same cut on the other side. I have a bunch
of tools I can use to do this. I was thinking of putting some masking tape
on and using a hand held jig saw and then I have a drum I can put on the
drill press and use that to dress the edge up... I will practice on the
piece that broke off first. It is a Memphis shades windshield with orange
on the bottom third.

Any suggestions would be helpful as she is only staying for about 24
hours...

200 mile round trip and dinner, she could buy a new one <grin>

use a heavier tape than masking tape, a very fine blade, a ton of
patience (I ain't no doctor so I ain't got any) but I have trimmed
windshields like that before, successfully........

now someone that really knows what they are talking about can tell you
the right way to do it!

What do you mean by "she broke the bottom corner off her windshield a
sliver"?
A crack is not a mere "sliver".
That's a major CRACK, you dopey fuck! :)

Just replace the SOB, before it shatters off.
They can not be "repaired".

ANYBODY that says a crack in the windshield can be repaired, is a
fibbing SOB... and should be kicked in their balls, HARD!

DO not even TRY to "fix it".
How would you do it anyway, so that it has the clear and distortion free
optics?

YOU CAN'T!

Toss it!

The dollars it would could cost to "repair", far outway the cost of a
brand new one that can SAFELY be cut down... let alone replace with a
new crystal clear one!

Don't trust my opinion? Swell!

Also, advise her how to ride on all surfaces.

That jerk is still around? Sorry. I didn't dig through the header to
get the deep details. How do I block him? By IP address?

I'm a slug, AND a Asshole!
(and yes, you tried to get my AH# revoked to no avail!!)

I also make the best burgers, fed the likes of many, and rode with a few.

So what?

Are YOU saying that YOU can repair a broken windshield?

Dig? See the information which was quoted at the very tippy top of this
post?
Panhead's alwyas has "@Bass.gov" in it.

Not even a matter of "reading headers", just knowing who's posting what
by how they post.

>How do I block him? By IP address?

Block him? Why?
Besides, if you block him, you'll just have to go back an read why all
the hub-ub and indignation in everyone else's posts.

You *do* know rhetorical when you see it, don't you?

I never bothered to look that closely, but thanks for the tip.

There is that. I'm all for a good fracas.

It kinda comes and goes. Today I have a cold. I'm hocking up big
green oysters and trying to read through itchy, watery eyes. I'm a
little off my game shall we say. Pass the crackers, eh? I gotta put
this oyster on sumpum.
