Mango Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Looking into some windshield / fairing options for the Sherman, and although nothing exists as yet, this may be the closest thing since it’s adapted from the motorcycle world. The clamps fit 7/8 to 1 1/4 which will fit on the Sherman rails. How to securely attach will be something that’ll need to be figured out. National Cycle N25014 Street Shield. Might be extremely useful for seated long distance riding. I figure at high speed cruising seated, you could extend range by 10%. Not to mention it’ll be more comfortable not being buffeted by the wind, and good for bug, road debris and rain protection as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 These would also work to clamp the seat onto the roll bar. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32979565626.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.46114c4dqDZn3N 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 For audio, I found the Bose Micro Soundlink works well attached to the front hand rail. The strap is stretchy enough to securely fasten. You no longer have to be wearing a backpack to carry the Bose with you, and your full face helmet chin guard doesn't hit the Bose when you are looking down. The audio is loud enough at speeds up to 35mph. Audio controls on the Bose means you don't have to whip out your phone to skip tracks or adjust volume. Siri integration, Google maps readout and speed alarms when paired with DarknessBot. Overall, a win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your Bose and challenge you to try a tribit stormbox micro (for half the price - or used in stereo for the same price). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippoPig Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 If I’m going to try seated riding more it should be comfortable, right? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than hard foam or plastic. Plus the added height. It's a race to see if this or my Sherman arrive first. Coming from the motorcycle world, this is the only thing on the market that looks like a real seat to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Willy510 Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) I've made up some wider flexible side pads that don't cover the top screws and a flexible rear fender. Both models will be available on thingiverse for download. Edited September 16, 2020 by Willy510 pics 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Just received my official seat if I can call it that. The angular look fits the Sherman well, height and thickness is fine. It’s quite slippery however, both on the shell and your pants (or anything). I was testing making a U turn and the wheel fell inwards, possibly because of the slippery ness. Else you really need a fairly smooth road to ride seated as your legs can’t do the suspensions much. I suspect I won’t be able to use it much around Paris due to that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Speaking of accessories, has anyone seen the rear light for sale some where? Mine just won’t light up..

The Dude Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) I just received and assembled these roll cage/shell protectors for when my Sherman arrives tomorrow. =)ClampsProtectors Example image of my 8 rollers/sliders. You will need to obtain shorter 10mm screws than the ones included for the protectors if you don't want the metal ends protruding, or to order these cap covers.. Short of that, Bob's your boy.

Shield Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone looking for replacement charge port caps. The 'screw on' type do have a rubber seal inside to keep the moisture out. Plus when you screw it down it butts up against the back ring so it's almost like dual protection. I got these on Ali but you can find them on eBay as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gadgetfann Posted October 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) The new Black Crow stand for the Veteran Sherman is great. I was concerned that the weight of the Sherman would be an issue, but the stand handles it with no problem. Available on eBay.
