Excellent point about not drilling holes through the lexan. Just use a strip of aluminum sheet (scraps already) to make a moulding that locks the windshield in place and some silicone sealant to make it weatherproof. The remmaining part of the 4X8 sheet of lexan gives me a perfect pattern and even enough material for one replacement windshield in the future.
The ignition system, engine, radiator, wiring harnesses are all from the donor 2011 CBR 250R motorcycle, which comes with a kill switch from the factory. It also means every Honda motorcycle dealership in the country will have spare parts available for a long time to come, probably the rest of my life. All the fuel injection, oxygen sensor, catalytic converter and ECU, sensors will be the same as they were on the bike.
