 Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2007 3:30 pm Post subject: Firestar construction question - Windscreen |
 |
|
I notice that my Kolb Firestar has a steel cockpit cage with a Lexan type windscreen that fastens to each side of the steel enclosure. Each side opens up and out (kind of like the old Gullwing Mercedes Benz). I have a picture that shows this better than I can explain. This looks different than the other Kolb Firestar's I see on the Web. Was this an option on the part of the builder or a feature that can modified. I'm almost thinking this is an added safety feature but I do not know for sure. I'm inclined to think that the Lexan enclosure sans the metal frame is more appealing because it affords a better "view".

That windscreen doesn't look "stock"
But it does look like it would be cheap to put new lexan on it....
That was the reason I made mine like that...

I called Kolb today. Donnie answered the phone and said they sell a "winter" windscreen/enclosure kit for the Firestar that opens to the left and costs $495. plus shipping. I'm assuming they are referring to the one pictured on their Web site.

Hi John,
Holy Cow....Last I heard they were $350. and "I" thought that was expensive....500 bucks....do they fly up and install it for you ?
My project is looking more like an "investment" now...

I have a full enclosure for a Mark III Classic that I will never use.
It is a combination of vinyl and velcro. I would guess that it will
cost less than $10 to mail it. If anyone wants it, let me know. Vic in
