Street Shield
Mine has the same model, all great minds think alike.Originally posted by FSCGunslinger
Where'd you get your windshield? Did you have to do any modifying to put it on? I'm looking for one for my red XJ.
I installed different handlebar clamps which are sturdier than the ones that come with this shield and the clamps accept the Street Shield mounting rods. This makes a rock solid combination at high speeds and is much more aerodynamic than the Plexi-Star II I used previously and it gave me a solid 5 mph increase on the top end on a still air day and better gas mileage to boot. Obviously you cannot drink a Pepsi and smoke a Marlboro while riding the thing but who cares, I'd rather have the 5 mph.81 Black "1179" Xcessively trick Super Special. One owner (me).Comment

There are plans for the erstwhile "new site" for a gallery. It's been suggested to sticky this thread but the site owner has been resitant. I have set up a Flickr group specifically for XS/XJ 1100 if you'd like to post there too.

There's also:

And these are some other good general bike photo groups:
