    Holy Crapolly....that is about $650....for a bloody windshield??!!! I could have it custom built to the specs for about half that I would think!!
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      Looks like that may be for the 'sport' model with the cafe fairing. Sure wouldn't fit a Pacifico or Vetter .

      Yeah, for that kind of money I'd try to build it...

        Sure they haven't a clue what that fits........and it sure doecsn't fit any full fairing, no matter what the brand. For that price it should come edged in 14k gold!
        81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.

          For that price you could go down to someplace and have a really nice custom shield made for your fairing. Probably in just about any level of tint you wanted, in modern materials that hadn't been sitting around outgassing for for almost 30 years getting more and more brittle.
