I mentioned this in another thread and some pics were requested, so here they are....
It's a PITA to fit a windshield to a XJ because of the multi-piece bars with the semi-square risers. Somebody built these; 2 pieces of 1" round stock 2" long, with a 6mm hole in the center. They turned the outer half down to 7/8", but you wouldn't need to do that given all the bikes that use 1" bars.
Install is easy; remove the 'trim plug' (if it's even there) and the center bolt for the bars and bolt these on with a long bolt. You now have a 'stub' to attach the windshield clamps to.
I think I'd apply plenty of locktite to all the contact surfaces, but it seemed to work...
