In my shop this morning.


Note stainless steel lines. It also has new brake pads, pistons and seals, fork seals, longer spacer to stiffen springs, and new tires.



What I see with the new windshield installed. Got to cut this down some. Any suggestions?



Volt meter and clock. Looks like I need to charge the batt before I try to crank it.



Yes, that windscreen is entirely too high.



The rear rack is a NOS piece I've had for 20 years.

Nice 83.  The screen looks similar to those double bubble type screens.  Must be great at deflecting the wind.
Keep it upright and she'll always be happy!

It's not really as good as it looks. I still get buffeting around my helmet. So, I guess it's the perfect windscreen. It's black so you can't see through it, it doesn't block the wind, and it really doesn't look that good, now that I've got it on the bike.

On the plus side, it's very expensive.

Re-Vision

On the inside of screen use a scribe to mark off how many inches of  plastic you want to remove.  Protect the windshield with tape if you trim it with a bandsaw or use a handsaw.  Are you going to cut it down just because you don't like its appearance or it's interfering with your view?  BDC
