A friend gave me a Lee Bailey windscreen off of his Triumph 1050. I like the screen because it is of very high aircraft quality acrylic and has a reverse curve at the top to throw the wind up. It took a lot of cutting and trying but I finally arrived at a shape that is able to deflect the wind off of my chest without being so big it spoils the bikes looks. It had a good bit of vibration with just the two mounting points, so I triangulated and made a third point at the headlight bezel fastening screw. Now it is rock steady, effective, and can be removed in seconds with just two thumbscrews. It's hard to take a picture of clear plastic, but i'll try to show what I wound up with.

It works great.
 
Could even say it finished the front area. Btw might tend to re-aim head light after a while if bar mounts not kept up with.
 
I started out this morning for a brief ride and wound up riding 105 miles by myself just for the enjoyment of it. The pressure off my chest makes it simple to sit there and barely grip the bars. No danger of blowing off and no tiring death grip. I'm sure I will ride a lot more with this little wind breaker.
