I got one of the Powerbronze touring shields for my 98F3. It basically raised a 3"
lip vs the stock form. It helps some, the wind breaks about shoulder level.

I'm thinking of using the old OEM and cutting the top off of it and forming a winglet,
with rubber washer spacers, to get it to break just above my eyes.

Good luck, Ern

I just paid 35 for an eBay one from 94 racing. Works great and it's just as thick as stock.

I like this idea... After looking at the MRA Vario ( MRA Vario Touring Motorcycle Screens | Windshields for your Motorbike ) The whole spoiler concept got me thinking.

If I can create a spoiler that is easily removable, I could make a larger than average spoiler to really cut down on the wind for a long ride (Not sure on the effects of fuel consumption), but take it off and still have my low, stylish windscreen for daily cruising around town.
