    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Contemplating Fairings... 1982 GS750T

I am contemplating a new windscreen for my 1982 GS750T. The one I currently have is cracked, and surrounds the light with opaque black, extending to include some protection for the hands. It is somewhat functional, but not real pretty. Besides, I would like something a bit higher as right now the wind hits me from the neck up.

What are some names of distributors/manufacturers who make stuff like that... I mean, does anyone still make something to fit exactly, or would I likely find only a universal screen?

Really, I prefer the look of "no windscreen", but the wind protection of a nice high one. Definitely want something clear with a nice rounded top, somewhat cruiser like, as opposed to a small swept back fairly useless one like I have already...

Any suggestions?
 
Depending on the look you want.... I have one of these (identical, except black)

It has a great cafe look, but excellent wind protection. A really good compromise.

The fairing above shown in red is exactly what I have now on the bike - except black, and with the crack. I enjoy reasonable protection from wind with it, but still get a fair blast of wind from the neck up. I like the fact that I get some protection for the hands as well.

However, I was thinking of a totally clear, rounded top windshield with chrome mounting hardware, similar to what is found on newer cruisers. I doubt that anyone makes one specific for this bike, so I will likely be looking at a universal fit type. If I can't find something that will work, and looks better than what I have, and at a reasonable cost, I will stick with the one that I have, and perhaps paint it.

Thanks
