    Hi Mr. boba,

    For a moment, I thought I was looking at a Slipstreamer S-03 (like I used to have on my bike) but the mounting hardware is all wrong. Here's my old windshield.



    This windshield had a couple of handlebar mounts and a couple of headlight bucket ear mounts. The windshield on my bike now is the Slipstreamer S-06. It has only handlebar mounts. For $70 you can order yourself a brand new Slipstreamer S-06.



    The handlebar hardware looks like this.



    I don't know what kind of windshield you have there. But mounting hardware can probably be had from the original manufacturer. Slipstreamer? National Cycle? Other? Hopefully someone will recognize that windshield. Can you find some generic hardware at the hardware store?


    Thank you for your indulgence,

    BassCliff

      The mounts on your shield look like early model Slipstreamer.

      Just looked at their site and saw that they don't sell directly, but I am sure you can get a list of their distributors.

          Too bad, I just sold my windshield in very good conditon with all mounting hardware for $45. I wouldn't invest $70 for hardware for that old windshield. Check craigslist for a deal or for about the same money you would spend on ordering new hardware get a new one online that has NO scratches.
          Or if you're handy, try to make your own mounts with something like hose clamps...2 smaller ones for the h-bars and 2 larger ones for the triple tree mount spots.

          p.s. $70 for used mount parts is a ripoff especially if you're not sure they fit. Offer them $15-20 if you can match them up, otherwise find yourself a better used parts supplier.

            Hi,

            As far as I know, those are the stock bars for the GS850GT. Many here like the Superbike bars. But those are a little too low for me over long distances.
