Hey, I've decided I need to replace the wind screen on my '95. Although I can't figure out which kind I have on there and where I would find a replacement. Please take a look at the pic below and leave me some help. thanks!

Make a poster board template of the windscreen and take it to a glass shop.Have them cut it out of 1/8 inch acyrilic glass(aka plexi or lexan).Take it and bolt it to one side of the fairng.Heat it with a hair dryer while placing light pressure on it.When it bends down an touches the other side,loosely install the bolts.Heat and slowly evenly tighten down the bolts untill it's tight.Then heat the entire windscreen for 10 minutes to help set the shape.
PICS are GONE never TO return.

I do believe Suzuki has discontinued the fairing. With that said, replacement parts are pretty hard to come by.

If you go this route, make sure you use one that is UV protected. Some of the cheaper acrylics will become brittle over time and after heating.

You could also get a wind screen from a mid-late GSXR and cut it to fit. It is larger but has a similar contour.
Common sense in not very common.

Some times you can find them on th UK Ebay site.They had more of them over there.
You'll have to make sure the buyer will ship to the US.

Dgyver Thanks for adding that.I was half asleep when I posted the 1st time.
I have heard tells that you can use a GSXR windscreen,but have never seen it,so I was unsure.
