Hmmm, hard to say.  It might!

Would you be interested in spending the same amount (or less) on a known-to-work shield?  See this post (http://gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=29486#29486) and read to the end of the thread.

I'm not sure if you have been informed but you must meet the minimum age requirement of 45 years to utilize that screen on your GS.   :lol:

would the size of the first screen be to big. The wind might steer the bike on the highway !?

it won't look good on a stock GS...and the lights will be too dim..

Okay, maybe it wouldn't look good on a stock GS, but maybe one with a huge aftermarket can, fenderectomy, a Katana shock to raise the back of the bike up a little, and a wider rear tire, belly pan fairing, etc. . . anyway.  Just thought I'd pass it along.  I like it!

I guess you just hack that number plate off there.  That does look pretty boss.  How hard is it to wire up one of those?  

Sorry, Frost, not to jack your post.  I like that first wind screen, too.  Kerry's link to that F-15 was better though.

^^^^ how hard would that be to mount to the gs. i'm guessing it just mounts to the forks?

Easy to wire...It can't be much different from when I wired my Buell dual headlights.  I'll give you specific details if you buy one.  I think they strap onto the handlebars or something...You might have to make some custom brackets.

I like the looks of that little street fighter fairing...and i hate the looks on the BIG windscreens...

but for LONG trips...i'd prefer confort over looks...

A guy named Frost that lives in Canada is worried about getting cold?  :o
