I Had one on my 89  YEARS AND YEARS ago.... It really didn't do much for wind protection unless you kinda tucked your head down behind it.....

It looked ok mounted....... I MIGHT have a pic laying around somehwere with it mounted...

I bought one for my 89 and it didn't fit, I would have had to take the dremmel to it, so I returned it.

I had one of those on my '93 a few years ago. I ended up selling it on ebay because it never really looked right. It's a neat looking fairing, but it doesn't really match the lines of the GS and the gauge pod interferes with the windshield so you need to space it up a little bit. Just looks awkward. IMO you're better off finding a Buell, Ducati, Targa or other similar screen that fits a bit better and flows with the lines of the bike.
