i got it from davidcork.com....   it sells skidmarx products,,       its called a gs cockpit fairing... u can get all different color windshields         i kinda wish i got dark smoke so i could see threw it             but im happy with black


it was confusin when i first tried to install it,,      but after guessing where the brackets went(    i found out how they go            and if i knew from the beginning        it was real easy!!!

if someone gets it          i can help with instucntcions on putting it on,

Its the GS "OEM" fairing. (but also made by a bunch of Cos).

BTW- You put the windscreen on inside out.  :nana:

Not really, I just like it more "sport bikey".

Is that really inside out? Thats how my 89 came from the previous owner :? I guess I'll have to look into that tomorrow, hopefully it didn't scratch the paint

No I think it was supposed to be on the outside, the holes in the windscreen match up better on the outside. But I didn't know this at the time and "forced it", then decided it looked better...

Nice pick.   And nice pic.

Personally I think you both should shut up.
It looks alright. Kinda oldschool, which is good if your inot that kind of thing. I think a dual headlight setup with a small cowl looks better, but what do i know? I am but a loley GS rider.

The fairing does look nice.  The rims... well, you asked us not to go there, so I won't.  BUT what's with the POS OEM tires  :o .  Repeat after me- Performance and safety, then looks.  :nono:
