Default My new used windshield!

Well we were up stairs in our dealership movin some stuff around to make room for some lawnmowers since winter is almost here and I found an old windshield off an old cruiser motorcycle. Have no idea what bike it fit. It had the clamps to attach it to the handle bars. Look to me like it would fit the klx250. This windshield has been up there for who knows how long. Probably from the late 80's or early 90's. Its not very wide but is pretty tall. It fit my klx perfect! Wish it was a lil wider but oh well, it was free! Less clutter upstairs. Its scratched and has some scuffs. I used some plastic polish and it helps, I just need to get after it more. I bet I can get most of it off since I just did a small area at the top and it looks way better. The windshield is dirty from using it. Its made by B&S plastics. Heres some pics.

I've rode my bike with it on and it does good, better than nothing. Its been colder out and helps keep the wind off. Plus I can sit straight up and and see over it still and the wind doesnt really hit my helmet. It is easily removable. Doest work good when offroading. My visor hits it. Other than that works great.

Hmmm, first the windshield, then the Acerbis hand guards, then the panniers....
Do I detect a BMW 1200GS Dakar in your future? (Frankly, I'd love one!!)
Screen looks good, dude.
