Oh man this is just awesome and inspirational, well done sir!
I'm curious, what windscreen are you using? I'd like to set one up like that myself if you don't mind sharing the knowledge on how you did it.

That is the windshield off my 1991 EX-500. Can't imagine there are too many around. Someone else used one from a Triumph Tiger.
I heated up the lower corners to bend them outwards and create a more upright windshield. It is bolted through the number plate at the bottom of the windshield and I also bent up some steel to make support struts that attach to the top bolts of the handlebar clamp and up to the windshield.
A little heat, properly applied, can probably make almost any windshield work.
It was supposed to be temporary for a trip, now it is seasonal.
And it works well. I hardly noticed it was only 11ºF while tucked in behind it on the way home tonight.
Boy, I can't wait to get a car...

You should ride over to new York in April to do the snirt run on tug hill with me and a bunch of other guys. Usually a muddy sloppy run with snow and ice

Sounds like many of my commutes.
I'll put it on the calendar.
