If you decide to part-out the windscreen, please post on the "Trading Post" forum. I'm interested in something a bit taller than my Shoei Sport fairing, but not as much as an RT fairing. (Would like some leg guards (like Rob's?) also, but that's another lust.

Really nice-looking bike. I concur with you: If I owned it, I'd be looking for a cosmetic basket case to cafe, and would keep this one in its original configuration.

Cheers,

Thanks for the compliment.  Sorry, but I will be keeping the windscreen as it helped make it possible to take her out on a 45 degree day as we had here in Upstate N.Y. today.  FYI, it is made by National Cycle and says Plexistar 2 on it.  It does not look very old and may still be available.
Does anyone know if there is a rear mudflap available for these bikes with the BMW logo?  The OE BMW online catalogs show they are discontinued.
I happen to like the look of the bike with this accessory.
Thanks,
Jimmer

I just got one from Airhead Salvage, guy named Mike in Texas.  I think it was 25 bucks.  Sorry, no pictures.  I don't think it looks all that great, but it looks a lot better than the bike did before with road slime all up on my tail rack and the seat behind me.  And probably my back.
