Thanks BeeSting. I wish I worked in a shop too. These are jig saw specials, although the fork clamps are from Memphis Shades.

Jig saw and a little work with a file?
Nice work, they look real nice.

Haven't done anything yet :blush:
My buddy just got a 81 KZ1000K that needs a little work (normal wear parts) with 7-9k miles on it, and (after all the times I have posted how much I dislike the CSR and LTD) I think I'm going to swap my 750 twin for it.
And it has Superbike bars on it

All:
I am the neighbor that JMK refers to in previous posts. My windshield is a Slipstreamer, Model S-08. Here is a link:
www.slipstreamer.com/Product/Touring/touring.html
I am using Superbike handlebars and this windshield fits quite well. It surrounds the top of the headlight nicely. I have attached it at 2 points on the handlebars and 2 points for brackets coming out from the headlight side bolts. The windshield is quite secure. I have ridden at 85 MPH with it with no problems. It partially covers the hands. The top is about even with my nose, so that you can look over or through the windshield easily. It is a touch large, but it is nice to get out of the wind. I have removed it right now, since my riding is mostly to work at speeds below 50 MPH and the windshield blocks so much of the breeze, that I need more wind flow to combat the Houston heat.
Will post photos later.

I believe that is the exact windshield I had on my last 750 twin with Superbike bars.
And I think the one I will get.

The search is over!
I just got back from a 100 mile round trip to pick up the windshield that I bought for $30 (plus $16 in gas).
I got a National Cycle Plexifairing 3 in really good shape, aside from a small crack at the bottom, and it's the model that fits the 79 KZ750B. Looks like the Superbike bars will line up nicely, if not then I will lower the headlight till they do
Off to do a search for acrylic repair procedure.
I'll post a pic when I get it mounted (after Mid-Ohio).
