The Windscreen On My 83' GPZ100 Has Cracks!

I've got at least one crack on each side of a mount hole. So, I'm looking at replacing it but, not sure about a GOOD DEAL, I've looked at one at Dennis Kirk

www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/P...eafCatId=&mmyId=9352




What do you all think? Does anyone know of a better deal? Mine has a smoked one on there now and that's what I want to go back with. Comments?

Dennis Kirk carries good stuff, but look at these websites first:

1. www.airtech-streamlining.com

2. www.rockwallbodywork.com

3. www.bikescreen.com/

I appreciate the response on this, I completely forgot about AirTech and they had a link to ZeroGravity. The ones at ZeroGravity seemed like a better deal all the way round.

Thanks again, Bill;)


BTW, MFolks, I'm liking the avatar of the F-4 Phantom.
Kinda hits home with me because, out of a 6yr obligation with the U.S. Air Force, I spent 2yrs in Japan crewing an F-4C (w/ a total of 1 yr Temp Time in Korea) and then finished up my hitch with about 8 months At Hamilton AFB in California, crewing An F-106 Delta Dart before being honorably discharged from there. Now that I think of it, my 83' GPZ kinda reminds me of ol' Tail Number 0595 F-4C.

I'm a USAF vet 1966-1974 AFSC 46270(Aircraft Weapons Mechanic)I've worked with F-105 B,D,F&G models,F-106 A&B models,A-37B's, UH1-N gunships, and F-4 C,D,E&(The German F-4G at George AFB Ca.) A couple trips around the world, Thailand twice,Calif twice.

How about that, we were in around the same time, except you went longer.

I went 1966- 70 active (with 2 years inactive, 1966-72') Was in vehicle maint (Charleston AFB, SC) for almost 1 year, then they wanted volunteers to crosstrain into other fields. I chose Jet ACFT, 1 & 2 eng and Japan as my Overseas choice. Went to Sheppard AFB for my ACFT training, then Misawa AFB, Japan to work with the F-4C (w/total TDY time of about 1yr to Kunsan AFB and Taegu AFB in Korea with a total time of 2yrs in Japan (& Korea) and then to Hamilton AFB in CA. to work with the F-106A and spent last 3months on alert duty. Sounds like YOU got a lot more out of the deal though. AFTER I had gotten out, I have wished that I would have stayed for another hitch. Spent 2yrs in the regular workforce (1yr rebuilding engines and 1 yr as a VW mechanic before I got a "Dual Status" Civil Service job working with the Army Reserves and got back into uniform in the Army Reserves dong 1 weekend a month and the 2week A.T. So I went from a WG-08 to a WG10 Step 5 started out working on Power Generation equipment (1,5kw -100kw generator sets, 5cfm - 500cfm air compressors, All powered support equipment and Smoke Generators), went on to be a Direct Support Mechanic and finally a WG10 Equipment Inspector working everthing mentioned before and including Fork lifts up to 10K lb, Cranes 7 1/2 - 25 ton, Armored personell carriers, M88A1 Tank Retrievers and the Bradley Fighting Vehicle Ended up with a 28yr military career and full retirement from the military and 23yr retirement from Civil Service.

Take care, Bill

BTW, I got me a NICE windscreen from a fellow over on the GPZ1100Owners forum and for a decent price too! Nice deal I got! But, when I went to replace the windscreen, I found at least two mount holes on the fairing, were broken up and put in the windscreen with washers over that area. Found a replacement on ebay, got it and it's on it's way here. Sure gonna have to do a paint job on the bike now! Had planned on it anyway, but this cinches it!

Take care, Bill;)
