I put a little spitfire windshield on my '78 KZ750. It works well and I think it looks pretty unobtrusive. At most angles you don't even notice it.

You can see it in this photo. My bike is second from the right.

In my experience, the small fairings, similar to oem fairing on BMW R90S, do little but protect a tank bag while riding in the rain.

They do look pretty cool in some applications, and might possibly offer some minimal reduction in wind resistance.

And perhaps rearrange the wind buffeting somewhat, for better or worse.

Good Fortune! :)

I like the Spitfire also. I have a large windshield like the one pictured, installed it, rode six mile round trip on a July day and I swear I lost 10 lbs in sweat. It blocked all the air flow except that coming from the motor. Must have been 150 degrees behind that windshield.
It's still leaning against the wall in the garage.

I'm thinking about buying another Spitfire.

I've fitted a couple of these Memphis Shades wind screens. I like them because they mount with authentic looking hardware. Some wind screens look like a strange insect that's just grabbed onto the front of the bike.

Here's the link:

I had one of those on a previous 750 twin and really liked it. PITA mounting it on Superbike bars though.
