Plexistar 2 Windshield - Moedad, Alan?

Thanks for the info, and I will check out my local dealer first.

I re-futzed with my Plexistar Two and I think I have finally arrived at a mounting that is:

1) The proper height.
2) A decent rake.
3) Matches the bike: handlebar, cables, fork wise.

I went with a different mounting than Moedad - I flipped the holders for the bottom around so they push the bottom of the shield up and out further than the standard(??) mounting. (Note: The Plexistar instructions encourage you to be creative with the mounts, so I don't think my approach is anything less safe or sturdy than Moe's.) Couple of other notes:

1) Make sure you have at least 1/4" clearance for the hardware from the fork and the tubes. 3/8" would be better.
2) Make sure you have at least 3/8" clearance for the shield from the bike. 1/2 - 3/4" would be better.
3) If I wasn't so lazy, I would remove and flip the pipe clamps around so the tightening screw is accessible from the front of the bike instead of the inside.
4) You can't see it in the pictures, but the end of the L attachment is flush with the end of the clamp.
5) You need to pull the shield out and up as you are tightening the pipe clamp to get the proper clearance - it will want to hug the fork and tubes too close.
