alan, i am planning to get a windshild like yours, nice shield, looks nice and protects from wind all over. but than i realized that i do not have a garage and i park my bike outside all year round and cover it. so with windshield it would not be possible to cover or i'll need a wind shield cover separately. i do not need small shield just for cosmetic reasons.

any suggestions. thanks

Believe it or not, you are not the first person to have this dilema !!

You just shop for a cover carefully. For that purpose, your GZ is NOT a small if it has a shield attached. Many covers are made specifically for bikes with windshields. Read the box carefully.

Sorry Geeze, I park mine in the garage and haven't looked into a cover. (Out here I probably wouldn't bother with one anyway.) Let me know what you think of the shield and if you come up with any interesting mounting ideas.

I garage mine too.

Check out Wally World for a cover. Size large will do the job with room to spare.

I also have the SPITFIRE.On & off in less than a minute.No loss of adjustment.Fits bike very well.

Me and the Geezer have been spending a little more time together ever since I put the crappy saddlebags on her, and so I had some more motivation to screw with the Plexistar II mounting. Not sure if these are even sold anymore, but, I figured I'd do one final post on this just for closure.

I actually have done three significant revisions to my mounting recently, some of which involved me relearning from mistakes made previously. Screwing around with your Plexistar is not unlike sex - the more you do it, the better you get at it. And there's the mounting...

Revision number one was made to address two problems - difficulty locking the front wheel and rattles of the lowers against the forks. Although I fixed both problems, the result was I ended up with the shield up too high and too far in front of the speedo. This created a new more annoying problem - lots of air coming up right through the bottom of the shield - sort of defeating the purpose.

My last two revisions were my efforts to:

1) Cut down on the gap between the shield and the speedo.
2) Maintain the rake with the fork angle.
3) Eliminate any rattles.
4) Try to keep the thing fitting to the bike geometry, especially in the brake/clutch, upper triple tree and turn signal stems.

There is a point of diminishing returns, the shield is only so high, and the hand guard cutouts are not perfectly placed for the GZ, but I think I have finally achieved the best overall fit. See pictures below.
