Sport Touring windscreen?

[michaelbluewolf]

I have been looking for a larger/wider windscreen for my 1992 Kat GSX 750 F I haven't had much luck.
Anyone have the same problem or know where I might find one?
Thanks in advance!

I recently installed the Zero Gravity Sport Touring screen. It
is about 30% taller and 10% wider than the factory screen.
I think it helps keep the buffeting off my chest which was
wearing me down. Now the air mostly gets my neck and
helmet and if I tuck in I can get under the screen for a very
smooth quiet high-speed ride.

But this is not a touring screen. You still get wind on your
arms, neck and face. They do make even bigger screens which
are more touring oriented but they really detract from the sporty
style of the bike.

I believe a search will yield some useful threads on this topic.

I don't know about you guys, but on long rides I REALLY like having the wind pushing against my chest. It takes some of the pressure off of my wrists. I know if I tuck to the point where the wind is hitting me "squa" in the visor I hate it. You guys look into those robotic windscreen thing-a-ma-jigs?

You will be very limited in options of a sport-touring screen because of the age of your Kat. However, do a search as this subject has come up a few times.

The problem is that I commute on the bike and frequently ride behind
another vehicle. The result is alot of buffeting on the arms and shoulders
which cause me to have to make small corrections and grip the bars too
tight.

With a slightly bigger windshield the buffeting gets pushed out and up.
I still get airflow but it doesn't push me around. On a road with few other
cars and little wind I agree that the stock windshield is probably fine and
may even help take a little weight off the wrists if your reach is at the right
angle (my arms a rather long so I get pushed back more than pushed up).

The Zero Gravity ST shield does have the nice property of getting you
out of the wind entirely if you get flat on the bike. So if you are into high
speed runs this is a nice feature. No more pressure up against your helmet.

Thanks for the info.
I may try the ST screen from Zero Gravity. I too ride on I-95 alot. The dirty air from all the trucks and car{caged peeps] kinda buffets me around. Feels kinda silly lying on the gas tank at 70MPH not to mention the bike is still jumping around at times on windy days. It's not bad but, I would like to ride in a better position.
I talked to the local glass shop owner yesterday to see if he had any ideas. I know that I am messin with the aero of the bike and not sure what or how to design it so it may be best to try the Zero Gravity unit and go from there.
Wishing, I had access to an oven to form the lexan and a way to test it!
Anyone know anyone at Hendrick's Motorsports? I'm sure they have access to a wind tunnel. LOL

Here's a universal approach to a fixed windshield.
