 Eric,

I have the original mounting brackets (the ones that mount to the top fork
plug and the fork bracket). To those brackets I mounted a National Police
fairing. To me that is the best look for the bike. I believe the brackets
can be had for $40 and the windshield around $160. Of course if you have the
single speedo nacelle it will need to be notched. My 69 Ambo was already cut
so I didn't have a problem with the brackets but I can understand the
hesitation to cutting the nacelle.

The Harper's brackets (and others) clamp around the forks and hold the
windshield differently...higher up I think. Looks equally nice in my
opinion.

After riding to the National I really appreciated the shield. After 600
miles of riding in one day I wasn't tired at all....of course much of that
had to do with the solo seat.

I would be interested in the mirror info as well.

Thanks for the information. Are you riding to nationals again?
