When I had a windshield on my Windjammer break, I just took the pieces it up to the local Motorcycle shop and they sent it off to someone who made another one for me. Turnaround about a week. Cost was about $50.

I just got a great wixom fairing for my 73 eldo.I need to replace the windshield as it is pretty scratched up.I was wondering if anyone on the list knows where i could buy a replacement.It is 1/4 acrylic and is pretty rugged stuff,has a greenish tint to it.I thought i would try buying a 1/2 sheet of lexan at home depot,cutting it to size,then bending it to the correct radius by carefully heating it over my barn heater,a large electric quartz tube affair.Any suggestions would be appreciated.Thanks,Scott K.
