Easy to make yourself just buy a piece of acrylic sheet (perspex) make a couple of brackets to bolt it onto mirror fixing. Like this one on my bike. Make a cardboard template first then cut acrylic to shape from it.

that don't look at all bad ,, I like it couple of questions how tall is it and what thickness would you suggest for the acrylic

15 inches from top of headlamp cut out x 20 inches wide. You may need to adjust height depending on your height. You need to see over top rather than through it. I made brackets from 1 inch x 1/4 alloy bar that I had available. Bent back at 70 degrees. Thickness 5mm
The windscreen has a slight curve across it, just heat it up in boiling water.

Here is a drawing of the brackets for mounting the screen the angle is 70 degrees

thanks jon will make a start now I have the bits

I did not use the mirror fixing screws because the metal is rather aluminum and maybe it can not withstand the vibrations.
So I made two bases fixed to the screws that hold the plastic lid under the steering wheel.

Here a few photos of mine:

yes I like that idea looks stronger

Good alternative fixing, but I have covered a few 1000 miles with mirror mount fixings and with a larger screen, no problem at all, and easy to remove screen if needed.

The underneath is where mine is mounted also, but most of the time i do not use a screen as i don't use the Townmate when it's raining. Duckrider your bike looks very nice in green.

adespin, thank you for your kind words.

Yes the green and blue are really nice colors.
I made it in pieces and i repaint it before ten years.


I have found some screens at the past , here are some links:
