I picked up a nos Yamaha mini-cruiser wind shield. Not sure what year or model it was made for, had to fab a couple of plexiglass attachments to set it correctly for my '83.
Tried it out on a 40 mile run, I'm going to stick with the goggles. Just can't get used to the thing.

Occasionally a nice old Vetter shows up on ebay. Just make sure the mounting bracket is for the XS. For a windshield only you might look at the Spitfire . I have one and for a "universal fitting" product I think it does a pretty good job.

I gave up on my Spitfire for reasons described elsewhere. I still have the hardware kit in my spare parts bin someplace. The screen itself I tossed out, as it was broken and left jagged spear points of plastic sticking up. If anyone wants the mounting hardware, PM me, and I'll give it to you for the shipping only. You can't buy a replacement from the company direct- best bet is to check with e-Bay suppliers....
