    Windscreen/fairing question

    Does anyone have a recommendation on where to find a windscreen for a 1980-1981 GS750E?

          That's a Kawasaki GPz fairing from 81/82. Find on eBay or Airtech

            "Maier" makes a couple for rectangle headlights, I can't say for sure if will work on a lunchbox.

              Yes, fork mounted. In '83, GPz750 got a frame mounted fairing.

              2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

                Try BikeBandit, eBay for used or NOS parts. GSResources forum is also a good source for vintage GS parts.

                  Bikebandit is defunct - For good reason.

                  Google says:
                  BikeBandit.com was a motorcycle parts and accessories retailer that ceased operations on February 7, 2022, after filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The company, founded in 1999 in San Diego by Ken Wahlster, was known for its extensive online catalog and was once ranked among the top 500 internet retailers. After several ownership changes, the company was ultimately acquired by Vey's Powersports and later filed for bankruptcy under Vey's Bandit LLC. I've never bought from Vey's. Don't think I would.

                    I had one like that on my 1000G for a while. It was a Maier I think. Can't remember where I got it. Probably EBAY. Of course, it was for a round headlight.

                      I just ordered this one. I'll let you know how it goes.

                        Hope that works, but the "80" & "81" GS750 E, as in your first post, had a rectangle (lunchbox) headlight. This one seems to be for a 7" round headlight !!!

                          Good catch! Sorry if my post was misleading. Yes, my 850 has a round 7" light.
                          He could always convert to the same, unless he's trying to stay OEM.

                            I received the fairing, installed it, took a ride around the block, came home and removed it. Just not you'll look I'm going for.
                            I'll let it go to for $50.
                            I'm having a really hard time posting photos on this site. If you're interested and want pictures, PM me.
