    The windshield says Powerbronze, no other markings on it.
    It's for sale if anyone is interested, because I won't be putting it back on. I'm afraid shipping will be costly to anywhere but Sweden though.

    It used what I think is the original headlight, just relocated. But the notches in the windshield (which look like someone filed them afterwards) make me think that maybe it wasn't made for this model. Without those notches the mirrors would hit the windshield almost instantly when steering. It was bad enough as it was with the notches, but the bike would be unrideable without them.

      You can remove the OEM mirrors from the handlebar and mount mirrors of a different design on the fairing itself, to overcome the problem of the OEM mirrors touching the windscreen when turning.
