Does anyone have any suggestions for a windshield for my 82' GS750E? I don't want a big one, just one that keeps the bugs off, and the wind off my chest.

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Any vibration will be caused by your bike, not the 'shield. Keep your engine tuned, there will be no vibration.
No input at all, that I can tell. I have set the throttle lock on my wife's bike (click on the link in my sig) which has a larger 'shield on it, and ridden past a semi on the freeway with my hands off the bars.
Yeah, they were close to the grips, but not actually touching them. Did that just to see how much (if any) input there might be, but the bike tracked right on past the truck with no problem.In other words, I got about as much steering input on that experiment as I do when on my Wing.

Wow, $135 is not cheap haha. I saw a few on Amazon for $65-70, but I'm sure they are not very great. I think one was called the spitfire?

There are some here who have (or used to have) a Spitfire. Not acquainted with it personally, but take a good look at the hardware and mounting system. If possible, you want a 4-point mount to the bike. Some of the smaller shields only mount in two places, which might allow them to swivel on the bar (the usual mount). Having the additional mounting points prevents that.

Gotcha, I'll make sure to look out for that. It's been interesting riding without a bubble to re-direct the bugs away from me, but it's not awful, just different haha
