I think you're past the use what you got phase with the toothpaste, etc.  home remedies, but for future reference anyone for else, we have used white shoe polish on plastic car headlights and it works pretty good for cleaning up the cloudy surface.

Toytuff,

There is a company in Australia that makes replacement windscreens, Eagle.  They have lots of models and developed modifications to stock and stockish patterns as well as their own designs.
They can add a lip tha has an upkick at the top to deflect the wind higher off the fairing screen to give the bubble behind the screen a bit more height.

Have you checked their offerings?  They have several screens for the Honda CX and GL 500/650 bikes. The CX500 with the cowling on USA models was fitted with a windscreen in other parts of the world and it was popular that way.  It might have survived longer in the US with that cowl and mini screen as it transformed the plastic maggot to something that looked a bit better to a lot better.  Depending upon your opinion of the maggot cowling.  They carry replacements for that cowling in a few variants.  So, they might have yours. Sorry I didn't think of it earlier.
Eagle Screens Australia is the company and website is eaglescreens.com.au

 I just stumbled across this. I was looking for Wixom but they have others.

Thanks guys! Although they do not carry the one for my Euro model they do custom manufacture.

I was thinking maybe this summer I would get in touch and send them my windscreen since I don't ride in the heat. They could pre-drill the holes also.

I don't know of anyone doing this in the States. Thanks again for the post.
