Original Honda windshield?

Gents:

Did such a piece ever exist? If not, have any of you found an aftermarket piece that nicely integrates into the aesthetic of our bikes?

I don't think Honda ever made windshields for these bikes. Even the CB750 Police model had no windshield - it had a siren, special oversize speedometer with "needle hold", front and rear crash bars plus a rear bumper bar, red flashing lights, and a solo seat with a locking "document" box behind it. But no windshield.

I have the wixon fairing and I liked how it looked and handled on the bike.

No, it is my first 750 that I am now parting out. The 750 that I have in the BOTM thread is my second 750. First one was a great touring bike and when I sold(gave) it to my nephew, he parked it outside uncovered and it took too much of a beating for me to revive it.





If I had more $ to throw at it, I would have loved to have gotten it on the road again. But the $ was not there and so..... I decided to let live again on many other peoples bikes. I still have the wixom fairing and if I can locate where I put the brackets, I will sell it also.

Sad story. It is really a shame how some guys don't take care of their toys.

Don't give him any other bikes!

Is that a set of Lester Mags I see?   Sell them to get some resto money.
