Gustafsson Plastics http://bikescreen.com/ You have to drill your own holes, which requires two different drill bits, specially designed for the fragile plastic. TAP Plastics carries them. How tall are you?  I have had two different oversized windscreens (4" over and 6" over), and can make a recommendation based on your height.

I like a clear, tall screen for winter and a shorter, smoke one for summer.  Go too tall and it looks silly, like Lincoln's stovepipe hat.  The stock one is awful, esp. the shorter stock one on the 650.  Hard to duck behind, and upright it trows all the buffeting wind right at you.  I once bought one 10" over stock and ended up shortening it myself with a plexiglas-rated scroll saw.  For the holes I like to make a paper template from the stock screen to use on the new one.  The plastic windlace material is available, to approximate the stock windscreen trim.    Report
