I had something like that years back when I bought my Yami Virago. Took it off as soon as I got home.

Sorry, but that is way too European scooter f@g looking for me.

Yes they do, but that totally looks like a fairing. No a clear fairing shaped windshield.

I was thinking clear windshield with added hand protection. Just little wider at the bottom, one piece thing. Doesn't look a bit like a scooter to me. Or does it ;-)

Ignore them! As a European I haven't a clue what they are on about. National Cycle also make the sort of thing you mention, as do Givi, who are European! You may have to use universal fittings, rather than a fitting kit made to for your model.
