Sportbikes with smallish/tiny windscreens?

I'm working on a mod that would look a lot cooler with a windscreen that looks kinda like a smaller version of the '08-'12 bike's windscreen. The smallest windscreens I can find are too long because they were made to plunge between dual headlights or they were made to float freely or protrude beyond the fairings. If I have to I will try to cut out the bubble from a cheap double bubble on eBay, but I'd still like to look at some other options. Any suggestions?

Edit: I guess I could always trim an '08-'12 windscreen as easy as a double bubble if I can keep a steady hand.

What about

National Cycle (available at Motorcycle Superstore) offers several different options that can be fit to a variety of Moto Guzzi California motorcycles. A minimalist windshield, called the “Flyscreen” just about covers the gauge cluster and provides a little wind deflection, but no serious protection from the wind.


I tried!

I think I found a way to design around it. That screen has no fairing running up it like the style I was looking for, but thanks!

LOL! It doesn't look like a hyper-miling project, so WTH is it?! It looks like they needed something which could be easily removed (only attaches over windscreen and solo seat cowl).

Not quite, but thanks!

I was looking for something from a 2005 to current era sportbike so that the windscreen shape would look like it fit with a semi-modern upper fairing around it.

I say "semi-modern" because most ultra-modern bikes are all moving away from that style now. The '88-'07 Ninja 250 and the '13+ Ninja 300 have what I call "floating" windscreens, but I'm looking for something that nestles into an upper fairing (cowling to the left, right, and bottom of it). I was going to blend the stock '88-'07 windscreen into the fairing, paint over both, then cut out a smaller windscreen shape to fit a more modern (but not too modern) windscreen design in it.
