I made this screen about six years ago for a 1500km trip. I wanted to make something that would not alter the look of the bike. I fitted it temporarily just for the trip, just tying it on with wire over a protective rubber strip, so that the body work was not altered at all.
I drew the shape onto 4.5mm polycarbonate, and got a plastics shop to cut it out for me. There are cut-outs for the brake and clutch levers. I made a form, covered with a soft fabric, to get the side curves, and the bottom edge to conform to the Paso screen. Then I formed the screen in the oven of the local pizza shop.
I removed the screen after the trip, because I was living in the city, and rarely rode on the highway. Now I've moved to the country for my retirement, and spend more time on the highway, so I've fitted it permanently. I used four 5mm stainless coach bolts with lock nuts. I made isolating grommets out of several diameters of clear plastic tube.
It makes a huge difference at highway speeds.
The pad tied onto the tank is for my small dog to ride on. His harness is fastened to the ties. The pad is a 'dog bed' consisting of a hessian sack filled with straw. The ties are plastic-coated stretchy curtain wire, and the clips are made from strong plastic-coated coat-hanger wire.
