On the recommendation of a previous post, I purchased the wind deflector from Touratech. Great device, I can ride with my visor up at any speed (well, I've only been up to 140 kph with it), and my pillion reports almost a total absence of turbulence behind me, whereas previously she was complaining of buffeting.
But as mentioned in the earlier post, the device attaches with a simple over-the-centre lock mechanism, and can be easily removed by the less savoury members of the population.
So I detached the metal bracket (3 small bolts), and bolted the perspex deflector directly onto the GS screen using 4 5x20mm stainless steel bolts. I retained the rubber feet, threading the bolts through them, and used nylon washers on the inside.
Still works great and is more secure.
As for the relative aesthetics, I will leave that to your own opinion.
Since I haven't worked out how to attach two photos to the one post, this first one is the 'before', and the 'after' is on a second post.
