Gustafsson is who supplied the windscreen for my RE5, in fact the 8th picture at the link is my bike with the optional 21 inch tall tinted. I have since switched to a clear as I did not like the tint at night. I spoke with Mr. Gustafsson about his knowledge of Calafia being the fairing supplier to Suzuki and he assured me that they were indeed the original supplier of the fairings to Suzuki. He said that he got his 21"windscreen pattern from Calafia back in the day. I supplied the standard 17.5" tall sample and the lower external trim panel pattern. He did tell me that he was not the original windscreen supplier to Calafia and that they either made them at Calafi or someone in California had supplied them. Just a little RE5 nerd bid of History.

Thanks Brian. Amusingly, the 7th picture is one of mine, fresh off the boat from Rotary Recycle in 2011.
When I broke my M shield, I glued it back together and took it to a local manufacturer of vintage bikini fairings and he duplicated it for me for $170 AU. The Gustafsson item when combined with the currently insane US to AU shipping costs and current exchange rate would, unfortunately, approach $1000 AU.
