thanks in advance

i bought an ascot for my dad as a beginer bike. i never found anything for sorage or a windshield, but we did find some stuff at swap meets that we made work for a year or two. most if it was for other models but we made things fit.

Just found a rack, for my '83, from a guy on www.ADVRider.com (must be a member to see the classifides) they haven't made aftermarket for the Ascot in about a decade. Used is what you will have to look for or build one yourself.

rifle fairing went out of  biz, but  perhaps  somebody  bought  the  molds,  they  had  a  sweet  quarter  fairing  .  looks  great  and  works  sweet on  my bike.   a  gearing  change of  +1  on  the  front  and  -2  on  the  rear  really  makes  the  bike  behave   like  nothing else.    and  a  supertrap  &  K & N airfilter...    i  can imagine  what  a  modern  pumper  carb, like a  37mm  keihen  would  do with  it ...

I have a National Cycle windscreen on my CB750.  A bit bigger than what you may want, but the make (or made) many sizes.   I put it on to do a long road trip.  Never took it off.   Makes a big difference on the freeway.

RIfle  fairing  is  still in BIz,  they   have  the  perfect  1/4  fairing  for  it. have one on  mine,  just  needs  a  new  shield.  easy  fit up.    sorry  i  didn't  check back  sooner.  rifle.com i wouldn't  get  anything  bigger,  but  that is just  IMHO.   how  about osme soft  bags  for  over  the seat  ??   or  a  tankbag,  magnetic  or  strap  style.....  ????
