Hi Charles, What's up. Sounds like a familiar story. I've been living in Vancouver for a year and a bit (Chinatown, specifically) and one of my bikes is an '84-550. You ride year-round in Vancouver? Brave soul, good for you. I actually had a windshield strut snap when I was moving here so I junked it, and I've been getting a bit wet since then. But I'm mostly a fair-weather rider and I like the look without the windshield better. Anyway the one I had fit really well. I don't know the make of it but if you're shopping around you might recognize it from this old picture: http://picasaweb.google.ca/lh/photo/8vhTvvZIEHgMPNQLf0V2ZQ?authkey=Gv1sRgCInkofqRgpe_DA&feat=directlink Let me know how that goes, can't wait to see pictures.
