right they dont really go into windscreen, but they do hold the upper fairing down to the support brackets, kinda making it feel as though its hold windscreen down. maybe thats what he is talking about.

I made some out of Aluminum some time ago on my 900RR. all i did was get some 2.5mm aluminum, trace out the base of the mirror with a pencil along with the holes. I then cut out each place with a jig saw equipped with a metal blade. the holes were drilled and everything had a rough cleanup with a bench grinder. the final shaping and smoothing/polishing was was done by hand with wet sand paper up to 800grit. all it all it was about an hour of work "tops"

I bought some from this guy on 600rr for 25 bucks shipped. He made them from carbon fiber. I like them a lot and they are not expensive
