Frame-mount windshields are much better at high speeds than handlebar-mount, because wind will buffet the bar mounted windshield and tug on your handlebars causing unwanted and rather disconcerting weaving. Not many frame mount choices out there unless you can refit a Vetter fairing by modifying and re-welding the bracket mounts. I used a 1980 GS1000 Vetter frame mount for my ultra-rare 1979 Vesco Rabid Transit. Vetter fairings give superb wind and weather protection and are available at giveaway prices. Several CB1100 riders here have successfully mounted Vetters.

I used it for cold weather riding and it offered good protection. I had other windscreens but finally settled on the [url=https://www.dartflyscreens.com/products/honda-cb1100-classic-flyscreen]Dart classic flyscreen. The dart takes some pressure off my chest but keeps my helmet in clean air. I solved my cold weather riding issues by buying a second bike (ST1300).
I'll second the recommendation for Parabellum. I have the Parabellum Scout Fairing on mine and the difference is night and day. About 50% of my daily commute is highway at speeds up to 90 mph. Riding a naked bike was torture, now it's calm and pleasant. [Image: 2353a96e496526ca037fc584f8c29d6c.jpg]
