Apparently made by an Italian company called FACO.  Google translate on the above page shows very favorable reviews and the price seems very reasonable compared to other offerings.  I also found it here for only €45: https://tinyurl.com/y88oehlf
 
Anyone on here tried it?

Tried to buy it but won't ship to Canada. Looked like a good deal with great reviews.

Well I've now bought one of these screens.  It arrived from Italy yesterday and was extremely well packed in a very large box.  After initial inspection it appears to be very well made of a nice thick plastic (4mm) and includes all the fittings necessary to attach it to the existing mounts on the Tracer.  I will fit it this evening and include a few photos.  No test rides yet as we are still deep in snow here.

Ok the screen is now fitted and I must say I'm very impressed.  The supplied fittings are robust and of good quality and the screen sits really nicely.  It really follows the lines of the bike.  It's bigger than the original without being a barn door.  I've taken a couple of photos but the lighting in my garage is rather bright so it might be a little difficult to see.  Plus the bike is tucked away in a corner for it's winter hibernation so it's difficult to get really good shots.

The screen has a nice light tint to it.

The original screen held in front at the correct position for comparison.

Gomer...If you copy the description from CaptainScarlet into the search bar on Ebay.CA  it will find it on Ebay in the UK. From there you can order and it will deliver to Canada. Mine just got to FedEx today

Just took a 1st ride today with my new Faco windshield. For me it works GREAT! I am 5'10" tall and with the Faco windshield in the high position the wind coming over the shield contacts me just above my eyes. Just enough to make the venturi effect work for the vent in the top of the helmet but not enough to push my head backwards. Its the 1st time I have been able to ride the bike with my face shield partly open without getting a blast in the face. Highly recommended for looks, function and so far no buffeting.

That is great news.  I am also 5'10".  Unfortunately my first ride looks to be some way off as it is still snowing here.....😭
