Thanks Dave,
So that sounds like a recommendation for .080 or .093? I don't have a
micrometer but the current windscreen starts to pulsate at a little over 75,
so it must be .060(?)
There are some fairly sharp curves on my KF2, which is where the cracks
occurred. I am planning to use the old pieces as templates and cut the new
with a Dremel with a cut-off wheel. With that I should be able to also
smooth the edges. I imagine that using the right kind of drill bit to drill
the rivet holes is important too, don't want any cracks there. A
metal-drilling bit?

Bob,
060 will work and easy to work with
it will flex over 75 mph .
I have .125 and it is harder to work with.
Make sure you smooth the edges well as cracks can propagate from Lexan if
not smoothed .
