If time is a concern i would go to Walmart and buy a roll of their amber tape desgned for temporary fixes for signal lights. And you maybe be able to use packing tape to secure the windshield depending on how bad the crack is. I might run some heavy duty plastic cement into the cracks on windshield and then tape over top until you can find a new windshield.

 

Be careful though, you dont want to have pieces of the windshield coming back at you at hiway speed.

That shouldn't happen to anyone but to happen just before you leave for the Smokies - sure feel for you Tom!

ditto on the turn signal fix, lens repair tape. take the windshield of and ride up here, you can borrow mine ('83), I seem to have some "electrical gremlins" so I've got some figuring to do. I could send it to you, but won't be able to do so till Tuesday at the earliest. I've also got a marginal one from a MkII, there's a chunck missing from the bottom edge, but if it helps you you can get it and keep it. Don't ask for pics, my 'puter won't recognize my camera
