Reply to "Now that Roland Jaeckel has closed shop, where can I acquire a windshield (I'm in Germany)."

DIY-ers, AVOID IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!  Shipping a huge chunk of glass around the world is and always will be expensive. Pantera windshields have been sourced from S.America, Europe and the Far East. I have been at vendor's shops when a substantial wooden crate of ten windshields was first opened- to find an average of two broken in shipment. Reclaiming international insurance costs on broken glass is slow and does not often cover costs.

You also have a choice of clear or tinted versions, and std or oversized. Used windshields are invariably scratched or sandblasted by decades of use. Finally, a new, flexible rubber gasket (two versions of these, too- one with slits that mount the shiny trim and one without) can be upwards of $250. Once installed without cracking, you then get to fix the inevitable water leaks.... I've done two myself and I will not even help any more, not fun.
