Possible SM650 windshield option

I've had some contact with a company called Gustafsson Plastics from St Augustine, FL. We've been discussing them making a windshield for the Super Meteor that is a bit taller and a bit wider than the RE touring windshield that would use the stock mounting brackets. I kind of used this forum as a potential source of customers. A lot of SM650 owners seem to want such a thing. I've even dangled the carrot of them being first to this market. The windshield I asked them to develop would be 4" taller and 4" wider (2" on each side, duh).

So far, nothing has come from this communication other than some friendly conversation and the exchange of a bunch of photos and measurements.

Looking at the other products they have on display on their website, I don't think this windshield will come cheap. Several of their other offerings are about $200.
Is anybody else really interested in something like this?

WIthout committing myself, I'd certainly take an interested look at another alternative to the stock windscreen (which I currently have).
That's great! I'm not trying to sell anything with this. I guess I'm just trying to drum up interest to get a company to make something that I want to buy. I have no interest in this other than trying to get a more comfortable ride. Manufacturing and selling stuff is WAY out of my wheelhouse. I'm a retired nuclear power plant operator.
Reading this and other forums (including ride reviews) I came to the conclusion that there were a lot of other owners that are dissatisfied with the coverage of the SM650 touring screen. A Google search pointed me to Gustafsson Plastics as a company that does "custom" windshields.
Nothing against the Indian vendors out there, but it'd be nice to be able to source something here in the states.
