I have purchased windshields from Pilkington.  They sell both tinted and 
un-tinted windshields for the Alpine/Tiger Series IV & V configuration.  
My last discussion with them was a couple of years ago and I bought two 
untinted windshields from them to fit "stock" Tigers.  That was all they 
had on order from their supplier and I had to wait about 6 months for 
delivery from their source,  They had several tinted windshields in 
inventory at that time.  They are not cheap and shipping is a MAJOR 
factor.  Several can come in the minimum crate they use.  I picked mine 
up at the local San Jose distrubution center.  If you want one, and 
shipping to your home, be prepaired for sticker shock, if they can even 
do that.  They are a major distributor for repair shops, so the Tiger 
stuff seems to take a back seat.  The fit and clarity is OEM and it is 
the correct thickness for Rick's rubber.
They were very pleasant to deal with but schedules are not firm for 
parts not in inventory.
