I don't think you will find anything other than an aftermarket windshield.
I had mine ('90 Westy) replaced about a year ago by Safelite Glass, through
my insurance company.
Safelite says they have their own factory. Anyway, it has the tint strip
across the top and is no problem.
It has not leaked.
As for the chrome strip, it is chromed plastic and they discolor to
rust-looking afterwhile. The later
models have the all-black molding.
