Has anyone fitted detachable windshield #59802-05 onto their FXDWG3 (with mini-fairing removed)?

H-D website would suggest it should fit, as it has 2002 FXDWG listed under fitment:

Issue I'm having is the cutout around the headlight interferes with the headlight trim ring.  I had the exact same issue with the windshield kit I'm replacing (unknown part number but it is a genuine H-D kit).  I'm not willing to cut this one.

My guess is there is a different mounting block and/or headlamp housing on the FXDWG3 vs. standard production FXDWG.

The FXDWG3 parts manual shows the mounting block as #67627-97.  I believe the orientation is correct as installed.  It does not work if the block is either mounted backwards or upside-down as there are clearance issues.  The manual shows the headlamp housing as #67777-80A.

Can anyone provide the mounting block and headlamp housing part numbers for a standard 2002 FXDWG?

Can look up parts for 2002 FXDWG here for the comparison.

Thanks.  Looks like a different headlamp assembly mounting block.  The one listed on the link you provided is #67772-97.

Mystery solved.  The headlamp mounting block is indeed different.  Different enough to position the headlamp to interfere with the windshield cutout.

Part needed is #67772-97 which fortunately is also chrome plated.

Subtle difference that looks good .

Thank you!  I'm very happy with this setup, both with the windshield installed and removed.

Finally got a chance to ride it.  First I aimed the headlight and put the windshield in its final position.  Perfect fitment with the headlight housing relocated via the standard FXDWG mounting block.

The old windshield attached on rubber mounts, a lot like how a Road King windshield mounts, and would flex and vibrate a lot.

This one mounts with the newer style clamps directly on the fork tubes.  Much more solid and does not shake or flex at highway speeds.  It's very solid.  In addition, I bought the one locking clamp so it (and the mounted bag) won't disappear.
