I bought my bike with about 6500 miles on it. It had a very short 3 1/2 or so high HD windshield on it. After having it for a bit, I noticed that at both fastening points on the side, there were cracks that were slowly growing.
I'd had a chance to try a bike with the HD Windspllitter and I liked the additional height, so I replaced my windshield with the taller Windsplitter.
Within a week, cracks developed at the fastening points. When I replaced it, I use the recommended torque settings. Didn't leave it loose or overtighten it. I talked to the folks at the dealership about getting in a new one and the parts guy said he'd check into it and see if he could get it replaced under warranty. HD replaced it under warranty.
When the new one came, I dragged him out into the parking lot. (lol, not really, he's a friend and neighbor as well). I had a torque wrench on me and we replaced the old one and put the new one on in the parking lot.
10k miles later......I have a new crack forming. I don't mind replacing with a more expensive option. I just want one that lasts. Any recommendations for a quallity brand that won't crack? Thank you for your suggestions.
