I bought a used broken stock windshield on ebay(cheap)
 then I bought a Memphis shades tinted shield from J.P.Cycles.  comes with all the front brackets.  just added the rear stuff from the ebay one,  and got the following.

also,, proper height for a windshield is  nose even with top of shield.  this is what many dealers have told me.

Windshield lexan is 17" with French Curve from Clearview. I used original brackets and drilled 4 additional hole in winshield bag. I purchased 4 longer windshield torq screw to hold bag. The screws that are used where the brackets meet are longer.

Who knows? I might even like this W/S! I wish it came tinted though. Hoist!  8-)

Hoist, get a tinted W/S with Eurolip from Clearview...I guarantee that you will be impressed with the quality.  The tint is more to the gold side than gray on the one that I have.  I've used several from Harley and Memphis Shades over the years, and none have come close to the Clearview.  The Lexan is much thicker than stock, and the Eurolip is great.

Thanks SCRM-R for your help with this. I ordered the complete windshield assembly from HD. I'll have a real, 5-hole winshield frame to work with that way. I can replace the Lexan and use my windshield bag too. I'm working with the Clearview guy on the height I need for their shield. This seems like the way to go whether you're changing the Lexan or not. Appreciate everyone's help. Hoist!  8-)

Thanks for the picture, you’re right it looks great mounted lower like that.  Did you reposition the backing strip or is it just supported by the leather?

Thanks

I left the bag as is. I drilled through the metal strip. It takes a little patients to get the holes spaced properly. It can be done. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Anyone seen a windshield frame like this one?
The MoCo used to offer it back in the late 90's and I think it just really makes the windshield look so much more finished.
Sorry I can't find a better picture - If your interested see my link in selling area of site.

Maybe I was just lucky, but I was able to find a very good full size RK windshield on ebay for less than half of a new one.  I also bought a set of RK windshield hardware for next to nothing on ebay.  I plan on ordering a Clearview shield to go into the 5 hole frame.  That will give me 3 different windshield for my SERK.

No, I do not have OCD!!!

I received the new W/S today. I ordered HD PN 58325-06 Mid-Low Profile King-Size Detachable Windshield $324.95 List (255.11+freight, Zanotti's). I put it on my '03 RK . It's a perfect height. Couldn't try it on the road yet. Man, it's 60 deg but it's pouring out today. But based on the height, I don't think I'll need that Clearview right away. It's complete and mounts normal. 5-hole frame for w/s bag. And I can mount my skull trim too. It's all good this time! Hoist!  8-)

FWIW I ordered a Clearview today 04/24/07 --- an 18" light tint with the recurve. ETA is now seven to eight weeks!!

I ordered a Rifle 17" light grey for 129 and 9.50 shipping which is reasonable and got it in 4 days.  I'm very happy with it.  I was afraid I would not like the distortion of the Clearview recurve.
