I was wondering if anyone has a windshield on their 07 SE Springer? I've looked at OEM windshields but they won't fit because of the mini-tach. Anyone making an aftermarket that will look good & fit with a mini tach? Or better yet does anyone company make an instrument panel w/Speedo & Tach so I can take the tach off the handle bars and mount it in an instrument panel along with my switch & speedo? Any help or pics would be appreciated thx!

Try looking in the H-D catalog at removable windshields. Wife and I have them on both of our 08 Springers and no problem with clearance of tach.
The brackets bolt to the side of the tree. This pic might help.

I had no problem installing the HD Compact detachable windshield on my 08. No problems clearing the tach, even though the HD catalog says it will not fit.

From HD catologe. Cut down about 2 1/2 inches

I have also been looking at windvest. hands down they have the better looking windsheild without that harley crossbrace in it that looks like stink. what height did you get 10' or 14?

[leeinmemphis]

14". It should be here in the next couple of days.

[leeinmemphis]

well it showed up today. I installed it in about 10 minutes and I think it looks about as good as a windshield can on a springer. I haven't ridden with it yet and probably won't until tomorrow but I do think that I will like it.

Hello Leeinmemphis!

I've seen your pics with the mounted Windvest windshield.

Can you tell me the exact part number of your windshield? Is that the 10-1036C (14" clear) ?

Thank you in advance for your info

Yes that is the part number for the shield. I ordered direct from windvest in case I needed to do a return. I hope to ride with it a little today to see how it works. I would probably prefer it to be a couple inches higher but I like the low profile look and it has to be an improvement over no windshield at all......at least I hope so.

[DARK EAGLE can you post a few different angles of your 16' windsheild on your bike? i am 5'7 would i be able to see over this window? thanxquote author=DarkEagle link=topic=49019.msg730371#msg730371 date=1273663454]
There are a couple comments from springer owners on the Windvest.

Key is finding that sweet spot when setting the angle or you get too much turbulance.

Read 10" too short, 14" ok by most. I set my 2009 SE3 bars 1" higher with the 2007-2008 riser studs & considering the mini-tach, so I ordered the 2007-2008 FXSTSSE 14" direct from Windvest.

Wanted more deflection so talked with them on going with the Standard springer 16" wide using the 2007-2008 FXSTSSE handlebar clamps. Works a lot better & they had no problem exchanging but had to convince them the 16" was the way to go, still can see over windshield although I'm "average height" under 6'.

It is expensive but well built & nice eye candy with the clean look & chrome billett. Got the tinted version to compliment the black.

well I rode the bike last night and the windvest is going to be just fine for me. I only got up to about 60 mph yesterday but no turbulence at all. It really makes riding the bike more enjoyable.
