Default '05 & earlier FXDWG with Memphis Shades windshield?

Looking for pics of '05 & earlier Wide Glides with the Memphis Shades windshield. Specifically wanting to see the mounting hardware & try to puzzle out if I want to put a windshield on my '02 FXD.

pretty much the same as most windshield mounts. with 2 brackets on each side that go around you forks.. this is not a quick release, but it is the same setup

You got a close-up of the brackets mounted to the fork & your turn signal setup? Trying to avoid moving my turn signals, if possible, tho my biggest concern is whether the 'shield will clear my speedo.

I dont have the shield on right now,, my turn signal brackets sit above the triple tree brackets quite a bit, made mine barely fit.... Its 4 inches from the bottom of the lower windshield mount to the top of the upper windshiel mount.. so that is how much fork length you will need.. The windshield goes up from the front of the headlight, there is plenty of room in front of my tach. Your speedo does stick out further though

the wide glide forks are angled more.. I believe your windshield would go straight up a little more

Thanks. That definitely helps. Love my FL'd Super Glide, but it does make certain things a bit of a challenge.

My end goal is crash bar, leather bags & a low windshield. I'd seriously thought about a batwing fairing, but no way I'd be able to run my bars as far forward as I need to.
