Hi all, I am about to purchase HD's Detachable Windshield for my 08 Softail Custom. Was wondering if I needed to purchase a relocation kit for the front blinkers or does the windshield fit nicely over everything.

Thanks

 

Same bike here- I bought the quick release HD shield with the clamp mechanisms and it's easy on/off and does not leave any hardware on the bike. Be aware that even though it blocks a lot of wind, it does however creat a great amount of updraft under the shield. Frustrating, but I'd still rather ride with it on that without it.

 

You should consider the Windvest. I had the HD Quick-Release windshield. In my opinion, the Windvest looks better, works better, and is less expensive. Plus, you don't have to relocate anything. To mount it and take it off, it only requires one allen wrench to remove 4 allen bolts.

 

You do not need the relocation kit. I bought Live2Ride's WS and it slipped right on, no problem, no relocation kit needed.

Ps I have the relocation kit in a bag if you want to buy one anyway.

 

Makes you wonder why HD says you need to relocate them. I guess they just want more $$$$$$$$.....

 

Thanks Live2Ride. What size of shield do you have? I do like the looks of them. A lot smaller and not nearly as noticeable.

Thanks

 

Another vote for the WindVest, very comfortable on the chest area and plenty of adjustments for buffeting.

 

I have the 14". It fits perfectly in the middle of my 12.5" Wild 1 Chubbys.

 

Would it fit fine with stock everything?

Can HD dealers order these for you?

Thanks

 

My Harley windshield for an 07 came with the relocation kit for the turn signals right in the box, check with your dealer.
