Default Windshield for 2000 Sportster 1200S

Hi,

I am looking to buy a windshield for my bike. I don't want to spend a whole lot on it and don't want it to be very bulky either.

I was looking at H-D XL Light Smoke Sport Windshield Kit 58192-87a, and was looking for some kind of reviews from folks who have used it. I am 5'9".

Thanks,
Max

Half of hd windshields are after market. So check some windshield sites and save your self 80 to 100 bucks . you can always buy HD sticker for the front of it if you went.

I don't really need an HD windshield if I knew some good after market replacements. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

i just picked up the memphis shades del rey and a quick release mount kit
for $162 shipped from pro1 out of tennessee, the mount kit was $30
cheaper than anywhere else on the web or local to me plus free shipping

Sure, you could change a water pump with vice grips too but it's not the right tool for the job.
He should sell the Sport to someone that could appreciate a Sport for what it was designed for and buy a bike that was designed to be a bagger.
