Default Fairing 'Windshield' for '92 FLHS Electra Glide

Does anyone know where I can get a windshield that will fit the fairing on a '92 FLHS Electra Glide? I had my local Harley dealer order one for me, but the mounting holes don't line up. I'm looking for one that is 9" high, but would consider anything close to that.
I have seen the batwing ones, but they all seem to be specifically fit for the batwing fairings.
I have attached a picture that shows the front of the bike... it's the only picture I have available right now, but can attach another picture later that shows the view from the other side if necessary.

Thanks!

so that is not a stock FLHS windscreen- the FLHS didn't have any fairing, but a windscreen similar to the roadking ( which was based on common owner mods to the FLHS "Sport Glide").


as a matter of fact that looks like a FLHTC...ElectraGlide Classic



if it has 5 screws straight through and 2 underneath, it is the 1995 and earlier type, which National still makes, check the Drag specialities catalog

Thanks mkguitar, I'll consider that when looking up the proper windshield.
I'll take another picture tomorrow of the screw positioning and will post again.

If you didn't buy the bike new it is possible you have the H-D FLHS batwing kit, which is essentially a glass-fibre shovel batwing with dedicated FLHS brackets. If so you probably need a late shovel windshield, which has 5 holes along the straight bottom edge. Cee Baileys sell them. This is my '83 shovel fairing on my 1990 FLHS, with home-made brackets, showing the chrome windshield mounting strip:

I should add... my father bought the bike new back in '92. He purchased all the add on accessories at the same time.

I've only ever seen one of those kits in the flesh, which were darned expensive to buy new IMHO! Your mounting brackets are neater than my home-made efforts, as one might expect.

Interesting, glad it was all purchased and setup back in '92 instead of dealing with the headache of looking for parts now.
I'm surprised that simply looking for a windshield has turned out to be a challenge. I emailed Cee Bailey's and their only suggested windshields were for a stock bike with no fairing. I even attached the picture showing what I currently have. They offer custom windshields, so I'm surprised they didn't offer that up as an option. I emailed them back... waiting for another reply...
