I have a quick detach windshield for my 07WG, does Harley offer replacement lexan only. Docking hardware is perfect put poor storage and rocks have taken their toll....

Thanks

Not sure how far gone your windshield is, but have you considered Flitz and a buffing wheel as a preliminary measure? Flitz is what many private pilots use on their windshield for simple restoration (mostly hazing).

I think Memphis shades does. You could call Jp cycles. I think you can also get them at the dealers.

Harley does have replacements as I checked a few weeks ago. They are in their parts catalog @$160 for a superglide.. Memphis shades has them for $100 in different heights and colors for my superglide, Guess which one I’ll be getting.

I like my Clear View windshield as a replacement. They have a lot of sizes available in either standard or recurve, different tints, and standard or extra wide. https://www.clearviewshields.com/mot...pact-brackets/

crzoomb,

Which windshield do you have?

I have an '07 FXDWG too, and have the Super Sport windshield (P/N: 57301-06). I like all of what Clear View has to offer, but they do NOT specifically list this windshield. I wanted to try a 'vented' option to reduce buffeting. I haven't contacted them yet to see if they can work with that particular model, so if you do, I'd be curious to know how that goes.

Good luck!

Regards,
SJK

You have to do trial and error (especially with a wide glide with the rake and all) but it is possible to reduce the buffering. I believe it also had to deal with your height. I have a bud who is short and can ride his fxr with no glasses with his windshield set up. I am 6ft so I had to get creative. But I get more buffering from my fxr than I do on the wide glide. Go figure!
