Rifle windshields?
I know they are not popular and as a result have gone out of business. But, I really like them.
I am curious about replacement windshields, are there any companies that make them? I thought I found a thread where someone said he ended up using a windshield from a different fairing, wish I could find it. Any ideas, recommendations, input?
Thanks!

Yea, it's too bad Rifle shut down. I like having a Roadster fairing on my dyna. Works great and stands out of the crowd of T-Sport fairings everywhere.
Luckily two seasons ago I bought a new windshield from Rifle due to my original windshield being hazy and scratched all up from tons of miles. Like previous poster said, you could probably buy some Lexan sheet and cut it approx size and then use a heat gun(gently) to curve it and then trim to fit.
I also seen that Lowes has a good selection of plastic bolt/nuts that can be used in place of Rifle originals if needed.

I would use plexiglass instead of Lexan. Lexan is strong, but very soft and scratches easily. Also, less resistant to solvents and fuel.

I bought a precut flat sheet of 50 percent tinted Lexan on Ebay - $30.
Like it better than the Freedom, Windvest, Klock Werks, Memph Shades or a few others I have in a box in my basement. It's next to the box of windshield bags before I discovered the 2 pouch Willie Max one.
Yeah, it scratches they all do, (jeez you can't even clean these with a paper towel) but I can just buy a new one every year or two.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I will go ahead and make my own. Beats the shipping costs, import duties, etc, etc. Besides, I have an FXRD fairing and also an Arlen Ness that I will make one of the extended fairings like the Bazaar blocker.
