RE: Installed quick release windshield

I've had my windshield for over a year now, almost 15,000 miles and have never had a problem.

Sorry to hear that.

Make sure it is the one for your model. Brought up in another thread that it could be slightly off creating too much tension.

My 97 Dyna Wide Glide came from the PO with a semi-quick release windshield although for all I know its considered something else. (It is attached to clamps on the handlebars and on the outside of the top of the forks. with 5/8" bolts.) Anyway, I am 6-2 and it is PERFECT for any kind of riding. Don't give up, there is a good windshield out there for your scoot that doesn't cause you to get all beat up. Matter of fact, I took mine off for a 60 mile ride and regretted that for the last 55 miles of it.
