Yeah, it's gonna take some fabrication. Not too bad, but a bit. I like to use stainless because when you're done, a little wire wheel work and it looks like chrome and you don't have to paint it. I suggest finding a windshield that you like, hold it up there and start making brackets. Make patterns out of cardboard first, then transfer to metal, cut and bend.

I would guess that the setup from a FLHS would just bolt on to your bike:
Get in contact with a few of the Harley salvage yards and see what they have. You can still get the Lexan windshield from Rifle. I'm about to order one for mine.

Everything there is straight FLHS, instruments and headlamp housing plus the black parts. I've never seen a chrome h/l housing, which onto glass-fibre must take some trickery! An FLHS windshield bolt fit straight on, whereas an earlier shovel windshield won't. While mine was new I found the windshield was too high and modified the things to lower it a little, so I could look over the top with ease.

OP: It also appears that a previous owner stripped off the driving lights/turn signal bracket. Those are easier to come by (used) than the FLHS windshield brackets. The MoCo used that same driving/turn bracket for decades.
The part number from my 1993 Accessory book, for the actual chrome windshield brackets is 58069-93 which fit 87-92 FLHS and 83-92 FLHTP. That part number is for the set (L/R). And it would also fit my 93 FLHS. The FPM breaks them down to L - 58067-93 and R - 58068-93
There is no part number for the entire windshield assembly. Only numbers for individual parts. And there are a lot of individual parts.
On a side note, The MoCo did offer (as an accessory) a bolt on batwing style fairing. Part# 58374-91VD (vivid black - other colors available) fits 90-93 FLHS. It was $353.95 back then. But you also needed the windshield and hardware kit. Part# 58-15691 (fits 89-93 FLHS). That added another $189.95 to the tab.
