Modify 92'OE windshield to quick-release?

Hi folks,

I have been scowering the net looking for info to change my OE windshield hardware to be detachable. A few mods to the bracket could be made but the mounting hardware seems to be nonexistent. Any Info or thoughts you may have would be greatly appreciated.

I tried it with mine, using RK stuff. The RK brackets work on the bike the but the windshield wont and the stocker would have to be majorly modified to work with the RK brackets.

Thanks for the info kowboy. So I will not be going the RK mounting route. ggrrrrr

I did read that you can mount an old shovel-head batwing with minor mods so the speedo/tach assy doesn't have to be moved but that's not really what i am looking for. I would love to be able to ride around town W/O a windshield and then for the long rides pop it on. I am kinda surprised no one has really asked about this before but maybe i am just looking in the wrong place?

Thanx again man.

I can change out my Tour Glide fairing and go back to the FLHS with windshield in about 30 minutes. It's all a matter of setting the wiring up for the change, my front harness was butched before I got it so I had to get creative. I chnaged my front harness to a molex plug.

I didn't do it on an FLH but a few years ago I had to find all the parts to put a windshield on mine. It worked but it was a pain in the *** because everything was just a little bit off.

I went to the dealership and bought the kit. It is much better.
