why would you? Have it shipped to the house and just do it there, its a half dozen or so screws, probably take longer to get to the dealer and you can buy one of many way nicer windshields.

It looks like the seller needs to reduce the price (by about the cost of a new windshield.)

don't know about the OP.
But I think that would be useful info for price negotiation.

Yes.
I trying to figure the best way to propose to the seller that my initial offer needs to be credited as this is going to cost me.
And he has no maintenance records.

I had the same cracking problem with the detachable windshield on my '94 FLSTN. I think I had 4 replacement windshields from H-D crack in the same place (lower screw holes). I finally went with a replacement glass from Memphis Shades. That one never cracked.
My vote is; replace it, but not with an OEM windshield, but an aftermarket piece like Memphis Shades for better quality.

Idk, i do all my own maintenance early but i dont keep records for crap. I keep easy to remember intervals so i dont have to. I never used my shield on my roadking, so i doubt i would replace it because of those cracks. Id say it depends on the situation.
