Default windshield

just bought a 2005 road king without windshield. i have been looking at them on e-bay and some of them are curved on the bottom where they go into grommet and some are straight. Does any body know why there are to different styles ? and will both style fit all road kings. thanks

I don't know for sure, but I would think that there are differences between, say a 2005 and a 2011. If there is a part number available for the one you're looking at, call your local dealer's parts department and ask them if it will fit.

BTW, mine does curve back toward the engine slightly at the bottom.
