Windvest Measurement Request - 2nd try
Hey guys...I asked this several days ago in the Dyna forum and haven't gotten any responses yet so I thought maybe this forum would get some more visibility.
I've got a Wide Glide with "T-Bars" that I'm considering installing a Windvest 16" tall riser-mount windscreen on, but I'm trying to find a measurement or two before taking the plunge next week.
What I'm looking for, is the approximate measurement from the bottom of the riser clamps to the bottom of a 16" tall Windvest windscreen at its lowest and highest adjustment.
I couldn't get a straight answer out of the sales guy at Windvest. Imagine that...all I got was a pitch on how great the product is...and several questions like "Should we get this on order for you?" I really hate sales-pushers like that.
Anyway...I'm guessing one of you can help me out.

I woiuldn't think there would be any difference from the clamps to the bottom regardless of whether its the 14" or 16" Windvest.
I run a 14" on my Deuce. Its attached to the 8" risers. I think its about 5", but I'll measure once I get home and reply back.

O.K. From the bottom of the riser mount (not the handlebar mount) to the bottom edge of the sheild is 2.25" on my bike. My Windvest is adjusted to its lowest setting.
I hope this is what you're looking for.

Hey thanks...I think that's what I want.
That's 2.25" from the bottom of the windshield to the bottom of the clamp that holds the Windvest to the risers....right??
Thanks for takin' the time to measure this for me. Now I just gotta get my front end back together so I can see where it'll end up.

Yep, with the shield positioned at its lowest point, its 2.25" from the bottom of the clamp to the bottom edge of the sheild.
It looks as if we have the same style bars. It should fit fine.

Thanks man...I just gotta wait till Monday and see what the tax man has to say. If all goes well, I'll more than likely end up with one. Even though I don't think it'll go as close to the headlight as I'd like. Then I suppose I'll have to get one of those tank lifts too.
Too much going on for now though...must...get...bike...together...soon!!!
