Default Road King windshield - lockable?

I am looking at getting a Road King and wondered about the windshield. It doesn't look like it locks. It there an aftermarket lock kit?

Yes, Burkus makes a good kit for your seat,bags and shield. I just put all three on my RK for my trip to Vegas and Laughlin next month.

I believe HD also makes windshield locks.

Memphis Shades has the Switchblade lockable windshield, and it looks nice enough for my sig bike (windshield bought after sig pic was taken).

I think it would more than likely be finding a scratched up shield swapped out for my nice clean non scratched unit.

I've been lucky enough to park my bike in well lit, highly traveled areas. Have not needed a lock yet. But I'd be more worried about my bags than the shield. Those are some desperate criminals.

I have the Brukus set up for my shield. Works great, very secure and solid and gives me peace of mind when cruising the interstate at 80 mph.

Thanks! Is the Burkus kit just bolt on or actual lock, so quick removal? I know I will want to go without the windshield at times.
