Default Question about fitment

I have a 2008 RK, my bat wing has a windscreen held by 5 bolts I have researched and looked and I cant find a windscreen. My question is would a regular 3 hole windscreen fit? I don't want to go spend the money and buy one and not work. here is a pic of the batwing and the windscreen.

Maybe if you drill the missing holes and customize it, but no, not a direct fit. You'll need to find one for your time period. I know Memphis Shades make some. 86-95 are all 5 hole.

RKs didn't have batwing fairings so the one you have is likely aftermarket.. It's probably close to a 95 Electra glide. which used 5 screws. Drag specialties has some fairings that show 5 screws. Look through the catalog or even talk to LRS or Clearview.

Here is national cycles.
