Default Windshield for WG front with NG Forks

My 1997 Lowrider has a 2004 Wideglide front end but I retained the 39mm (as opposed to the WG 41mm) front forks and I'm looking for a quick-detach windshield. Harley dealership said I must purchase Narrowglide mounting kit and windshield separately. The total cost comes to over $650; there's got to be a better way!

A Windvest windshield would look good on that bike. May not be quick detach though.

Default Sportech

Decided to go with Sportech from Dennis Kirk. Windvest looks nice but requires allen bolts to take on & off while the Sportech pops on & off without tools.
